The line up seems to be fine - I would know in a minute if the points weren't lining up, and I can drill perfectly well down the grain. To be honest, I'm using a 10mm metal drill at the moment, but have gone through every type of bit. I've got one of those MAD drills on order - like a...

'Fraid that's not it. Everything's 'kissing' beautifully.

It would help if I could keep the drill straight when drilling through timber mounted across the grain. Is there any way I can improve on this? It's completely useless to me. I'm using a 10mm bit in a Jacobs chuck mounted in the tailstock.

This made me laugh. I have a spot like that on my Record Power VS and husband always tells me 'it's dust on your potentiometer'. Maybe he's not as dumb as I think he is :)

Hah - You are right!

This is interesting, but I sweep the floor less in the winter. Standing on a good layer of shavings helps. I tried running an oil-filled rad. but our energy supplier thought that might be why our bills had gone through the roof.

Robin mentioned he might be taking some to the Harrogate show. I'm told it cracks readily and is expensive, so I might pass on it.

OMG! Massive dust extraction then :shock:

I'll try that Kym.

I do agree on this point, and actually find the second wheel can leave light deposits on dark wood.

I use it quite a lot when making hand-spinning tools. It's hard enough to get in a good raspberry pink, but I certainly never saw it quite that red before. Lovely.

Fingers crossed!

I use Pink Ivory all the time but have never seen that.

I have this one too and I agree, it's efficient but a bit noisy.

Inspiring. Thanks for showing us this.

Yes, your hooked alright!

Very well done - I think we all dread moments like that.

I use the Chestnut system - only one I've used so can't really compare. Frequently, I get to wheel B and find I missed a bit, so have to rever to wheel A, so the all on one bar system would be usefulo, but otherwise I couldn't be without it. I must say, the Beal domed wheels look a better...

I've tried sanding it a few times - must have another go.

I love this. But I don't know which piece to look at first - they compete with each other for me. It's like a pretty girl with an over-fussy hairstyle. Both are lovely, but they possible take away from each other because they're both so good. For me, anyroadup.
