Dant help with the job I'm afraid Mat but welcome to the forum. I didm;t know anyone still made stuff like that. :)

I would have to disagree, its knocked out about 95% of the cr@p calls I was getting. Still get the very occasional one insisting my computer runs on windows though :)

I don't think I was dissing Dewalt, I have the 625 and it performs very well. It is just that it feels like a carthorse compared to a filly. Though it is a good deal bigger of course :)

Mind you, you wouldn't have to get many small bowl or spindle blanks out of it to make it worth £50. To far for me though.

Bob, not sure what bowlsk's are :) but they sure look good. And if Dalboy's pics are of blackthorn I shall have to add that to my 'wanttofind' list. Looks nice.

Kim, That goblet is sooo thin, how tall is it ?

As you say, the pro edge is open and is only for sharpening. I was referring to the sparks seeming to go down into the shavings that had accumulated on the floor. I am not sure if they were still hot when they got there ( I kept as close an eye as I could for a while :) )

Looking forward to the build, and a report on the combination machine.

I was waiting till I get a little elder before I try alder. Or should that be get a little alder before I try elder ?

I can't fall to bits, the brick is stopping it. :)

I did wonder about that. I have positioned my pro edge right next to the lathe on the basis that if it was quick and easy to get at I would use it more often. That did mean that the sparks were going into the surrounding shavings [-X

Or you could come in with my level of experience and ...... Eeny, meeny, miney mo I think I will give this a go. [-o< ( I'm in a silly mood tonight.) Seriously though, I have been buying a few blanks all labeled so I can use them as reverence points to help me recognise them.

That all sounds very efficient. I admire that.

Slurp Slurp Are you labelling all these Bob or relying on basic knowledge to remember which is which ?

When you buy ready prepared blanks ( and I have done so from more than one place ) they are WAX covered. I'm guessing they do that rather than PVA/paint/whatever for a reason, be it effectiveness, simplicity or a mixture of both.

Thanks Stu.

Hi Stu I was thinking of about 6ft x 2 ft ( say 1800 x 600 ) for a bench I am going to build but could be flexible :)

No hurry to produce anything Taz, apart from an egg before the end of the month :) I intend to just practice with each tool till it does what it should.... but still need a way of knowing when a chisel is sharp enough. Some of the tube vids show the chisel cutting when the wood is being turned...

By the way . Welcome to the forum :)

I seem to remember reading that the coronet is the for runner of the Record Power CL series? If so, maybe you can get bed bars there.
