Message: <blockquote data-quote="IanA" data-source="post: 1416698" data-attributes="member: 34390"><p>My attempts to drill a long central hole in a piece of timber on a lathe have never been entirely successful.   The way I now go about the problem of cutting a hole for a lamp flex might be considered unacceptable by some but it is simple and as yet has never failed.  First I cut the wood in half longways.  Then either plane, route or saw out a channel, big enough for the flex, in the centre of one of the two pieces.   The pieces can then be glued back together with an almost invisible joint.  The piece is then mounted on the lathe using the ends of the channel as centres.   This I've done several times with pieces up to a metre long and the joins have never been noticed, (as far as I know that is).    IA.</p></blockquote><p></p>
