Has anyone got some Ripple Maple spare, looking for a piece 300mm x 200mm x 40mm or larger please I have inquired at different suppliers but no luck so far. This is for a box lid, I found some in the wood pile but on carving found some internal cracks that I cannot get past.

Again it shows the old ones are still the best.

A man takes Alfred his Golden Retriever to the vet and say's 'My dog is cross-eyed and keeps bumping into things, is there anything you can do for him?' 'Well,' say's the vet, 'let's have a look at him.' hello Alfred you're a nice boy and picks up the dog to examine his eyes, then he checks his...

Fire that up and aim it at the lawn there's no more grass cutting to rake up.

Great so pleased when it all comes together, you might want to think about replacing the worn chuck now so It don't happen again.

I have one of the early aluminium ones with the galvanised step, I also have one of the workmate tool boxes, they have both been very handy, I did also get an Elu Superjaws great for holding doors, and you can turn the vise top around to hold sheet material, and used them together on many jobs.

I too counted 16 tpi making that UNF if it is 3/4" dia the shape of the tooth is 60 degree see the attached I have drawn a line that is 25.4 mm and shows 16 peaks, I think it is the damaged threads that is stopping the new part screwing on. Just had a look on e-bay and you can get a die for...

Sorry looks like I do not have the 3/4 -16 anymore I have let a lot go over the last couple of years. You should be able to find one on e-bay, the threads do need reforming to make it easy to get chuck/faceplate on.

Yes you have some damage on the thread I'll go and have a look in the shed if I still have a 3/4 x 16 UNF die I could send you.

Can you take a photo of just the thread with a white card behind it please.

I think I have some spare parts in a box in the shed: motor, base plate, wheels, table, guides etc:

Is the face plate a screw on? Any means of locking it on so it does not unscrew itself

As your lathe is 3 phase you might be able to fit a VFD so you could vary the speed, If you do turn it on with that lump on stand well back out of range we don't want to hear of any miss guided missiles flying about.

Shan, Do you have any speed control on your lathe? the 1HP should not be a problem but speed could be.

I started my full time working life on a farm in 1966 from 4am till 8pm six days a week on Sunday morning when I had milked the cows and cleaned out I could have the rest of the day off till milking time at night then getting back home around 8pm and for this I got paid a flat rate £4 -10...

Does it have to be steel? I have some stock of 25.5mm O/d x 18.5mm I/d Aluminium tube I could open it up to 19mm depending how deep the boring bar need to go in, and I could thicken the end up to take 6mm grub screws. Something like this: Edit: How long is the tube required?

I learnt on the old tools the right way to set them up to use them to get the most out of them and make a good job and get repeat work by word of mouth and more than anything I enjoyed going to work each day and using them. I see there is a lot of people that must have the most shiny, polished...

If the doors have been dipped to strip then you need to hang them soon as possible and keep them closed as much as you can until acclimatised.

Be prepared for doors moving after they come back from striping, always keep them closed for a while to stop any twist.
