Hi Johnny, The cellar is really starting to look something like and when you get the stove in there should be no excuse for a spongy floor! I'm sure you know what I mean!! FIL certainly seams to know his stuff and is doing a great job for you Johnny. I will keep watching for the next installment...

Hi George, Thats a really nice platter with an intreging pattern. I wonder if you could provide a clue or two as to how its created as it is most unusual but very artistic. Regards, Ian

Hi guys and thank you all for your comments. Hi Johnny yes your work shop had been tastefully covered in shavings to prove you had been very busy prior to my arrival and you kettle provided a fine drink for us all. Anyway you know what the walnut looks like now. Hi Paul, the time spent with...

Hi Steve, Nick is very inspirational and we worked through from start to finish with him putting ideas forward and the decoration just developed as the day went on. It was not long enough but most satisfactory. Regards, Ian

Hi Steve, Thank you for the comments and when you get over to Norfolk you must meet up with Johnny and see his work we really enjoyed the meeting. If you can persuade your good lady to have a shopping trip round Norwich a day with Nick is very rewarding!!! Regards, Ian

Hi All, Due to other commitments and also problems with the computer I have only been reading the forum when times have allowed. I have just had a couple of weeks in Norfolk and met up with Johnny T and had a very good chat and a look first hand at his excellent turnings and was very...

Hi Johnny, Yes another piece out of the JT workshop with your signature all over it and very well it looks too. I do like the bold band and can understand why you wanted that look. Regards, Ian

Hi Johnny, I didn't comment on the first version but definitely did not like the feet. Now this change has made all the difference and i really like the new feet and they now compliment the excellent job you have done on the bowl. Regards, Ian

Hi Johnny, Good to see you're back in the spin again and two nice examples of your work. The grain says it all in the first bowl and needed no further attention and the detail of the second looks really well. Regards, Ian

Welcome Neil, I have had a look at the seed pod and that really is impressive so look forward to future posts. Regards, Ian

Hi George, I really think that your piece of work is a superb hard hitting statement that should be exhibited in every doctors waiting room. Lynda and i quit 3 years ago in January after smoking 40 year each in the April i had mild chest pains and in June 2 blood clots on my heart nearly...

Hi Nick, I must endorse your comments about how good the show was and really enjoyed chatting to you yesterday. It was well worth the 170 mile round trip to be able to see all the stands without a crush and the other half and the girls enjoyed the gardens and shops. A really great all round...

Hi Richard, I looked twice at the photograph and realised it did not ring true but if you check over back issuses it happens quite often with Woodturning Mag and there are cases where the same picture is printed correctly in the article. Very confusing for the novice. Regards Ian

Hi Richard, The process is as follows:- Release drive belts by lifting the motor. With the top lid on the column open you will see two grease cups or possibly nipples, one on each bearing housing and next to these you will see a hole which you may need to clean out. You will need imperial...

Hi ****, The taper is simply tapped in with a mallet and does not have a draw bar. There are several lathes that do not have a hollow head stock and certainly those with motorised heads do not. I have given it a good run and even at 3000 rpm as I am running the cutter it always has to be...

Hi Johnny, I like this hollow form and if you are aiming for a J with the finial i think you have succeeded well. I really like the whole piece well done! Regards, ian

Hi All, I have been busy recently and not had time to contribute to threads on the forum. I have read this thread with some interest as my friend Boffin53 has been perfecting his latest wood turning accessory with some trials down at my workshop where we have deliberately made use of my Fox...

Hi Johnny, Thats a fine looking piece of kit!! I wondered like many others about the clean up campaign and now we know. I've been rather busy to get on recently but I must say I like some of your output recently and this new machine is going to expand your range without doubt. I recon this is a...

Hi Johnny, I,ve been a bit busy over the last few weeks and haven't had chance to get on so I am sorry to hear you have been poorly. I thought the first prototype was an interesting concept but the learning curve of that one has produced a super result with this one. Are you contemplating a...

Rob, It does not do you any good inhaling any hydrocarbon solvent. I use cellulose sanding sealer that I buy from one of the local trade decorative material suppliers for about £15 for 750ml and dilute it as required by 50% with best quality fast cellulose thinners as used for applying...
