You have a lathe. Make handles that suit you, it's what it's for.

Mine's still fixed til 17/10.

Interesting. I could use spacer blocks and Winbags. Just a thought.

I said the same about my toes, I wanted to put them in a bottle of vodka or something. The same no.

Keep an eye on FB Marketplace, Gumtree etc. if you're not in a hurry. I sold a Woodstar BS12 with new bearings, a spare belt and ten blades for £100 because I desperately needed the space for a Record RSBS14 that I bought for £75, spares or repair. I replaced the wheel bearings, guide...

We had a couple of firms here doing the rounds of insulating the roofs of pensioners, people on benefits etc. free. I had had mine done as it was deemed sub standard - it 6"- 8". I found it rather sad that instead of rolling the new stuff over it to bump up the depth, they stripped everything...

Run by incompetents? Mine said I could jump from a D to a C by changing to low energy lightbulbs - there was one lamp in the whole place that wasn't low energy. He managed to miss 20 square yards of single sblock wall that should have cavity by regs. when built, though. He did make some...
