Paul, Sincere best wishes and I too hope you a full and speedy recovery. Greg

Love them. Pictures of the recipients' parents' TV, mirrors, etc later, please 😂

Maybe wait till they are back in and call them. Unless Philip Green has taken over Axi ☹️ That is the reason I always think vouchers and gift cards are like money - but not as good!

Plus one for them. I just bought a bristol lever for the lathe. Ordered 7pm on 21st. Arrived midday on 23rd. Also very helpful on the phone as I pondered correct item

Merry Christmas, all. And hopefully a happier 2021!!

Love that. Hope she does, too

I didn't know that - I'll have to try a split. Phil, you will be traumatised to hear my VERY particular mate was once asked at a cornish tea shop if he wanted butter OR cream. To which he replied, "both, clearly, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for a cream tea" The poor young server then made...

Colin, Mike, Sandyn, Thank you for your input and clear, helpful explanations. Cheers Greg

Greatest export from US? PBJ sandwich. Crunchy, obvs Sounds horrific, but peculiarly more ish 🤔

I have no axe to grind either way, just an interest in learning more. So - if plastic pipe is that dangerous, a) why is it permitted by HSE? And b) why do pretty much all wood cutting and shaping machinery manufacturers and DE machines supply them with at least some length of plastic pipe...

I'm the stereotypical sourdough dad from lockdown mk 1. My lad just back from Uni said he'd make us a meal as Christmas present - OMG! Simple cheese and pepper pasta starter Home seasoned buffalo chicken wings with stilton and soured cream dip Slow cooked jamaican oxtail with plantain 2 ways...

I think the OP is referring to mounting a suitably drilled piece of wood over the revolving tailstock, which will revolve with it, and be brought up to hold the workpiece, eg a cup chuck - certainly that is waht Theo was showing in his excellent demo on Saturday. I would think this would do...

Can you show us the bark and maybe the side grain when you split or saw that log down the middle?, (assuming that's what you're doing)

Lovely, lovely work, Linus

Wow, PB, that is stunning - beats the hell out of the Trump Hotel monstrosities! I hope the little fellas appreciate all the hard work

Nice work, and good WIP photos. You do realise that once they see what you can do, the jobs will just keep coming!
