I cleared a space in my shop today and as our daughter and her family came over, so I pressed SIL into helping with the new lathe, so it is now in the shop. \:D/ I had to have a go with it and having watched Bobhams videos I tried the cup and ball toy, well Bob you have nothing to worry...

That is the one I have, seems very well made. I am going to get one of these on Sunday.

Now then looks fantastic, well done.

Thanks for the compliments, yes I love getting the big smiles when the boxes are opened, well worth buying them just for that. The best bit is its such an enjoyable process making the presents in the first place. I am pleased you introduced me to The Slope TM of the spinney thing, even if the...

Looks a good balanced purchase, one in each hand as you stagger back to the car will stop you walking round in circles. :roll: :wink: Very useful bits of kit, at a price that I would not of resisted ether. ](*,) #-o

Simon, I have a tail vice and I have wonder pups and dogs. :D They are both very useful and I think with care the pups could be used for most bench top requirements. The thing you lose is holding a board vertically, but if you have a face vice that should not be a problem.

Now to wash a car you need the rotary brush head, just using a jet will not get the car very clean. :x When I wash my car, (it needs doing) I spray the alloy wheels with a cleaning solution and then wet the car with the low pressure lance. Then fill the detergent bottle and use the rotary...

I thought the pipe kept them at bay? :whistle: :roll:
