Can anyone tell me if these will fit the Charnwood Nexus 3 chuck please. Or someone who has these jaws could give me the hole centre distance of one jaw. Thank you

Hi I am told not to use old tee shirts etc for buffing on the lathe because of the obvious safety issue. What does everyone use instead of this? Yes probably opening a old can of worms here. Tried a search but no luck.

If you are near Charnwood Tools they have 2 ex display mag mounted led light left at 15.00 from 29.00 they are as new. If you ring dare say Darren would put one aside for you. Save you the journey to find they have gone. Ps. Not sure were to put this so here it is.

Yeah That's the way. I always report these scams do it with Tax, PayPal,Bt and others you my by doing this stop other people who are not so internet savvy from getting scammed.

Was going to ask about quantity to put thanks for that.

After the informative input by everybody I decided to to make a brush jar for S/S. As shown, cost me 80pence for the pastry from Wilkos the rest nothing. Will see if it's successful when I get some more S/S.

Thanks muck appreciated.

Anyone please

Interesting read on the soaking. Is it best to get near the final shape then give it a soak? Would I soak by applying with a brush or place it in container to do it. As you can see still learning the basics.

I have some Bessey 1/2" pipe clamps, brought them back from hols in the USA. Bought the pipe here off EBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... 2&_sacat=0 Threaded and you get a coupler.

Yeah think you right about it showing up more because of the colour. Really love the finish funny the wife doesn't like the colour at all. :lol:

Bought a piece of padauk to give it a go. Nice wood and finish but the dust is unreal. Don't think I will use it again. This is what the extractor looked like after and the filters in my trend a/s/pro. Also had a vacuum at the front of the lathe so this wood shows you what's floating about while...

Thanks to everyone for your input,was much appreciated. =D> =D> This is the finished item turned out fine for my first attempt. Used a combination of CA and Sanding Sealant. Finished with friction and mycrocillite. Have just purchased a spalted beech blank 10" x 4.75" and cut it into 2...

Here is a piece I am experimenting with today thanks to Luker for this bit. I covered the whole outside with CA then gave it a light skim seems to have worked quite well. However the area shown was very soft and still feels pocky should I continue to turn the whole outside till this is gone...

Should I turn close to the finished size seal with sanding sealer and Ca on soft areas then through the grits. :?:

Does all spalted wood have soft spots? Or does these areas harden with time?

Hi Only been turning about 8 months and looking for advice on spalted beech turning and finish. I want to make a potpourri bowl about 5" dia. Got my eye on a blank that should do it. What problems are there with spalted beech that I should be looking for with turning and finishing? Any advice...

Would like some input on finish please. I am not turning this,I intend to fish the top to a high gloss finish 3 items will be inserted on the top which will be proud . The Burl is 10" x 9"×2" I am looking for advice on finishing this as I have never used this wood before? Thanks for any input

Realise that about being a after filter. I want this before my next investment which is the Trend Airshield Pro. Tried one on the other day and have decided I prefer it to the axminster apf 10 plus the filter is a better protection. I am going for the air filter because of all dust in the garage...

Hi I am looking at getting the above while on offer at Yandles. Anyone got one and are you pleased :lol: or not :| Any input welcome.
