As above. I've also got the small Ax lathe, and opted for what I think is now called the SC2*(previously the RP2000) Reason for that choice was the weight, which I felt had I used the bigger SC4 would have put too much strain on the lathe main bearing. It would prematurely wear it out. It is...

Thats what she used before and it fkd it up royally. I think varnish is not a finish we can use here I thought oil for ease of use, doesnt really require any training- wipe on/wipe off. But with a residue of cellulose probably hanging around a replacement cellulose is likely the better option.

Blue bar thing top of the page - says Forums, whats new, cms, media etc Click 'forums' Scroll down you'll see one that says 'Woodturning lathes' Click that. Post there.

Hi there :) Put up a post int he dedicated turning bit. You'll get a lot more info there.

Ok. Sister had a dining table. oak/oak veneer, main table top is veneer. A bit back she tried to refinish the table in varnish, which didnt take, and left the top sticky to the touch. I couldn't honestly say for sure but i think a cellulose finish originally. Recommended a few things for her...

I'd opt for strong legs. you can always bash the peg in tighter.

Im just watching "The story of English furniture on BBC iPlayer Does anyone know of any references or examples of when pole lathurians moved out the woods and into specially designed workshops. In it there was a woodcut showing a turner on a pole lathe, but not a springy tree but a solid...

Rolled onto the books in 20th march 2024 It doesn't really matter how many inhumane laws the conservative party initiates, they'll still be immoral, and can be fought on those grounds. I expect the nazi party during their tenure enacted similar laws

Appears all to have turned into Maga Carter.

I honestly can't believe the general public would readily agree to that if they could parallel any of it to themselves. But with a right wing media, full information will be thin on the ground. Mind you, They got brexit done™ Didn't they ?

Related question - Whats the best wallpaper stripper steam generator ? I suppose they all do pretty much the same thing, just really comes down to the tank size. Or are any using something different ?.

Accost them in the street. Have to admit, it's a tried and tested method.

I've seen a steam chamber made from just a plastic bag. So nothing extravagant is needed.

Power. as above. Fitted an 80t(neg rake) to the crosscutter. Finish on hardwood was smooth as glass.

Im thinking of buying one. Basically for the mitre saw etc, so it doesnt need to be the largest. And forget the L v M as theres no real difference. CT, CTL. 15, 25 what ?

Wenge is completely different visually. African rosewood is one of those names that they use on a host of timbers, but though it is similar to true rosewood, its not the same and is missing the dark streaks commonly associated with rosewood. I like Wenge. Its pretty striking. Just dont get a...

I'd also be opting for the bandsaw. With a fine tooth blade, and even go so far as the wrap the rod in either tape, or even several layers of paper, just whatever prevents the breakout. Tape, obviously you have the issue of its sticky residue, but paper, you lay the rod on a sheet of newspaper...

Hello and welcome. Im bumping this up so others can also be welcoming. Looks like you've just slipped down the board too quickly Nice makings. Keep it up :D

Cordless is ok but its more site orientated, if you are working from home in a workshop 240v(or 110v) will give you more power and longer use. Its less likely because its in board material. Only really presents a kick back issue if it is in solid timber which as we know can move as tensions...
