• I want to make a kitchen roll holder. For the base I need something around 140 mm diameter, and I have some planed stock that’s around 100 mm. Would I be ok biscuit joining two of my bits of stock to get the width I need, roughing out the shape and turning it down on the lathe? Or is that a bad idea?

  • That sounds fine. Biscuit joints don't really add strength, just help with alignment, so I wouldn't bother as long as you're facing it anyway
