Are you a daddy again yet Dan?

Looks good mate, just need the pro edge now!

I know, just been pricing the outrigger attachment £212 delivered 😮 The only thing I HAVE to have is an insert for my chuck, the rest can wait a bit

With help from Dan Earp I've just bought a Nova DVR lathe, just like the one he got a couple of weeks ago, in fact from the same place. Mentioned to Dan the other day how jealous I was of his recent purchase and he phoned the bloke up to find that he had another one for sale. A few hectic phonecalls later and the deals done. Hopefully I'm picking it up on a week Saturday. Again many thanks Dan, wouldn't have got it without you, but I'd be richer 😁😁
-
The deals not completed yet, just need to heck some bank accounts etc
-
After our phone conversation I may not be able to afford one screw let alone a whole set!😁😁👍
-
That great information, I'll look I to getting some. Its great the stuff you can find out on arbtalk.

Yep, they're stupidly soft screws, was a thread about it on another forum recently, you're not alone in round ing them off. Best to change them for some better quality ones, I'm going to once I can be arsed to get my old (rounded) ones out.

Yep, I remember that stage mate, lots of cock ups to come yet 😁😁

Hi dan On that natural edged bowl I wouldn't have the woodworm screw hole in the bottom of the bowl, instead I'd have put the hole in the top of the blank and then turned a chuck recess in the bottom and then mounted it in the chuck jaws.

Heal quickly Sean, hope to see you back posting soon

I had a play with a few different size drills a while back and I think I decided on 7mm. Wood type does make a difference, some requiring lighter cuts than others

Same here, I've got a supernova and I'm not too sure whats spinning?
-
Nice start Dan, how do you like the lathe?
-
I've got both and always go to the band saw first, so much more versatile

He sold his stake in the production company to the BBC in 2012
-
That would be considered good condition for the average ride on up here
-
I've got an image of you taking one into the workshop and then going back out and moving each one forward 6 foot just to keep the line looking neat and tidy. 😁😁

Looks beautiful, any more pictures?

I've got an aftermarket crank in mine (came from Greece via eBay) and it seems fine. Been in 3 years and I happily mill with it. Not sure I'd want to trust an aftermarket top end though, mine failed very quickly and I ended up biting the bullet and fitting an original stihl.
-
When do you pick yours up Dan? Will be interesting to see what that one on eBay goes for, £500 at the moment but reserve not met. As you say it looks almost new. My guess is about £1400
-
Nice one dan Only used a DVR once and was really impressed, great lathes.
-
Did you get the one that finished on eBay last night? Was a good price I thought
