I have heard of skewchigouges and wondered what they were? That looks like a goodie. I may well finish up with a couple of those? A few years back I got a couple of HSS 3/8" bars. One is now a skew gouge and the other a 3 point. The ferrules I used were French copper pipe. It's VERY hard and...

A big welcome from me too Pryere. You have learned by now just what a slippery slope this turning lark is. I've only been turning for about 23 years and still learning lots. Not buying so much now though :mrgreen:

Axy's number 0800 371822 If you ask for the tech guys they are very helpful. Good luck.

Keep your superglue in the fridge, it lasts much longer. But don't let your PVA glue drop down to or near freezing point and keep it in the house in the winter if your workshop isn't heated. The same with epoxy resin or if it does get too cold it will go almost solid. If it does then put the...

Hi Harriet, you may well find that the DML 24 is basically the same as the 36, the bed bar length. This is for the 36 with a swivel head, hence the SH notation. http://www.free-instruction-manuals.com ... 142910.pdf Looking at the post before your's it is the same. I used to have a 24 and...

One of the problems you may have is to find a motor with an imperial size shaft? I changed by blue CL1 motor about 10 or so years back and I fitted a 3ø jobbie. I haven't looked back. I got my kit from this lot and they were very helpful and took a while though to find an Imperial sized motor...

A few years back I had the 'hardened' epoxy problem when I had left t in my unheated workshop one winter night. I contacted the makers tech line and was told that a few minutes in a pan of boiling water would bring it back to normal with no adverse effects. Since then I have had to do it a...

You youngsters just can't keep up :lol: :lol: Just wait till you get to my age, not too long, just another year :roll:

I, in my yoof was an aircraft electrician in the R.A.F. for 14 years. I loved working on the big transports at Lyneham, Britannias, Comet 2s and 4cs. Then after suffering 2 1/2 years in Singapore, hell but someone had to do it, I was working on VC10s and Shorts Belfasts at Brize Norton. I have...

As for the RC gliders. This is one of my favourites. A scale model of a Minimoa, 1932 German glider. Mine is just 10' wing span and looks lovely in the air with that gull wing arrangement. Flies well too https://flic.kr/p/2aqA4EE https://flic.kr/p/297KHva It's something I really doing missed...

That is really strange AE. My son and daughter-in-law are in the air on their way to Geneva and onto Bern. That's to visit my son's stepson in hospital! He is one of these people who fly, or try to fly, pillow-cases, paragliders to most people,. He managed to crash the thing from 450m and broke...

AE, we had to renew our passports when we were French residents. The service was good, but then, when you are paying almost double the cost you would if you are a U.K. resident then it bleeedin well should be! I am just wondering if I will have to trade in my French driving licence now? It is...

My biggest problem is that I am only getting older from the neck down. from there up I am still about 16 :shock: :shock:

I'm surprised that you can't get an app for doing putty, but I suppose it would make your smartass phone a bit sticky :?

My putty knife has an edge on it that you could carve meat with, along with a lovely flexible blade. It's in a box somewhere and I CAN'T FIND IT :oops: :oops: It too makes a really good filler knife. I have to do a fair bit of fikker (fikker? Wot's that) filler in our new home so I have had...

Mike, the besic difference between your planes and chisels and turning tools is that in 5 minutes using your plane you may well cut a couple of dozen foot of wood. With turning you will do that in a few seconds mate :mrgreen:

We are now in our new to us bungalow. Due to the wonderful safety law the wet room and second loo have both got ceiling mounted pull switches that almost need a bell ringer to operate. They also sound like a bell ringer is doing his best but instead of the ring there's a very loud CLICK! My...

I am not trying to be alkward Robin, but could you put that in laymans language please as I honestly do not know a lot of the building terms? Or if possible could you point me at a good web page that explains them?

It makes no difference to us who smell of rose water 8) 8)

It has also been my 1st port Geoff. When the roofer did come and have a gander that was exactly what I pointed out to him. The top of the GRP is slightly wrinkled and he could see that. The top of the parapet is done with flat overhanging Bradstone slabs to match the rest of the bungalow and...
