Thanks PJ for such a brilliant write-up, I agonized for days whether to go with the talking lathe thing, thought it was just too silly. My sparky friend convinced me it would be ok... Its his fault!! Haha
Cheers

The talking lathe might not do it for every thing one might want to relate about machine tools but it certainly works well in this case. Consider such approaches on a case by case basis.

By the way great workmanship. It looks like you profiles the handle end by hand. If so that is impressive all on its own.
