Shape sanding is best done with French wheels. Allows contact at variable angles. These work great.
They use metal lathes.I already have a lathe, but it's a metal lathe.
Naw, I'm not into this for anything but the fun. Once you try to do something professionally, there are deadlines and other criteria you have to meet and it stops being fun!
If I get in a tight spot, I can just put it aside for a while or say "That's good enough".
Can't do that as a professional, and I have no desire at all to be in that spot.
Unfortunately, reading a random post in this forum is all the justification I need!I was just trying to justify a new toy for you.

sorry, I still have difficulties translating my humor into written english (also on other forums, but the more brits, the better it goes)I appreciate your points and I thank you very much for sharing them with me.
If I gave you the impression that I didn't appreciate your post, I sincerely apologize.
It's really so easy a caveman could do it. It sounds complex, but it's just a few simple steps and a repair that might cost someone a penny or two can be done in the home shop!^^^^^^^ Holy smokes, Phil, you took to this hobby like a duck takes to water. So far, I'm just a "cleaner" not a repairer. Will probably stay that way.

The repaired cracks in the shank are invisible.
