I have one of these Turners Retreat Woodturning Smock Nice a comfortable, velcro type neck band, 2 large pockets in the back and suits me fine. I also have a couple of Axi jackets but they are almost worn out now.

Another bit of leylandii I thought that a leylandii maple leaf would be a bit different. Our neighbour had some light pruning done on their cherry tree. Guess who got some bits? Out with my wax saucepan and little burner time and I will have some green turning too me-thinks.

Very dry and leylandii turns well, has a lovely grain and takes a lovely finish. This is one that I had a hell of a job finding the photo , but I will keep on looking as I know I have more! I really like the wanie edge on this one. It's definately the best use that I have found for leylandii !

Stig I've been turning for about 25 years and still learning mate :rolleyes:

Before you ditch it you may want to have a look at the book elu-mhb90-belt-sander It says on the languages page that English is on P13, but it doesn't take the diagrams in to account so go to P20. I have had a Bosch belt sander for quite a few years. It isn't used very much, but when I do use...

That is a generous offer Froggy and I wish that I could take you up on it! The nearest I have been to you was a visit to Orador sur Glan. What an atmospheric place! We had a trip up there when we lived near Carcassonne, Aude. As you say, a lovely part of France. One of my commissions when we...

2s up for the solid square base. Mine is 2 X 6" top with 2 X 4" 'A' frame legs bolted to the concrete floor and cross braced across the rear legs with steel caterinary wire. It is solid and has been that way ever since. One of the beauties of the CL range is the head swing where you can turn...

Mine is a CL1 with a variable/reversible motor and it does everything I need from this tiny dolls house candle stick To this, the case for my clock and the clock So as I say, it's a goodun for me. I fitted the 3ø motor and it was really worth the doing. So if you get chance then get one...

I'll never be tired of seeing just what is hiding in what looks like not very good fitewood Phill. You have done a lovely job on your carving mate As someone said, it's not a skill I have, but I wish I did when I see things like your bird! Bits like this Hide I wish I had the patience to...

It's not what you would call a really solid name is, but I suppose it could keep you going in a sticky situation? :dunno:

Wouldn't it need to be a bit longer to tow a car with? That or a VERY large dog :oops:

The basics of it is that if your insurance company can find a way out of paying then they will, whatever they have said. Our chimney has just been swept by an approved pro and we have a certificate to prove that. Cost? just 0ver £60, or about £1.20/week or 17p/day. What price peace of mind?

That is the thread protector Hlvd and it works every time as I said above ;)

My Record CL1 has a 1MT hole and I have never in the 20 plus years I have had it had any problems getting a drive center out. It only needs the thread protector as has been mentioned rearlier. There's no need to start belting a rod down a hole. Just hold the shaft flats with a spanner and unwind...

I bit the bullet a few years back and got a OneWay CBN wheel and don't regret the cash to do it. Quick, cool cutting and it don't get smaller! I must be either very lucky or unimaginative, but I can't think of anything apart from more room ?

Depends what I'm doing? No good with your favourite hammer if you need to sand something init :dunno: And a lathe won't measure a 10' bit of wood? My favourite it the right tool for the right job.

Clock inserts? This was one of mine Oak from an old oak TV cabinet I was given and the insert from Axminster Tea lights come in their own aluminium cup.

I am with you JSW in that the only I take the tension of of my saw is to change the blade. And I have always used a 1/4" 6 skip for the 30 years I have had my Startrite 301S. I also use Tufsaw's M40 blade, at least I think it's that one? I also have a couple of Axy blades as backup.

Oh? And the wine bottle thingies And something to put your nuts i as well Handy for you to have yer nuts within easy reach :rolleyes:

Coasters? These are some I made for commissions, but they look just as good without the ne=ames, or you can pyrograph them at the fair for the punters. I like doing the pyrography and the punter feels they have something special.
