Hi All,
In the Nov. issue of Woodturning pg. 91 Chris Child has a article on boring deep holes on the lathe. On pg. 92 see that neat hollow cone center. I launched into a major effort to find that piece of equipment. I had no idea of how to even talk to Chris. I talked to Clay Johnson at Choice at www.choice-woods.com, David Ellsworth and others for clues. This is what I found... Chris and Roy Child are under thier father's name for thier bussiness at WWW.peterchild.co.uk The hollow cone center that I was looking for is under lathe accessories and misc. tools then scroll down a wee bit. I talked on the phone with them both and Roy took my order right then. They are both great guys. Check out that site.
