Any more comments like that and I wont be able to get my hat onIf I had a hat I'd take it off to you Ken. Very clever.
...I'm now handing it over to the finishing department
I hope you rewarded yourself with a nice piece of pi.
Yes Titch ! the old 3.142 has been punched into the calculator a few times this morning...I could have used 3.14159 26535 89793 but the calculator wasnt big enough also there is another angle at the butt joint (making it a compound angle) to take into account...but I didn't want to go that far ..but I've worked it out anyway it's about 17.40' on a 2.5" circ. and gets lesser for greater diameters.I hope you rewarded yourself with a nice piece of pi.
OK someone has got to tell you.. you dont spell "heel" with an "A" in it thats for when you cut yourself and it's starting to got better "heal".:rulez:By this I assume you mean a professional finishing factory staffed by a crew of serious people working in spacesuits and respirators? Who ever does your finishing is a real artist. As everyone knows, finishing is the "Achilles heal" of instrument making. I think she needs a pay raise.
