Can't speak for or against the others, but suspect they're pretty awful, but the one thing, (literally, the one thing), me and the missus argue about is Virgin-effing-Media. I detest their sales techniques, their customer service, even their pathetic attempts at humour on the terms and...

They don't seem to do HSS though, or am I missing something on their site?

Nice! Do you just do the amazon or ebay search, or have you a good supplier you use? Cheers Greg

Pe2Dave, Here's the video - can't remember where Richard explains it, but you'll find it easily enough. Interesting demo if you've the time

Oooh, yes! I like them a lot. Very elegant 👏👏

Wow, that's a beast! Phil, can I ask, do you need to do anything to the HSS bar after you've ground it to a skew? TIA Get

Hmmm, had that happen loads! Usually a sharp edge a GENTLE, MEASURED cut should remove it, our at least some of it. If it's gone out of round as it's relaxed, it could be a pig to use a tool on it and just lead to frustration. Onto sanding - slow speed. It seems frustrating, but worth it. Use...

Adam, If you call Crown, their product manager will talk you through the metal make up, etc

Nice , thanks. Beautiful figure.

You could use Jacob Rees Mogg with a pencil in his mouth and a spike up his jaxxy. He likes laying down on a bench and he's been put on the back burner, so won't be missed. Sorry. Not helpful 😔

Or spend 9 quid more and get an m42 razor edge for longer edge holding? http://www.marksanger.co.uk/page29.html

I like that, Adam. Nice clean separation of curves. Is it called a bird's beak either side of the bead? Only bit I reckon would improve it is slightly reducing the thickness of the part between tip bird's beak and the top - just think it would lighten it a bit? Oh, and as a language pedant...

I watched it too- I love his demonstration style. And he's a damn good turner - makes it look so easy! I have not got on well with scrapers, so am going to try negative rake grind - can't do any harm. Certainly if it marked them more usable, can't see why not go with it.

Like it

That is cool!

Woohoo! Lovely grain Paulm and nice haul, NN. Funnily enough, I was about to ask if the image was ceps - my French dad was mad for foraging anything fungi - had about 10 books in English or French. He even taught the late great Carluccio a bit on the subject. (Though I do remember the...

☝️ What he said - very nice. Any other angles we can see?

Laurence Fox is an incredibly privileged pr*t, who spouts whataboutery at every opportunity. Anyone in his position who fails to recognise the advantages he's enjoyed through luck of birth is deluded. Calling out racism, sexism, etc-ism doesn't make it 'cancel culture' per se. Sure, debate is...

Aaaaannnd, a pig just flew by...

Failing a colour match, could you make a feature of it, by opening it up and add a line to match the other lines? May be a stupid idea, but can't see rest of box to see what effect would be. Was just a thought
