I recon immigration may have somthing to say about it. maybe you could fill us in on the ins and outs of anal probing then Robrainford? or not (ideally the latter:P) Ben

i thought it might be somthing like that, cheers ian! I may see you at jonsies show! whats anyones thoughts on using firewood (ie the stuff for stoves) for woodturning? it gives me a pretty good supply for not much money so i quite like it, just wondered where e veryone else gets their stock from? Ben

I was hoping to be going, but the chances of me getting paid this week are slim to none : slightly gutted, never been to an arb show before Ben

Ill bear that in mind Ian! and add it to my birthday list my latest creation: scots pine (i think) finished with beeswax any ideas on how to stop the wood grain fluffing? it only does it in a few places even though i do the same to all of the piece, no amount of sanding seems to stop it? probably one of those things.... Ben

I wrote my dissertation around his theories there, well i referenced his work more than once! very interesting to watch Ben

Ive got a winch on my series 3 at the moment, 12,000lb jobby. pretty quick pull on it aswell. Ive not put it to use in the arb area yet but i recon it could be very usefull!! Ben

I had a dream last night where Fred Dibnah was running after me on the scuttling legs of a crab. in a tophat. I escaped in what in retrospect, I think was a steam powered volvo 240. When I got in, it was a 240. But then, after that it was a steam engine. Now Im not sure how the mechanicals would work, but in my dream that wasnt real, it seemed an effective method of perambulation. Especially when escaping Victorian obsessed Crab/Men. Ben

Hey peeps ive come by a husky 16h hedgecutter that needs a new piston ring, just wondered if anyone had one kicking about, ive asked at the local garden machinery spares place and he ordered one for me last summer... and its still not come so ive given up. Ben
-
ahh thats ok then, its mainly when using scrapers that things get a bit toasty! Ben
-
just made these last night for somthingt to do. a tea spoon holder for the kitchen and a little goblet, though not hollowed out yet... ive been doing the hollowing with the roughing gouge and spearpoint as money doenst permit for anything else! how hot do the shavings normally get? Ben

ooof you beat me to the "want a lift" thread! Ben
-
NIcely done pal, jealous as a you know what here!! im with an agency at the moment and im getting maybe 1 day a week and thats if im lucky. Ben
-
and the lid a few hours later! only took 20-30 mins! For a starter lather i recon that could be good, saves spending alot of money to find you havnt time or skill (no offence intended i duno if youve done it!) Ben
-
Just made a little bowl to see if i could! thats about as deep as i can go with out a boring/bowl tool. also tried a recipe for some sanding sealer that i found on the tinternet. seems to work ok! Ben
-
Heres one from last week i took, looks the same as armchair arborist, but i asure its about 60 miles away from that shot!
-
Ive heard that from a few people, id like to get one at some point. But money as usual, says no! Just going to carryo n with what ive got now. Hopefully il lget a 4 jaw chuck for my birthday, ideally a masterchuck or a nova II :001_rolleyes: Ben
-
Looks nice Ian, looks like an ideal size for me with the things im making! after ive cleared a bit of the over draft (and got a job!) i may invest in something like that! Ben
-
ive just had a look at the mini jet, it looks pretty smart, when the clarke lathe broke last month i tried to get my money back to put towards an axminster "somthing" but clarke kicked up a stink and repaired it for me! the tool rest was an incredibly poor casting lots of bubbles, lumps of slag etc. and the lathe bed flexes when any load is put on it. It was good for me to learn on, and to make sure i had the knack and ideas for it (Which i tihnk ive prooved i ahve!) just want somthing a bit fancier now! Ben
-
haha no worries squire! didnt mean that to come across as bitchy! Ben
-
well id like to say i made the mouse on the mushroom, but i didnt. i got that for mum on mothers day. as for the purple dinosaur, mum made that in pottery class last year, i like it! artistic licence at its best, except it works!! I have similar thoughts, im hoping to be upgrading my lathe at some point this year, the fact it has no morse tapers and no tailstock chuck is infuriating. Im looking at an axminster lathe/ i do have a mini set of ashley iles chisels and i like em, id love a larger set of them but at the moment money is a real problem! Ben
-
ONe that i did for a friends birthday again, the other half of the bit of wood i used for my sisters birthday haha probably my best one yet, as a side line, but still related. what would be a good set of tools/chisels to get? obviously a set of rober sorby or ashley iles, unfortuantly at the momeny money doesnt permit, is the record stuff any good? Ben
