Clever idea Tony, but please how have you managed to completely and so neatly cover the dumb bell with the timber to have it secure; PLUS how is the handle fitted, thank you…

Tony, that's one way to keep from cutting mortises big enough. Just bang the tenons into place. LOL

OK my curiosity got the better of me, so after sneaking into you shed looking for the mallet, of which incidently I could not find, I managed to trip over your LP Gas powered lathe ..thats a very interesting way to power a lathe by the way, then I saw your shadow of you coming in so in fright I scampered.

Now after all that trauma where is the dumbell!!
Maybe next visit I am going to bring my metal detector with me.
