Jet 1220 lathe

[THOMASB]

I have just ordered this lathe from Homewood Worthing for £338.
Will take 4-6 weeks, you can see a review on www.newwoodworker.com
If anyone has this lathe ,or any Jet lathe would like to read any good or bad reports.
Many Thanks Thomasb :lol: :lol: :wink: :wink:

Welome to the slope Thomas, there are few turners here with Jet lathes and I am sure they will ome on with their recommendations etc soon. It must b a good sign that you see a lot of these in use at craft fairs and demonstrations so someone thinks that they are good value. Hope to see some of your work soon. Don't think that you have to be an expert to show us as a lot of us are new at this game as well.

Morning Thomas
I'm afraid i'm the last person you want to ask about computers,i'm one one of those that is technologicaly challenged
It took me a while to get used to uploading piccys but i got help from other members,thankfully.
I used to use Freeshare but this as gone now,so i now use Photobucket,but i would use Slims tutorial for now until you get used to doing it.
If you get stuck at any stage don't be afraid to ask,there will be someone to help i'm sure.Most of us have been their.
Will look forward to seeing some of your piccys
Paul.J.

Hi PaulJ I have managed to get onto Photobucket and moved pictures to it, but unable to work out how to send them to this forum!!!!!
Can you help this "silly old fool" has my wife would say.

John,

If you open the picture in Photobucket, you will see four boxes with code to the right hand side. Highlight the code in the 'IMG Code - Forums & Bulletin Boards' box and press 'Ctrl&C'. Now go to your post in UK workshop, press 'Ctrl&V' in your post and the code will be copied.

I hope that makes sense.

 

[THOMASB]

Help how did this happen? :lol: :lol:

ModEdit
John I have sorted out the link to your picture, nice piece. DaveL

 

[Slim]

He he he.

Ok, you have pasted it twice, and you have missed the square bracket from the begining. Delete the second bit of code after [/img] and add a [ at the begining, and you should be good to go.

If you look at the last steps of the flickr tutorial where I am adding the code to UKWorkshop, it may help.

 

[santiniuk]

So close !

Just missed the opening [ on the

[/code]

Thats what you need.

Hello and welcome
