Most high end kits that use wood inserts (such as Struble, REC, AW,
etc) can be bought as so-called skeletons, i.e. all hardware except
the wood insert. In that case you can turn your own insert. Some
inserts are easier than others. Some seats have threads that are
raised when compared to the insert and have a section of those
threads milled out (or have a sliding hood with a raised end to
receive the reel foot), so that the insert itself can be level and
round, with only a reduced diameter section to receive the threaded
metal section. Some seats need a recessed slot in the insert to
accomodate the reel foot. You need a router mounted on your lathe to
do that properly. Some sliding band reel seats even have a recessed
slot in the insert that tapers back to the outer diameter of the
insert at the opposite end of the fixed band. Again, you need a
router to do that. For starters, you want a reel seat that does not
need a slot in the insert.

Subject: Re: [VFB] Trial by Cocobolo
Last night I planned too see my doctor and even made arrangements
for a substitute. But by morning I felt improved enough that I
cancelled the sub and ended up going to work. Today was the first
day of the new semester and I have all new kids starting Digital
Photo. I still get excited to start a new Semester, with new faces
and another chance to "get it right".
Anyway, the most disturbing symptoms are gone... breathing
difficulties and flu like symptoms... I am left with just a LOT of
itching. I noticed that I have some nice blistering going on
between my toes, in other bad spots its just rash.
In a couple of months I'll try turning Cocobolo one more time.
When I am turning (not cutting) I have excellent dust control, I
can hold the shop vac right on top of the area being turned or
sanded. It's cutting with the bench saw that drenches me in
sawdust, so maybe I can still turn this beautiful wood.

An epi shot or maybe some strong topical cream would help this go
away much fast.
