Thank's for reply happy TC'ers!!! :D

Seeksurf: Thank's a lot for advise, I'll try not to be pressed. In fact I think the summer will pass quickly with all the projects already undertaken... Go next year for this logs! And you when are we entitled to an update from you ? :)

Benjamin: Thank's for the shoes comp, I've an other pairs with leopard pattern at my work! (to take the shower...) :lol: "Nothing else to add ! " :right: Délit d'initié!

Tikimango: Thank you!

BenZ: Full thank's, much appreciated comps from you, but sorry is NOT ebony! That's Grenadill/mpingo/african blackwood (MORE HERE). Only 1400 kg/m3 :o .
Far from being a punishment carving is a game of patience with this kind of wood, I like it!

Now I present my new toy:

Last week, I renovated a lapidary sander on my old Kity, always useful.

And then I change the bearing, pulley drive and the base into a polishing machine (thank you to my mechanic friends for help and advice!)

Speed 900 rpm

Almost without sanding: correct result...

Have a good night!
Next update the swap piece finished I hope!

Jérôme.
