Turned into a really interesting thread.... we wandered a bit off the topic ( Sorry Paul ! :wink: 8) ) but there's alot of great info there regarding the photography part... and I think its excellent to hear about a bit of people's history too... as per Hans / Chas there /... a wonderful...

I guess it depends on which tool you are using at the time, and what type of cut you're taking with that tool, Graham ... Its quite variable, depending on the tool, the type of cut and indeed on the style and technique of the turner, as to where the toolrest sits, relative to centre. I.e...

Plenty of choice Mike ... Not 'too certain' about Pirtek & Ally, Rich... ok on ASTM A269 Seamless Stainless Instrument / hydraulic type tube, but Aluminium is a bit of a different barrel of monkeys, but you never know :wink: Let us know how it goes :lol: :lol: 8)

Brilliant Steve, thanks again ... Its an i-pod classic, so hopefully should work ! Will get to trying that out shortly Thanks again all. :lol: 8)

What a 'truism' that certainly is :lol: between turning, fishing, fly-tying, motorbike, guitars/mandolins/whistles, kids, house, work, dog, 'chums', etc etc.. I think we should ask for a day to be extended to about 40 hours each ! And if what I hear some retired fellas say is true ( and I...

Cracking 'old shot' of the house there, Chas ! .... great to keep bits of history like that, thats excellent ! Just how high up that tree were you ? looks 'scarily high' !!! :D :D :D I really got 'into' the B&W thing in my early 20's ... managed to 'inveegle' my pal into it at...

Looking good ! Would you see a need to perhaps plate those gussets in the angle-iron ? Maybe help to really solidify that tool-rest 8) Looks a good work-around though.. remember to let us see the 'goods' once you've turned the tabletop :D :D :D

really ? good grief, thats incredible ! Especially when you think about guys in fighter aircraft pulling about 7 or 8 G's and requiring inflating G-Suits to counteract the effect on the body... those are some scary figures ! But right enough.. if i think about the little 4-test-tube...

Wow ! :shock: a very graphic and very good illustration of the merits of the mask. Nice one Chas... never hurts to bang that message home, and that just proves the point very conclusively :)

Thanks :lol: I'll have a try at that :D .... I'm not much 'cope' on a computer, but will see if I can puzzle that out, and get somewhere ... I've just mastered how to copy and paste ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Much appreciated.. will give it a go 8)

AH ! I did suspect that digitals may be a slightly different ball game ! :lol: I'm stuck somewhere back in the early 80's !! really must try and get into 'technology' a bit more... I have a digitial camera, but its permanently stuck on 'auto' .... :oops: I should definately try...

Hi.. forgive my probable stupidity on this one ... I-pods, ok .... When the i-pod is hooked up to the computer, and I have i-tunes up and running... Is it possible to take tracks FROM the i-pod , BACK into the library thats lives on the computer.. ? I've tried looking at all the 'options'...

Ha ha ha .... nice one Roger ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's an awful lot to be said for doing just that, Tom 8) :lol: One man's meat being another man's poison, n'all.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Not too sure if 'digitals' suffer the same phenomenon, but certainly with 'film' the light has a dramatic effect -- light has a "colour temperature" ... tungsten filament bulbs will always generate a light that is very 'orangey', and fluorescent tube lighting always generates a light that is...

My father sent me this .... I like the thinking ! :lol: :lol: :lol: It is August in a small town on the south coast of France. The holiday season is at its height but it is raining so there is not much business happening and everyone is heavily in debt. Luckily, a rich Russian...
