Steve, That is Realy nice, once my turning gets any good i have to give that a go :shock: ( i like the latter lid, its different )

absolutely Ian, but one step at a time.. i had to buy a lathe and chisels first, just waiting on grinder now 8)

its ok Chas, il try different images, smaller etc, till i find the issue if not, il use my phtobucket as you say. cheers :)

it just comes up with "The image file you tried to attach is invalid" dunno why.

so ? we ALL have, no need to make an issue of it...

thanks Steve, so I guess your saying there is no trick as such, just practice.. I left my soldering iron on my desk the other day, leaving a burn mark on it :? dont supose this counts as pyro ? :lol: i have turned a few small things, they are not very good, but having only had the lathe a...

hmm, ok, il buy the book :wink:

Hi Steve, like it, yes it is quite art Deco-ish.. im new to all this, liked the little detail on its bum, as to the pyro, which setup do you use ? and how did you keep the lines so clean ? i have never done any burning , in fact i have only started to turn last week :? thanks rob

ok ta, i do know how to sharpen tools, i just dont have a grinder yet, at least, i have a fair idea..all in good time, to suggest that one should know how to sharpen before he starts to turn, i would guess, almost never happens, after all, we all got to start somewhere .. i am sure that book is...

thanks, thats seems rather silly.. :roll:

thanks, I know that the drill sharpener is not for woodturning chisels, it was just a thought. i would not pay the £230 plus for the Creusen HP7500TS, i am going for the £50 Record Power RPBG6 6 " grinder, (also featured on the peter child website) it has along with the standard grey stone...

thanks , il look into it.

thanks yes the 8mm is a spindle gouge, to be honest i am not very happy with the faithfull chisels, they arrived with 1 not straight in the handle and another with varnish all over the brass ferrule and the "faithfull" lettering not printed properly, but rather than return to amazon, i...

yes thanks , but i find that skew sometimes wants to move up or down the workpiece by its self, im not sure why its doing that... :roll: maybe it is not sharp enough ? also, with respect, it dosent answer my question, i dont want my new expensive gouges to be limited in use.

Hi all, I am very new to woodturning, :roll: i have bought a SIP 01360 36 lathe and i initially bought some cheap clark chisels to get me started, i have now bought a set of Faithfull WCTSET8B HSS woodturning chisels, but they are much thicker than the clark, which is good, but i find that i...

ahh, copying is part of the fun... thats what i was wondering.. yes i get you.. thanks :wink: ps, the stuff on the turnedwoodenbowls.com site looks great, the wee mice and the bowels & vases etc.. very cool, can't wait to have a bash (hammer)

ahh, i was just kind of planning initially on designing and building myself from scratch, but upon reflection, time, health and weather is not on myside, ( my garden fence blew down the other night, im in glasgow and the wind is mental at the moment. the Record CL1 looks nice, but i only plan...

many thanks for the warm welcome :D , funnily enough i was looking at a clarke at machine mart.. i guess not, lol. i wont buy anything expensive as its my first, plus the missus would kill me as i just spent over £500 on a shed.. i was going to build it from scratch, but when i tallied up...

im just a brand new novice, dont have a lathe.. but i would be delighted to make them, they look great :P
