Well done mate, it's impressive seeing British manufacturing companies doing so well at this time. The site looks impressive and I've bookmarked it for when I need my next router bit. One piece of feedback I would give, is that it would be useful to include a simple picture of the profile cut...

If I was any good with pyro I'd try using one of those as a signature on the bottom of my bowls.

Would this do? http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-swivelling-quick-release-airline-fittings-prod21995/

Well, if you reach underneath when you're cutting something and you get all your fingers back, then it's bunt ;)

Thetiddles, just out of interest, what machines have you used that were made out of granite? That sounds really intriguing...

Ah, thanks for the heads-up.

Welcome to the forum. Some more details would help in making recommendations mate...what's your budget, how big is your workspace and what are your intentions for your workshop? You will find loads of help here, but best to provide as much info as possible.

This might sound daft, but Pledge furniture polish has been recommended to me as the cheapest option for protecting my bandsaw table. I'm told (but can't vouch for) that it has the same compounds as the more expensive waxes from Axi or Liberon. I've had a look at the ingredients, but it's all...

I've just put my 150kg bandsaw on 4 x 75mm castors from Axi on an 18mm chipboard base. My floorboards are 22mm t and g and the castors are rated at 50 kg per wheel. No issues whatsoever with spreading the load (which I was obviously concerned about as well) or any noticable dipping in the...

I've only got two :( Pete, do you want to keep some at my house?

Is it like the water going down the plug hole? When you get to the equator, does the jig turn the other way up?

Loving that (very) hollow form Jumps. I'd never heard of a weed pot, although I've obviously heard of weed/pot....glad we're not making anything to keep that in :)

I ant help you, but it's a good question as I intend to make some items for my niece. I look forward to the answer...

I meant carving rather than turning. I'm a member of a club that does both and the looks that you get if you even talk to them on t'other side! It's all in jest. Mainly. I think.

Wow, that's a hefty price. Makes me happier than ever about the tenner I paid for a lump a couple of weeks ago, from a guy who is closing down his timber trade. I made a mallet head for my mate who has just taken up carving...it's an enlarged copy of my turning mentor's mallet (he's heading...

I was taught a top tip the other day...loosen all of the tightening screws half a turn, so there is a little bit of play, them close the jaws fully, so that they are fully closed and then retighten the screws. This ensures that they are fully concentric. I'm not sure if this will assist with...

Excellent work Richard and a very enjoyable thread. It's great to see people having the get up and go and skills to do this kind of thing, well done mate.

Schultzy, I came to similar conclusion and got some ply (it matches the colour of the cabin more than mdf). Thanks to everyone for the ideas though.

Sorry to hear that Eugene, you have my sympathy mate. It's really horrible when you lose a pet. :(
