Just a bit of an update, like I said things are moving slowly but I'm nearing the end of all the prep. With my Dad visiting from Oz I can't do a great deal but he has been useful too.
I have the tool all sealed with polyeurethane, simply because it was the easiest way with what I had at hand. It took quite a lot though before it decided to stop soaking into the tool and create an outer coating.
Also I managed to acquire far more easily and cheaply than I expected a nice oil barrel to use as a grinding stand.
Yesterday I made a rough ply table top for the drum that sloots in nicely which I'll give a rough sand and then seal it with the left over varnish.
I think all that's left is too cut and bevel the tiles and then attach to the tool and I need to bevel the edges of the blank before I can get underway.
Oh and I need to clear out the room I want to use, possibly the biggest task of them all.
