Hope your feeling better soon Tom. My ar$e has been in tatters for a while, the Doc said I might have Crohns but nothing more has come of it after they shoved this tube up my bum :shock: and saw nothing abnormal. I reckon it was that vegetable chilli masala and probably beer, but I'm...

I like beer. Real Ale. Not some fizzy, keg type stuff, or that cream flow crap. I have been known to drink a lager in the summer but generally prefer a light ale. The trouble these days is it is hard to find a decent pub which sells well kept beer. Which is very sad :cry: :cry: and also...

Thanks for the links Brendan I will certainly have a good look at the utube for tips and demos. Very useful place. Jim, I think your right. There are accessories to attach motors to the controls and some sort of screen. The fella I bought the lathe from said he was upgrading to a CNC machine...

Thanks for all the kind comments. I am looking forward to getting to grips with the lathe and have purchased a few reference books to get started. A retired engineer friend of mine has also offered to provide some coaching and guidance which will be very helpful. I was lucky to land on this...

Well shipmates, here is a picture of my recent ebay scoop. A Wabeco 4000E metal working lathe with a full set of accessories, some never used. The lathe is 18 months old. I am not an expert on these machines, which appear to be well regarded. Typical German quality and engineering. The...

Yes, happy new year shipmates. Lets hope 2010 will be a good year for everyone. :) Cheers, Tony.

That would make a rather splendid soup pot. 8) Tony.

In an attempt to aid in the marketing of these items I would say that the BU Jointer with the fence is a cracking good buy for some young whippersnapper around these here parts. :) Nice items, Tony.

Seems a good idea fellas but that connector is not in the required green and black livery, sorry. :wink: :oops:

Hello fellas, Here is an action shot of Ed's lovely plane, working very nicely on a scrap of Pearwood; The flat top on the front of the plane is an excellent design feature providing a perfect place to perch the left hand. It is true I did hit the jackpot with this lovely gift. :D Thanks...

Merry Christmas forum friends, Did anyone notice....... thats not just any old Penguin? - it has "added Calcium". Perfect for keeping Rob's teeth and bones in good order! :) I have received a fabulous gift from Ed. A lovely smoothing plane together with a very nice mallet. I am not sure...

Well done Brad lovely job. I approve. 8) Merry Christmas, Tony.

Doug, from a tax perspective the answer to your question is referred to as the "badges of trade" Here is a link from the tax inspectors Business Income manual; http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/bimmanual/BIM20205.htm Interesting subject, lots of cases on this as well. I seem to remember from my...

I am looking forward to seeing all the gifts. I wonder what everyone has made for each other? or decided to buy. Can't wait - I have been looking at my package for nearly a month now. Tony.

Just must have a go at making one of those hot dog handles for my 9.

Well done Rob, looks like it is all coming together nicely. I have a large colour photocopier/printer at work, if you need any copies just let me know. I would favour an A4 size handout with the web details on, perhaps showing a collage of some pictures from past events, bashes, competition...

Glad your pressie arrived Rob :) I keep looking at mine, can't wait for the big day. I am also looking forward to the string of threads when everyone has opened their gifts. Rob, whilst this is may not be the place, please can you remind me of the events and dates organised for February...

Sent my gift away today. I am happy with how it turned out....(little clue there). Can't wait for the big day to open my presies. Tony.

Finished my gift this afternoon, will send next week. I have also received a very weighty little package.???? Can't wait for the Christmas day. :)

Thanks for that tip Riley. The lathe looks like a good buy, but seems as though it will require a fair bit of fettling, making good. I think your right Newt, the little Unimat is just a bit too small. I am going to keep an eye out on the bay. There is no immediate hurry, as I also need to...
