I've done a few of these broken bolts over the years, in factory maintenance and also motorcycles etc. Easiest way I've found is to centre punch the offending stub and to drill it out with a drill bit that is smaller than the tapping drill size, taking care to move your drill as needed to...

Can u find or make a piece of tubing or round bar that is a snug fit inside your tubing ? OR a piece of screwed rod or bolt with a few nuts on that are a good fit inside the tube? if so then you may be able to silver solder or pin the close fitting mandrel to suit what you require. Easier to...

Hi Bryan. I never got that impression from your posts that I have seen. We don't always agree with what's posted, and we all have our own ways of doing things. No one can be an expert at everything either. If only people were more cleverer and perfect like me !! #-o :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hi Al....erm....... Is your dad okay with your mum having a rolling pin ? ;) (hammer)

Not in a million years mate. I don't need any more financial directors, lol. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction to know that I am depriving some woman of a perfectly good ***** !! #-o

Very nice !! And the heart is excellent !! :roll:

Really smart Woody !! What finish did you use please? Thanks for sharing =D>

Wow Dodge, that is well good !! I'd go so far as to call it spectacular, but not sure it's spelled right. :roll: I'll ask my ex wife she knows every thing :oops:

It's the Multicut 2S Variable Speed, previous to this I was on the verge of buying the scheppach decoflex, but the Hegner turned up. I am a novice scroller with limited experience Chris, but as someone pointed out "why buy a quick release screw because it only takes a second or two to pick up...

Really good Suko. What finish did you use please? looks great !

Hi Chris I've only recently got a Hegner, and my observations so far are, I love the variable speed, also my foot pedal switch, but I can't see much advantage with the quick release knurled knob for blade changing, I keep my release key (radiator key) permanently on the release bolt, it works...

Welcome to this forum Nic. I have just bought a lathe, (picking it up on Tuesday, I hope). I've been playing about part time on a lathe at a charity workshop, and have picked up a lot of tips from youtube, and was intrigued with inside out turning. I tend to read a bit for the basics of a...

Welcome to the forum R_kelsall . Sometimes youtube have some ingenious contraptions and how to build them, might be worth a look. Good luck

Can anyone advise me on this lathe please ? I've been offered one at £150 delivered. I think it's variable speed 600 / 1250 rpm 1000mm turning length max. Was sold by B & Q, no spares other than drive belts available now. Was made by GMC, now defunct co. Anyone here got one ? Any...

Welcome Bryan. I was looking at some old Hobbies weekly a couple of months ago, think they were about 1946 ish, but that's a guesstimate. I also recently renovated a homemade fort for resale at a local charity where I help out part time. Someones child now has it and I hope enjoys it as much...

I had to look this up, and found this great informative website, that I hope others will find helpful http://www.syzygywoodworks.com/news/201 ... wl-blanks/ I got some logs for my stove recently and some of the wood appears to be silver birch, some beech, and a very tight wavy grained wood...

I would think this type of wood would be excellent for intarsia with it being so light / whitish in colour. Is it quite readily available Woodyturner ? Thanks for sharing Wt

I've just googled 'scheppach 405' and in my opinion £140 seems a good price. ( I thought I'd seen one at about £124 on fleabay, but can't find it atm.) I was on the verge of buying one of these and had researched this make & model for a while, lots of members here on Ukworkshop appear to have...
