I will be along, I will have the camera so be warned, because as we all know without pictures it didn't happen. :twisted: :roll: :wink:

Chaps, Could one of you please post a few pictures of the blanks, before and after turning? I have not seen any pens made from this type of blank and would love to see how they turn out. 8)

Roger, I have a cheap scroll saw that came from Screwfix and that has two sets of mounting points on it for pin end blades. I used it to cut curves on 3/4" iroko when I made garden chairs, of course a little while later I bought a band saw. :roll:

You had a mixture of TAGS but not quite the right ones for the picture to be displayed, if you click on the edit button on your post, you can see what I changed it to. There is more help on picture posting here.

Take a look here for some help on posting pictures.

Dave, That is a very useful looking table, good use of pocket hole screws. I used them for the cabinet my band saw is mounted on, they give a surprisingly strong structure.

Tom, You should have a great time with Richard, I bet you drive past the entrance to the workshop yard. :roll: :wink:

Another source of new wheels for the Tormek is Peter Child, they don't do a diamond one but have some hard ones for turning tools.

Jimi, Well done on rescuing that great old machine. You cannot beat a good lump of cast iron for making a machine stable. 8)

Well I would have taken the bowl gouge but its gone, the skew is interesting but I am looking for an 1 1/4" with the rounded top and bottom. I used Richards on my day with him and found it very good, that one is just not big enough. :roll:

Well that looks like good progress, I hope you get a good day tomorrow.

Hee, man you need a shop cat, the mice just stay out as they can smell the cat. 8)

So looking at this picture So you have both bits shown? Have you mounted the grinder and the jig on a solid base board, eg 1/2" ply or MDF, thicker is better, there must be no slop on any of the fixings and does the guide slide smoothly on the rest? I don't have this jig but I would wax the...

Hi Fobos, It sounds to me like you could be swinging the chisel across the wheel, in an arc, you need to move in from side to side in a straight line.

Brendan, I think this is a new line, I have not seen it. The one I have is a stainless drum and the older one was plastic but not as rounded on the top.

They have never had one, if you do a search on the forum you should be able to find a phone number. They did stop selling band saw blades for a time, but IIRC they have been doing so again. I have never used them.

Nice find Colin, as you say good toy.

So you have a long length of flexible pipe which concertinaed back to its shortest length! :twisted: My recommendation would be to use a rigid pipe, I have used soil pipe in my system, two reasons, it does not move and the resistance to the air flow is less, hence amount of dust that can be...

I fell foul of this when trying to bid on some carbide tips for a replaceable tip router cutter, never got the bid in. :(

I have a Jet, the LOML bought it for my Christmas present a few years ago. :D Back then there was a bigger price difference than today, it came with a few more bits as standard as well, I am not sure the current deal is as good. I have the knife jigs, one from Jet, one form Tormek not a lot of...
