Sometimes, the world has ways of making you ashamed to be part of it. :( Very sad and disturbing story. Difficult to comprehend what has gone so drastically wrong in the mind of such an individual, and very, very , very difficult to find any sort of sympathy for what will no doubt be...

I suggest you BIN IT :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice one, Doug ! You have every right to be well chuffed with that ! It looks great ! 8) 8)

Some great pics there Tom ... The John Jordan stuff is indeed very 'recognisable'. At the risk of being shot down as a 'phillistine' , I'm not that keen on his stuff... its brilliantly executed, no doubt, but it doesn't butter my parsnips in the way some other stuff does. I think its perhaps...

:lol: :lol: :lol: heh heh, great ! looks like a little cracker, Gill :D :D

Hi Again, Mike .... Spoken at length with my contact up North ... He advises that Aluminium bending is a fair bit different from steel, copper etc, in as much as because of the metallurgy of the material, it tends to need the entire cross-section to be supported inside and out, as opposed to...

Duncan, these are absolutely gorgeous 8) 8) 8) Impossible to pick a favourite, every one of them is simply superb. The pyrographed piece looks incredibly complex ... how did you go about planning it out ? was it drawn out first ? .. its stunning. I really like the shape of the spalted...

Seen that one a few times now, Tom :D ... its 'interesting' from a commercial-operation volume-production run mill perspective, but I think the bowls are 'soul-less', if that makes sense. All the same curve / profile .... no 'hand-made' appeal with them, just hemi-spheres of wood that...

Martensitic stainless steels are not as corrosion-resistant as the other two classes (The Ferritic & Austenitic Grades ) but are extremely strong and tough, as well as being highly machineable, and can be hardened by heat treatment. Martensitic stainless steel contains chromium (12-14%)...

TM, Could be because the Montego wasn't a ford :shock: The Montego was a British leyland model ( Austin ). Tried Flea-bay ? failing that.. there's sure to be an 'owners club' ... track them down, and you'll get the part, almost guaranteed 8) Any of these ...

Only done two bits Paul ... small, slightly spalted pieces, and I found also, very 'light' .. and they were slightly punky in areas ... I've photo's somewhere.. will try and look them out for you. Agree on the ease of 'tearout' observation too ... these two were a bit tricky to get any kind of...

Whaaaay-Haayyyy ! 8) 8) 8) Who's a happy bunny then ! ?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Fantastic Paul... well done Sir ! And nice turnings too ... like you've never been 'away' ! :lol: :lol: Chuffed to bits for you ! Thats great news :D :D :D

Hi Alie ... by the sounds, the problem is at the headstock end, so even the 'kiss test' may not solve too much... Without trawling back over everything .. what are you 'chucking' with ? Is it just a screwed faceplate ? is it a faceplate that mounts in the chuck jaws ? ... It sounds very...

Great Pip ... you will love it :wink: :lol:

Lovely Stuff John ... and only the 10th or so ? ... that seems like a great success in quality... you've 'nailed it' with those ! If I had to choose a winner, and they're all great.. I like the Spalted Cherry, simply because its 'wood' over the other materials. Great job ! 8) :lol: 8)

Its another absolute 'blinder' .... beautiful work, and as George so rightly says, an 'Instantly recognisable Mark Sanger' stunning piece of work. For me, you're up there at the very top of the tree. This, and every other one you've posted, are jaw-droppingly awesome, and that doesn't...

Hiya LW, nice boxes .... Realy like the Yew, its great ! What Duncan says about Camvac / Microclene is spot on for a 'reasonable cost' solution. I have only got to the Camvac stage so far ... And its a great wee machine. Next stage is the Microclene bit... My Cammy was , IIRC about £130...

I know diddly-squat about computers, but FWIW, My 'service' is provided by AOL, ( awful people ! :wink: ) and I use Googlemail for e-mail now, and have done for about 18 months .. cant fault it, and its 'accessible' from everywhere... and there's no 'limits' on the amount of data like...

On the 'custom motorbike' front ... company called ZORSTEC would be worth a shot ... details : 01274 587004 | mob: 07870 406482 ( they do 'custom' exhausts .. best in the business in the UK they are, too. I'm just about to do a bit more on this now Mike ... Got a phonecall to make...

Bug*er ! Ok, back to drawing board for an hour or two ... I will find some more options in the 'archives' etc .. May take me 'overnight' to come up with that, but will have a go at it. The answer will 'be' somewhere ... just a matter of finding it ! :wink: Leave it with me some more...
