It was Plum and the cracks were clearly visible whe you began. I'm sure you learned something; this was a real scary one. You were really lucky there Mike! Thnx for sharing!
WOW! So happy you were holding the cardboard. Had one of those chunks hit you it would have left a mark for sure. I am curious as to where the original failure was? The crack you glued? A line of bug holes? A hidden fault that you couldn’t see? You may well never figure it out. You couldn’t see it, but you had already accomplished your goal long before you turned the speed up that last time. Thanks for showing your mistake and for the reminder. Glad you weren’t hurt. Spin ‘em round.
Super,scary - glad you’re ok. Also I noticed spigot way too big for jaws actually giving less grip than a smaller spigot allowing jaws to grip in the round.
