I would really like to see the competition continue next year. Just a suggestion - some months I have plenty of time, others I hardly get to look at the lathe never mind turn anything. If several months worth of 'rules' to the different challenges were posted, it would allow turnings of 2-3...

Hi, Here is my entry, made of a maple and bubinga sandwich. Sadly time ran out and I have to leave it as it is. I used a bowl gouge, and a BCT hollower with a pick. Sanded from 120 to 400, S/S, friction polish and a couple coats of Wax. Its 200mm wide by 120mm high. Good luck to everyone...

=D> Very nice plane. I'm guessing that has been made as a wind vane? Do you make them as children toys as well, I know the child in me would have loved one. =D>

Very nice. You now have the sugar bowl and just need the tea pot

Very Nice =D> =D>

Don’t know if it helps to understand the difference of a MCB to a RCD, here’s my take- A Circuit breaker (CB) or miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is the fuse of the system and is looking for overloads i.e. too much current being drawn down the line/live conductor. The main function of the MCB is...

Hi, Here is my entry. I thought turning balls was bad, but rings arhh. :lol: and then trying to paint them, I don't know whats worse my turing or painting! The rings where made out of oak offcuts I had. I think I just used a roughing gouge, parting tool and a ring forming tool. There does...

I think I watch too much TV, it looks like a door opening on a spaceship and the aliens are coming!!! :oops: Very nice piece =D>

I like how the difference makes it look like 2 different pieces of wood =D>

I am looking to upgrade to a better lathe but have been looking at how heavy they are and how could I move it on my own if the need arose. I read somewhere about someone using jockey wheels as found on trailer/caravans. I don't know if this would work but the idea of jacking the lathe up, moving...

Always had a problem when using the skew chisel, right - shoes and socks off tonight :lol:

Very nice =D>

Thank you very much Adidat. PM sent

Hiya, Does anyone know of where I could purchase thumb nuts like these: All the google results I get are for main manufacturers or sales in the 1000's - I am only after a few!! Any leads would be really appreciated. Cheers David

THATS NOT FUNNY :lol:

Fantastic pots, really like the colours of the first 6 pots, not too sure of the ones that have bright white resin - just not my cup of tea. =D>

Are you thinking of a screwbox and tap? There are antique ones from somewhere like: http://www.oldtools.co.uk/tools/Other_M ... Tools.html Or places like Toolpost or Axminster do them new. Toolpost also sell a system made by Beall which uses a router to cut the thread which is superb but...

I'm glad I don't have to judge! Well done to all, Too close to call on nearly all the pieces IMO.

I have the record twin motor vacuum and it is really good, from wood chips off the thicknesser to the table saw, bandsaw to a nossel on a stand for sanding at the lathe. It copes with all of this easily. The only thing I would say against it is a tad noisy, you would need to turn the radio up...
