I have tossed the U Bolt idea in favour of a G Clamp.

Will shape it up nice.

Isn’t it amazing you can make something out of nothing, we’re have I herd that before.

Interesting - it set me to thinking [a habit I'm trying to cut back on ], but how do modern-day philosophers earn their crust?

Ex nihilo nihil fit would @Parm -enides answer

@slim_boy_fat , today's philosophers call themselves "influencers" and earn money from people who cannot think for themselves that look at their crap on YouTube or instagram all day long

Ah, yes....they're the product promoters, I meant real philosophers who ponder the meaning of life, the universe & everything - although we already know the answer to that is 42.

Now I can throw my rubbish in the art.

Not really, People always point out that they could do it but they don't have the imagination.
I've yet to see any of them try but.
It is basic stuff and I don't have any fancy machines.

 

[selectedgrub]

Mongrel stuff

This is were I go on a tangent, a parallel you might say I'd use the top cog for the lamp holder.

 

[selectedgrub]

Where I start the grind marks will be a bit of love so it doesn't look too much like a sack.
Before I shape base I mock up.
