Hi Not the answer you're looking for but clockwise to lock seems just right to me

They have a website Home - Fhiaba

There is one for £998 in Saxmundham variable speed -- dont know if its too far to travel but will fit in a car -- go to Gumtree search for Wood turning bowl lathe 240v Union Graduate

I know nothing about graduate lathes Just looked on ebay the 30" bed ones seem to be selling for £600 and will do carriage for about £120 if you cant collect. Is one of these an option and then buy a short bed later or is this a daft idea?

Ive been looking at eBay for prices of used No 4 planes - so many out there but Ive noticed that a regular Stanley always seem to attract a better price than a Record for the same sort of age and condition. Any idea why?

Another quick way to sharpen a pencil (or 6) is to rotate slowly against a working bench grinder.

Somewhere in this post the OP said he had the same amount of storage/workplace in various shed/buildings (in one place?) assuming he has been able to use these without hassle from others has he considered perhaps a workable solution might be to improve these/join a few together as imo its...

I suppose that if you wanted to use 20mm bench dogs (or anything 20mm in the future) - I don't see why not enlarge. If you were to use only Sjobergs product (are they all 19mm) the holes would be a little large and the products might be sloppy fitting and gradually enlarge the hole to become...

Thanks for your comments - its not burnmarks and Ive asked an elephant or two if they would use it so the most likely is a reground chisel for a one off turning tool - with its shape it would cut consistent depth slots.

So I popped into my local arty tarty shop where they sell all sorts of new/old/recycled things ranging from vintage clothes to a cake icing supply shop - they also have an old tools area. I have previously bought a few tools and a plane, their things are usually cheap, labelled wrongly old...

Not for me, seems insecure and do you have register with the lotteries commission or something? the only time I won a competition it was online with a major manufacturer and I won a £500 TV and dvd player, safer with a major manufacturer/retailer in my opinion

Sign me up for a Factory Tour, when Ive been I will report my findings

Ok someones got to say it ----- Nettlefolds---------

Thanks for this info Robbo, invaluable. I have a Minor that after buying some years ago has been carefully stored (put in corner of garage) and having found this thread Im now tempted to put a few of the accessories in place and give it a whirl. Mines on the original Post Office Red cabinet

Welcome enjoy

Lathe speed? fast slow? Ive been waiting for the aha and have watched part of the Hope video a few times - I think Ive got it now. The cutter is spinning but stationary - the project moves in or out at the speed of the thread of the handle/tool thread so as thats constant it will only allow the...

Absolutely spot on Pete many thanks, thats a long outstanding mystery solved. Not that Ive worried about it for that long but every now and then I come across it pick it up wind the handle in and out perhaps take the threaded part off the end look and say to myself well its good quality...

No they don't have grease nipples :)

Ive had this for 20 years I bought it with a woodturning lathe from the son of an experienced and pretty good turner who had died. The son had no idea what it was for and it didn't fit in with any of the turning associated tools dust extractor (or anything else in his workshop) including the odd...

Yes I think thats it MikeK, I came into the room just about when the Clifton bit started. Ive looked at the YouTube and some of its the same content, the original somehow manages to do with a good English accent and not an American voice over. Might have been one of the business owners and...
