Well done everyone (y)

Agreed. When I had a Versachuck, I encountered a few small issues. Mainly, the engineering jaws wouldn’t fit in the chuck at all and the jaw carriers I ordered weren’t a complete set (missing no.4 and two no.3). After a chat with Phil (very helpful) I ended up sending it back (reluctantly) as I...

Had a change of plans so I’m back home (with parents in tow:LOL:). My gift has just been delivered. Thank you to the sender and also thank you to Phil for organising.

true(y):)

Not that it matters but krisskross appears twice on the gift received list

I’ve been home today as I received confirmation my bike was being delivered this morning. Post was delivered whilst I was there, junk mail only. I’ll be back home in the new year but my relative said they’d continue to keep an eye out and let me know. I’ll post a message when I hear something.

100% not received yet(y). I’ll let you know when it turns up Phil

I don’t how English post works either and I live in England :LOL: It’s a complete lottery on how fast something will turn up…if it does

I think they should give an award to the person who can actually manage to stay faithful to their wife, husband or partner (not dance partner) whilst partaking.

Will update when received. Eagle eyed relative will notify me. I’ve got to go home for a day anyway to be there for a delivery (new bike :) ). If the planets align, I’ll be there to collect SS.

I’m off to visit parents tonight and spend Christmas with them so I won’t be home for a few weeks. Got a relative keeping an eye out for any post/deliveries so I’ll update when secret Santa turns up. Without meaning to sound presumptuous.

And a ferrule made from unobtainium (y)

Agreed. They are all very nice(y)

I'm going to call them spheres (and be boring). They look pretty good to me, I've turned a few and its not easy to get them properly round and a consistent size.

My turning experience is limited (only been doing it since January 2020) but I'd prefer to turn the object as a spindle. If you paper joint, a chuck gripping a tenon would be ideal for a bit of added security. I've only paper jointed once, 4 pieces of 2"x 2" to have a go at inside out turning. I...

I agree with you...I mean yew:unsure: Such a nice timber. I also have to mention purple heart..I utterly despise doing flat work with that stuff..its like hand planing concrete but when its on the lathe, its pretty nice.

It definitely needs an overhaul. Either less people (or get rid of more than one at a time) and allow more time for each project.

posted mine on Wednesday

I wouldn't worry too much. I asked Phil a question a while ago regarding gifts and he replied 'send something you'd be happy to receive'.
