Hi Alan, Thank you for looking at my post,this is the type of job that once you start you must finish,good job I work in the Opticial industry as this tiling can play havoc with your eyes,but what a learning curve, the problem I found was you can lose track of where your heading,but you have got to try it.

Hi Mark, Thank you for looking at my post,I will be posting more pictures as soon as I can on the tiling,bet you can't wait to start!!.I estimate it will take about 500 hours at my speed and may be cross eyed at the end but worth every bit of it.

Hi Mo, Thank you for looking at my post,in answer to your post the lathe I used for this type of work is the Unimmat Classic,you will find a few on this forum use it.This unit can mill horizontal and vertical also as a wood turning lathe,a jigsaw,a sander and a hand held drill and a bench drill,and that's not all. The Unimat was the start to my home workshop there are many accessories for you to expand the system still further,Mo it all fit's together,and turn's around just like the Lego the kid's have.I just love it the latest turning I have done is the fire buckets. I hope I have helped you in this reply. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Trev, Love your miniture furniture you did a fantastic job on the wardrooms. I may try to add a few of your ideas to my Victory if that is ok with you, I think it sure adds a nice touch.
