I got a Myford ML7, it's a pretty good one. I absolutely love it. great wee machine as long as you realise it's limitations. There's a huge market for Myford bits and pieces, so I can buy myself presents every so often.

Nice bike!! No problem getting over a bunch of pedestrians on that one!! :)

That looks like a serious lathe!! I have often turned wood on my metal lathe rather than the wood lathe. I like the precision I can get. I also turned a long bit of 20mm round steel bar on my wood lathe. I wasn't impressed with the finish, or the severe chatter in the middle of the but but it...

You are braver than me. I wouldn't dare cycle on the motorway!! ;)

Welcome to the Forum

I tend not to use cycle paths because they are dangerous. They are usually very poorly constructed, extremely rough, never maintained, overgrown and slippery. At this time of year they can be full of hawthorn cuttings where the hedges have been cut. I often travel at a speed which would be a...

Any possibility of drilling through the wall from the inside and fit a mains powered dawn to dusk or a mains PIR floodlight?

I've have one almost identical to these from Mountain Equipment. Had it for a few years. I use it for cycling, it's brilliant. They are very light, but very warm, especially round the neck. Quite windproof as well. My one is beginning to flatten from being washed so often. There's no way I would...

I'm a very keen cyclist. I have seen some dreadful cyclists, some great cyclists, some dreadful motorists, some great motorists some dreadful pedestrians and some great pedestrians. It's not the mode of transport, it's the people and the modern disease of not having respect for others no matter...

Anyone made a wooden head? I was born with one, I'm sorted for life!

I got some cheap MDF recently I plan to build a bookcase for my grandson. The rocket bookcase design is perfect!!

Before I retired full time, I did just over a year part time, only working Tuesday, Wed, Thurs, so a 4 day weekend every week. It was brilliant and a great transition from 24/7 stress to no stress. We would go out on a Friday morning to a garden centre, have a cooked breakfast, coffee and send...

What a fascinating thread and already the OP has a lot more info on his GG Grandfather and other interesting connections. It's a sin to see old machinery like that going in the skip and even greater sin when companies are closed by the finance people. They don't give a hoot about what goes in...

fascinating to watch, they are really skillful.

Just a sanity check. Once you set up the planer(jointer) to give 3mm ruler movement you do then set the depth of cut by lowering the infeed table? I would practice with longer bits of scrap wood and make sure material is being removed. Use a marker on the surface to be planed to see what's...

I guess you found this

I drill pilot holes then use a PZ1 X 250 screwdriver with suitable sized screws. The long thin screwdriver allows you to get better purchase on the screws in-line with the head.

Welcome to the forum. From Limerick......I'm a bit disappointed with your intro, so I rewrote it for you. I'm Digger 58 I just built a garden gate The top's made of wood It's really quite good But next time, I might make it straight!!

I have an older version of the Topaz suite and it is very good, I haven't been able to try sharpen AI. It won't run on my PC. Remini seemed to be way better than anything I had seen before. You know what they say, if something looks too good to be true...it probably is. Remini goes a step too...

When I was a boy scout, I learned a lot about Indian cooking. I have the bhajis to prove it!!
