Hi,

Perfect throwing kit, - cheap school geometry set.
straight edge of the ruler, rib of the protractor, controlled cylinders =
with your set square,
callipers with your compass.
rubber to remove lousy design ideas from your note book.
You do keep a notebook, dont you ?

Back in lecturer mode !

Personally I straighten work with a ruler and then go back and throw up =
again on a very slow wheel with dryish fingers right from the base.
Yes, possibly it is contrived.
but I want a straight, loose, cylinder.
and I hav'nt worked out a better way yet of doing it. =20
