[modeleng] Re: How do they make that?

Be careful you don't get what you wish for Alan - turned wooden lids for jam 
jars, coffee jars etc used to be a nice little earner! <VBG> Nowadays, with 
these quarter turn devils, we tend to cheat and glue the existing lids 
insdie turned wooden covers, but they still look pretty, as long as you 
choose your wood to match the contents of course - no colour clashes allowed 
!!! <LOL>

Tony.

PS, try free hand cutting internal threads with a hand chaser in wood for 
one of these lids sometime - it is "different"!
