now I'm curious... why on earth did you make a steam-tip from wood?
I mean, you could have done the same from aluminium, which takes about as little an effort on a good lathe as wood does, but actually gotten something which would have worked...

Or what was the idea?

just being curious :mrgreen:

Just being silly, I don't have a metal lathe, but I do have a wood one.

Any chance you'd like to machine another one of those tips and mail it to NYC?
