I think that you've nailed it Graham, just adding fins will help to disperse more heat into your workshop. Many thanks for sharing Graham. =D> =D> =D>

I recall making a similar base about 15 years ago when I was a fabrication engineer for ten years. I recall using 40x40x5mm which I believe would be strong enough for what you need. Good luck

I think it's really neat Neil. If I could make one half as good I'd be happy. Thanks for sharing =D>

Really neat Martin, is it someone you know, and what size is it please? Thanks for posting =D>

WOW That's spectacular. Contrast in colour /shades is fantastic. Thanks for sharing

I think it's great for a prototype, I've seen these before on utube and thought about making one. I look forward to seeing your adjustments of what will be a great project for keeping you warm. Thanks for posting =D>

WOW CB !! Looks like they welded 2 saw blades together, I would love to know how long it took to saw through that. Thanks for posting Cowboy _Builder

I cut a few pipes using the same method, as you have. Cut with tin snips if possible or angle grinder if not. I had forgotten the formula till watching you video. Thanks for jogging my memory Grayorm, and thanks for sharing. Nice vids on dirt bikes too, cheers ! =D>

Hi Paul I got this Charnwood W815 for about £100, with tools and other bits & bobs off fleabay. Guy on video was vendor and moving abroad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcUkeTcspJI http://www.toolite.org.uk/charnwood-w81 ... 21322.html I love it, it's a good size and can be stored away when...

Hey Graham, who is a clever tyke then ? How are you liking the decoflex then, and are you using the rotary tool extension thingy ? Really neat and thanks for sharing.

I totally agree with you, and I think I know which company you are referring to, as I went through filling all details in to find vat added at last page, which made the chuck more expensive than others. I went for a G3 from Peter Childs, great price and vat clearly stated, also great people to...

Can you rotate the head/chuck backwards or forwards at all? My Draper lathe has an indexing stub to the back of the chuck, if this is engaged it locks the spindle to remove the chuck. Will it change speed if you hand turn the chuck backwards or forwards? Sometimes the speed handle may have to...

+1 Nice one Matt =D> =D> =D>

Hi Graham and welcome to the forum. I think you have made the right choice, this was my first choice after a lot of research into other makes etc. Being a canny Tyke it should tick most your boxes and not break the bank. I was on the verge of buying this decoflex when I noticed a Hegner for...

Serving my apprenticeship, under a guy who had trained at Rolls Royce, he reckoned if you left old files outside for a few months to rust, and then wire brushed them, you had a file that was useful again. If I can remember where my old files are, I will try it, what the heck !!

WOWEE !! What a great website. I contacted Mike, he replied in a few hours, but I've put this problematic project on the backburner for a while, as I treat myself to a new G3. I signed up to woodworkers institute, and what a loada stuff they have on there, dont know how I missed them in my...
