This was about a week after a freak snow storm caved my workshop roof in...oof

This was my first attempt at outboard turning, really enjoyable, I would like to install an emergency stop button to my right though... This platter was made from some general cr@p I had knocking around the workshop, old chopping board etc... just sanded, clamped and a little Milliput in the...

Indeed Phil, mix it up, i have heard of people going to their local key cutters and asking for the metal dust in order to add sparkle too :)

Will do :)

Pretty sure it was a burl, i try to avoid roots for the obvious reasons, could be wrong though.... The only time i use carbide is for epoxy and soft metals, the carbide didn't even know the copper was there...The aqua colour is Milliput yes and the darker green is a little epoxy with a drop of...

Great stuff, cheers :)

Many thanks, i'll put it on my christmas list :)

Nice looking ladies for sure, great forms..... we get all our Olive as firewood here, if things chill out a bit this next year we'll be driving the car back from Europe to the UK and i'll bring a few chunks with me.... let's see what happens.....

Good advice..... i found a second hand hairdryer that i keep attached to my lathe, not only is it good for fast clear up but the warm setting is good for 1: warming hands in winter and 2: warming my 5 minute epoxy in winter so it comes out of the bottles better.

Thanks Robbo, where can i find that item? Cheers

Sure is Olive, cheers

I'm going to wait until the trials are over in 2023 to make my decission.

Thanks for this link, good to know if anything happens in the future :)

It would be safer to have all the clamps to keep the lid on one would think.

Just spotted this.... Paint Pressure Pot / Tank 10Ltr Air Regulator Spray Gun Sprayer +2 x 10 ft Hoses | eBay it's the cheapest one i've seen, how would i know if it can be used for epoxy casting as it's not mentioned?

I am quite interested in making one of the 'longworth style' versions though.

It's just awkward in between the holes trying to get a snug fit sometimes.. I don't often use this bit of kit due to all the faffing around...
