So what could I do while Mrs B is busy finishing off the Christmas cake?
Step 1. Head to the shed
Step 2. Select four bits of wood
Step 3. Rough cut them on the Band Saw and glue the two smaller bits together
Step 4. Turn the two discs and then break the two bits apart again (should have waited for the glue to dry)
Step 5. Grab another bit of wood and re-turned the small pillar
