Funnily enough, I thought the same. Until my lad, (20), tested positive. Slight cough, lost sense of smell, otherwise fine. When attended blood centre later, offering plasma(? I think) for therapeutic reasons, they tested and said thanks, but insufficient antibodies. Plus told him he should...

Very nice work!

Like that a lot, Adam. I assume it's olive? Certainly looks like it to me

Well. That's weird. Went into the garage and thought I'd just switch on to see if everything popped, before starting fault finding. Click, start-up tune and ready to go! Still suspicious, I've carefully vacuumed all around, checked fuses, etc and no obvious burns, wear, etc anywhere. Lathe...

Eucalyptus can blunt tools, but it does turn well, so if you aren't a turner, you might try local club(s) - they would probably take it of your hands.

That's a brilliant explanation Richard, Thank you. I really appreciate the time you've taken and I actually understood it! I will start going through the obvious bits first and work through in stages. It's not hard wired, but on the cable that looks like a D at the lathe end - like the old'...

Thanks Nick. Cheers for the link, too. Greg

I'm sure that's LV. And very nicely done, sir

Wise move, despite the new one not having any chance of lasting as long. Love the way you've "shelved it" rather than bin it, just in case?... 😁 Man after my own heart

If you dont need the pipe, saw or grind down the pipe and 'peel' it open? Possibly several cuts required

Hear, hear to the best wishes. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with your family

Jacob is quite capable of defending himself, but in the interests of fair play, fh did the first 'politicised' post.

Love the deadpan assistant 😀

I wouldn't wax - not durable enough, I reckon. But happy to be shot down

Nice work, sir. Hopefully your woolly undies will soon be made 😁

Show off!

That is georgeous, Mr P. Lovely shape and the delicate finial is perfect.

Tricky to chop on, now 😂

Interesting to see economy discussions. I do try to understand it all, but am a bit of a slow-mo, esp as maths is my weakest suit. So this is handy so far, as it doesn't feel too political, more economic theory. (Even though DW started off the thread as an discussion on addiction!). Some time...
