My wife took to buying second hand furniture earlier this year, including some Ikea Billy bookcases and the matching Gnedby cd/dvd towers, 3 of each. After a long drive around Derbyshire and Staffordshire picking up various bookcases from different addresses we had the pleasure of unloading the van and sorting out what we had. Only one of 6 units was un-assembled, so I didn't have the pleasure of putting the units together, which I enjoy. Once everything was sorted and together we noticed that there were some shelf pegs missing, whether they got lost on route or weren't handed over I don't know. So I made some;
I made the 8 replacements from brass. An easy job, although tedious. When I worked as a turner I never used to like making more than two of anything, production work bored me.
So there we have it, everyone needs a lathe!
Paul.
