No need for coffee to wake one when something like that happens.

Hi Ron,
The fact that you were not hit by flying pieces of blade from this exercise shows that the knots didn't cause too much of a concern.
To solve the knot problem, I used a hole saw to cut them out to good wood, and used the lathe to machine press fit nuggets of wood, and glued these in. I felt this was better than using sawdust and glue..... maybe yes, maybe no... but it seems to be working out ok so far.

They must have been doing over 450 rpm which for 4 meters is pretty quick.... I don't wish to see them go that fast again though.
