the challenge is getting down thin enough to split off from the drive core WITHOUT going through the base / side . It really focuses your. mind on tool angles although you do have variable speed 😜. managed to get fairy even 3/8 wall thickness apart from base .

I keep reminding myself we do this for pleasure ! mind you it's very civilised we stop for lunch n then recommence at a more " leisurely " pace afterwards
