Hi, Welcome to the forum. :D If you have any kippers I'll eat some for breakfast. :wink: As the other members have said your picture has been caught by our spam tram, here it is: A bit more info would be useful, overall size, solid or in two as shown and what sort of wood or could it be...

Best change the names to protect the guilty. :whistle:

We have some of those, my grandson thinks their great. :D

If it is the keyboard connection, does the mother board support USB keyboards? A USB keyboard will be much cheaper than a new mother board.

They look good and once either end of the mantle piece no one will notice the very slight differences. :)

Another thing to check if the machine is a year or two old, dust and fluff build up. I try and open our machines every year and carefully vacuum the insides. (A small paint brush is useful tool to aid this.) I had a machine where the fins on the processor heat sink had filled up with dust, it...

I did say most, I know DC motors are used on some, like yours, I don't think they are as common, so you have a high class drive. :wink:

Oh dear, no brownie points there. :oops: You need to look at the techniques used by the Egyptians for moving heavy things, rollers under the headstock, best on it side to keep the centre of gravity low. With a couple of bits of ply you can even cut across the lawn. Steps are a problem but some...

Hmm think you need to lay down in a dark room for a little while, hopefully the men in white coats are busy and wont call for you tonight. :shock: This does not sound like a good idea. I think with care you could make a cradle that slides along the top, which has curved runners the you could...

Well I would buy tickets to try and win it, nice work.

Now that is a useful tool, well done in bringing it back to life. 8)

Will I think this has gone far enough, lets all clam down, and then go make some saw dust. Move along nothing to see here.

Now that is very nice, I love elm, I would guess your stock came from the same source. 8)

The kit went together with no problems, the instructions are very clear and unlike the slim lines there is no worry about how far you press the mechanism in. I found the wenge did need nice sharp tools, it turns very much like padouk, This one is not quite perfect, but as it was my first try I...

I had a couple of elm blanks, I have already posted one that I turned, here is the second one. I wanted a bowl with a lid, so having turned the bowl I left the mounting spigot on and looked for a suitable piece to turn a lid from. I have a supply of holly so that is what I used. I did not take...

Having seen the kits some of you have made I ventured to try something different, so I bought some kits from Timberbits, via ebay, here are the 2 I have made up. I am using the Wenge one. I know now that it is on the red list, but I had already bought several dozen pen blanks, so I will be...

Unfortunately the way to do this is not cheap. I guess that you have a single phase induction motor on the lathe, most are. These motors synchronise to the frequency of the supply, the number of poles in the motor are a factor, the more poles the slower it goes, but you cannot change the number...

Looks good John, you have greased The Slope TM for the newbie. :lol:

I have worn out one bread maker and am on the second pan for the current one. I love a good malted grain flour, just bought a new bag of oak smoked flour. 8) How can I go wrong bread with an oak connection. :lol:

I don't have any wellies, its clogs all year round. :roll:
