Mini Wood Lathe
Rik:
Thicknesser. It sounds like one of those beauty salon hair treatments. ;D
Simon:
Well, it is supposed to be a Christmas present, Gill. ;)
Rik:
:devil:
Looking for a chiselling, Simon? ;D
GillE:
It's supposed to be a present for this Christmas, not next Christmas.
Rik, let's put in foodie terms ;) . A thicknesser is like a combined pasta maker and mandolin. When you make pasta, you want the dough to be thin so the pasta machine squeezes it thinner. Of course, you can't squeeze wood thinner so a blade whirrs round as the wood is fed in and chips away excess wood. I've already got one of each of those ( a pasta maker, a mandolin and a thicknesser) but I've yet to get them muddled up :) .
Simon:
Great explanation! ;D
