I have added the > 40 hours for you.

Gill, I have downloaded them. I will be trying to cut a few, with the help of the advice you posted a little while ago, I hope this time I am more successful. :whistle:

I bought one in Maplin for my band saw, so they do have them. 8)

Very nice, I have a large lump of Wadkin cast iron in the shape of a table saw, your lathe looks to be very heavy and should give years of service, well done.

Stop listening to the voices Tom, you know it makes sense. :roll: :wink:

Best let A&E know before you start a Tom. :roll: :wink:

The other way to remove them is burn them out. If they are fairly dry its not that hard to do, but not if they are close to the house, shed, fence, etc. My brother in law took out a big conifer stump, lit a fire on top of it and just kept it burning by adding small bits to it every few hours...

I have a cheap set of those, came in a small wooden box, give very smooth counter sinks. :D Not tried them on metal as I am not sure how hard they are, but good quality ones should work on metal OK.

I am going to drop out of this. Lot of things have diverted my attention and time has caught up with me, I lost most of the last weekend so I have run out of time, sorry to let you all down. I will at some point be making the door, I hope the current one lasts the winter or the shop could be...

The care is in not cutting your fingers as much as keeping the angles and number of strokes the same on each blade. I would suggest you look at this thread, Steve has made a honing jig, I have seen it in use and...

I agree that buy a second hand machine is a good route to go. The motors on this sort of machine are quite easy to replace, so if you find a nice 3 phase machine close to home, consider replacing the motor.

Hi mtr1, Welcome to the forum. :D Your picture has been caught by our spam trap, this will stop once you have a few more posts to your name, here it is:

Hi Joe, The chuck will just fit on the taper, the friction from the fit of the tapered shaft into the tapered socket is all that holds it in place. I know it sounds a bit odd but that is the way most of then are done. So you need to wind the jaws back into the chuck, clean both parts, use meths...

Good luck with the op Ray, we will wave the usual request for work in progress pictures on this one. :D

Yes very nice mallet, something else to put on the buy on sight list. :oops: You need to click on View more Emoticons..... =D>

Hi Woolly, Welcome to the forum. :D And if you use the img tags the pictures will display in the post, like this:

I remember Good Timber having some last time I was there, a year or two ago. No prices on line, might be worth ringing them?

Ed, Had a great time last year so I am in again. \:D/
