I also run AdBlocker but still get the APTC ad at the top and a random ad on the RHS. Are there options I need to click to get it fully effective? Thanks Simon

You can always search ebay and change the filter to ‘completed auctions’ or something like that to see what other similar lathes have sold for. Sometimes the price is more about the add-ons than the lathe for older items like this. Are there any tools, chucks, fittings etc included?

Just got back from Seminar - awesome event, Paul and the team of helpers in Orange (think minions but with added tango!) did a fantastic job. I saw demonstrate: From Canada - Mike Hosaluk From France - Benoit Averly & Jean-Francois Escoulen From Ireland - Max Brosi From the USA - Harvey Meyer...

I’m in! PM sent. Simon

Yes please! My lad will love these.

Welcome. Friendly bunch here. No such this as a stupid question but the forum search facility is a useful first point of call as well all started from scratch one day and there are lots of Qs and As at your finger tips. Also, please post pictures of projects however they turn out (or go...

errrrr............ cough!

That (visually) looks just like the motor. The toy is actually a ‘ride on’ toy like this one: http://pegperegobatterytoys.co.uk/peg-p ... r-trailer/ The motor drives through a small gear box. Motor weight is not an issue as it is quite a lump of plastic + small child sat on it so the odd oz...

Any others going - looking forward to a great weekend! (Found my badge!) Simon

Mike, Nope - no lights so minded to go for 12v as you say. Really surprised at size of motor fitted to these toys, no more than 40mm dia x 70 mm long. S

It’s got 6V printed on the side so I think it’s as it’s meant to be but just NFG! This is the type of thing:

Hi folks, We’ve been given a huge lump of Green ‘John Deer’ plastic ride on tractor that can’t pull the skin off a rice pudding. Just about moves on flat, hard surface but grass or any hill, forget it. It has a new 6v battery that has been fully charged so this is it’s design best! It is U/S...

Try inpost. Much better weight limits / prices than Royal Mail that has become rip-off.

Interested to know how you get / got on. From the men shed website I wasn’t sure where the balance between woodwork and thearapy was. I was interested to go for the former but currently (fortunately) neither need or can offer the latter. Simon

Couple of thoughts: I’d be tempted to go used rather than new - esp for bowls you’ll get more lathe for the money. If you’re thinking bowl then out of balance is more of an issue than spindle work so I tend to cast iron bed rather than other construction just for kg count. I’d recommend...

John, A really great piece - I like the use of colour, especially solid / opaque colour rather than translucent colours. I also like the piercing, less ‘dense’ that Binh type pieces but really works. As an aside, I recently invested in the NSK presto dental tool, a real game changer for...

Folks, I’ve just learnt that sadly Ray Key passed away on Friday. Ray was a founder of the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain and instrumental in helping wood turning develop and flourish in the UK. He was internationally respected. I was lucky enough to been part of a class on a...

Are the squares actually square? I don’t know but I wondered if they have anything to do with sand casting or pattern making? S

I may be interested in the kitchen knife jig if you were prepared to sell separately. Simon

I’ll have mine on!
