Cindy Drozda used some in the construction of her 'fabulous finial box' if I remember correctly (cos she pronounced it oddly and it stuck in my mind), so its probably a good 'turner'.

On a lathe you'd have the option of, at the drive end either a chuck to hold the wood, a prong or steb drive or screw chuck (all push into the wood and 'bite'), a faceplate (multiple screws into wood) or a glue chuck. and at the tail end a live centre, basically a spike in a bearing. I would...

I believe bob is wanting to spin a box to SAND, not to gouge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGu0SLWoayY or an alternative may be if you have a belt or disc sander and rig up a jig for that instead?

I read this last night on another forum, don't know if it works but may be worth a try?

I would have thought it essential that as part of the education of using a chisel, keeping it sharp is lesson no.1. Have your students give the chisel a few swipes on the stone using a honing guide if need be at the end of each use. That way they should stay sharp, save you time and educate...

Looking good Alan :)

Mail sent Alan. Also, assuming you're using windows you can resize an image in the Paint program. http://www.wikihow.com/Resize-an-Image- ... soft-Paint

I thought you were supposed to be clearing out in order to make the move ;)

I think the point trying to be made is Don't let it wind you up. Complain to the company, Yes! Let them know your feelings, Yes! (although polite and firm usually yields better results than raving) But stressing yourself out over it for days will get you nowhere but closer to the grave. all...

C'mon Alan don't be shy, show us what you got :)

Lovely job, but maybe missed a trick with a handy 2 drawer pull out crib and changing table for the new littl'un :)

Full of character. =D>

If you end up pushing the boat out - every size and shape available here... https://www.dancovershop.com/uk.aspx

You need more info than is in the eBay advert, to see whether this would be any good for anything more than basic turning. Does it have a Morse Taper fitting, if so what size? and what size thread is on the headstock to affix a chuck to? If it has an odd size thread you will be limited to...

Cheers gents, I'll take a punt - 49p in Maplins. although not quite an exact match, the voltage is different. Would i be correct in assuming that the V figure is what the component can tolerate? i.e. if I go up in V I'll be ok? e.g. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/2200f-50v-105 ... itor-dt73q If...

BBC4 10 - 10.30 tonight. Grab it on the Iplayer thing, well worth a watch. The art of traditional sword making - quite mesmerising. And the sharpening! 8hrs a day, 6 days a week, for a minimum 2 months :shock: Though I'm sure someone will say he's doing it wrong :roll:

Long shot, but thought I'd ask anyhoo. Short version - If a capacitor is getting very hot is it likely to be that at fault or something further down the line causing it to get hot? long version- Makita site radio stopped working. Put battery in, display goes to --/- . press power button - It...

yep!

any good to you? You could swap the tie for a bow tie or add little curves for the belly and undercarriage if you like?
