The ongoing decline in manufacturing in this country is extremely saddening.

Some nice recipes fellas. I have had a banana on the bbq with treacle and cream and that was succulent. I will try the buttons idea not so sure about the baileys...bit girlie. How strange that Guy the gorilla ate the skin and not the fruit. Esc.

Gary that may well explain it. I don't know why the subject came up during our game of golf. I thought he was just being contrary for buggerment.

Very exciting and fascinating project. Such ingenuity. Well done Fecn. 8)

I am rather fond of the odd banana and always tuck into one during a game of golf and when feeling peckish in the workshop. A tasty and filling snack. Whilst peeling my banana this weekend my golf partner noted that I opened the fruit by snapping the stalk, before peeling it in stages revealing...

Well done indeed Rob. Looks great. Proportions seem perfect, a very useful piece of furniture. In fact, I think it is so good, you deserve to be promoted to at least the intermediate league (ignoring my own vested concerns of course :roll: ) Good luck in the competion. My shoe box sitting on...

Hello all, Here are some final pictures of my shoe polish box. I finished the box after a final sanding with a couple of coats of Danish Oil and thereafter a buffing with some clear wax polish. Here are some pictures of the inside, and showing the removable tray. Here you can see...

Thanks fellas for the advice. The chap I have bought the lathe from has offered some guidance and I will take his council when I collect the machine. I will report back. I would like to have a go at some small bowls and maybe a small table lamp. I think it would be good to get some formal...

Pete, I had a fiddle with the kapex at my local stockist and was impressed. It was very well made and surprisingly big I thought, smooth action, usual Festool quality. Sadly it will not fit in my little shed and costs a whopping £800. :cry: On another note, I was over your way last week. I...

Hello all, I have acquired a small second hand mini lathe (jet jml 1014). The lathe does not have a chuck and I do not have any chisels. Firstly, are these chisels from Robert Sorby a good starter set? http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/Prod ... uctID=6525 Secondly, which chuck should I go...

Destroyallmonsters was if I remember correctly a series of cult japanese films made in the late 50's. Featuring Godzilla, madra and some other monsters. A must watch. Highly entertaining and at the time state of the art movie effects. Has anybody watched these films? (sorry if I'm hijacking...

Hello there Gary, I have the Scheppach and and I am very happy with it, for £700 it is good value. In action it has performed well, and I have never had any problems with the rollers. The base however is poor and I made my own. I would however , endorse Nick's thoughts regarding the...
