I was told some years ago on an Outward Bound course that you lose 10% of your body heat through your head, never seen any scientific proof but you do feel a lot warmer when wearing a hat .....................(if you wore a Bowler you can keep your sandwiches inside :) )

Thanks Blister good to know.

Aha thanks Chris152 Goes to show that when your throwing out odd threads new and responding to old that you should look carefully at who has kindly replied :) Perhaps your the only person in the country who has one of these potentially 2 if I buy one as well.

Hi Chris You still around? Have you still got the Sorby lathe? How do you find it as I'm thinking of buying a variable speed one

Thanks again will see how I get on price wise - any issues with chucks is it 1"

Thanks that's the jobbie I have been offered one price not sorted yet but maybe £450. Who knows what its worth but good to get your comment. Better or worse do you think than a Record two bar later?

Good afternoon Has anybody got one of these? are they any good? any reviewing comments welcome please thanks

This might sound harsh but if its never going to move I would try the following. Put the smooth body part in a vice put a long stilson wrench on the knurled part and turn anti clockwise (most likely direction) and it should undo or if you don't have a tough enough vice then two stilsons will...

Park Cameras are online as well as a shop. Have found them very good helpful and knowledgable

I have been offered (to buy not free) a Robert Sorby lathe 48" bed which has 5 speed/pulleys but this one has the variable speed DC motor with a Dart Controls Inc electronic speed control. Only seen photos so far but it looks in superb condition any ideas what its worth please Looks very similar...

I said no to smart meters countless times then (British Gas?) came up with an idea they pay me £50 to have smart meters installed - ok so I took the money and they installed a smart electric meter but couldn't do the gas meter as they couldn't "see" each other/connect for reading. So I have...

Agree Acetone (nail varnish remover) will do the job like meths

White spirit is the problem, its quite good at removing sticky labels from things so may leave a residue on the disk. I would thoroughly clean with meths using not the white spirit cloth and give a final wipe over with a fresh cloth/kitchen paper towel with meths then let air dry. Then use a...

A point to note for Ashley Isles is that if you ever muck up the profile of a gouge they will re-sharpen/grind back to factory spec for a quite reasonable amount (about £2 each rings a bell)- they have done a set for me when I bought some used that must have been reground by an elephant wearing...

If you still have the Ryobi charger buy a cheapo battery off the web. Will hold a charge more than sufficient for that light load

There is on on ebay has an entirely different stand and tube its in Barnsley, perhaps an option would be to buy this and swap parts around to get what you need and sell on the resulting drill? Might even break even? Well just a thought

A Record lathe with 2 bars will be good - the more you spend the better it should be i.e. more speeds, longer bed - progressing to variable speed in due course; but by the sound of it this wont be a huge lifetime investment so buy something your budget is comfortable with and then enjoy. If you...

3 x Pfizer no issues

If its going to be painted then I would go with MDF its stable, no knots to cause bleed through and I have found it good for mitred or other joints.
