parcel arrived couple of days ago - forgot to post but I think this is UKWS SS?!

Just had a look at the axminster site for a couple of items - pretty much everything across many categories is out of stock. Is this covid, Brexit or really bad demand forecasting? simon

Some good newbie / selection video linked from the scrolling section on this forum.

i have the jet branded clone and had this problem. Fortunately an impact driver shifted it easily so now got plenty of grease on it. overall I’ve been very pleased but if you do any Woodturning the gouge jig was rubbish amd Tormek one is an order of magnitude or two better and worth the money.

Love the olive wood - wish I had your firewood stack!

Try watching these - some really solid basics from one of the best out there https://vimeo.com/woodturning/videos Simon

Thanks for sharing Adam. I really like the form of the finial, some nice turning. simon

I have these available,if they interest you

Mark’s right of course but can’t say we’re all not guilty of doing it on occasion 😬

Plenty of good advice above. For around the £200 mark I’d be looking second hand and probably for a mechanical variable speed Axminster machine with some accessories such as faceplate and if vey lucky, a basic chuck. do you have a workshop already as some items like a grinder with white...

I have the burn master kit. Not cheap but I spent the extra as I wanted the higher power / more robust hand pieces to almost carve with rather than just shade surface (although it will do that too). What sort of work do you want to do as no ones asked that yet and does effect any...

Hi all. a friend of mine new to turning would like a simple extractor to deal with sanding dust etc. I’ve got a triple motor canvas I love but that is out of budget so he’s looking atthe Axminster AC50E unit in their Craft range. Anyone got one and can offer a view? thanks all Simon

Just had a nice afternoon in the workshop and made quite a bit of progress on SS gift. Really is highlight of year! Simon

I think probably too high speed for sanding alas. Always helpful to have a bench grinder though, maybe just swap a grey wheel for a while al oxide wheel that is better suited for grinding woodworking toools.

I’ve got 2” kingspan foam insulation topped with 3/4” T&G ply on top of my concrete floor. Warm amd comfortable + feels very “workshopy” . Lathe just stood onto but is quite heavy in itself (vicmarc vl300 shortbed).

Great demo and always nice to listen to the practical wisdom Paul always shares in such an understated way. Great evening, thanks Terry and Paul.

Good news. Is the selling surplus stock or are the sourcing new as well?

What lathe / chuck do you have. One option is homemade Cole jaws mounted by wood plate chuck jaws. I can photograph what I have done if it helps.

Not cheap certainly but has resharpenable HSS inserts so provided I avoid nails & concrete floors hopefully has another 40 years of use for me! https://www.classichandtools.com/acatalog/Kirjes-Orbicut-Small-KIR-ORB-60020.html#SID=1265

Glad the link way useful. I think they are great and a bargain for the price - probably got 4or 5 of them about the place now. S
