can they not be hinged? can you get hold of some cedar? it's that bit lighter so could be easier to move?

i'd say a bit thicker than 1/4", nearer 3/8" or 1/2" is what i'd do.

yeah ok, i'll take it. what do you want for it? got loads of timber to swap it for if you are interested. when can you bring it round?

which one?

already on my favorites... these are good sites too. https://www.vandenberghardhout.com/en/hardwood-types/ http://www.tropicaltimber.info/?s&advanced_search=1&weight&hardness&moisture&durability&availability&strength&end_uses&color

the pins i might be able to but the balls are 100% bespoke. i don't want this equipment kicking around for months as i don't have the space.

it seems like i'll be going down this route.

the customer is now not answering my emails... i can see this going to court.

thank you... if we are sticking to balls then about 12" with my jig or 17" freehand.

yep, that's the one.

over the bed i can turn 20", over the bed extension (when in lowered position) about 39" but if i turn with the bed extension removed then i can go down to the floor so as the spindle height is nearly 45" something 90" should be just about doable.

i don't think it is a walnut species. it looks very similar to some albizia species i've seen and even one of the thousands of acacia species there are but it also looks like some very low grade dalbergia genus (rosewood) species that come from south east asia. this is what i think it is.

i had a collection on ebay lined up but i've been let down. it's two oak beams 4' long by 16" wide by 6" thick. if anyone is going from swindon (j15) and passing slough(j7) then i'd happily give you some money for your trouble. if no one can help then i'll have to cancel the purchase. if anyone can help then please get in touch. thanks in advance.

looks like field maple, far too good for firewood in my opinion but it's already been cut up.

any of the wood left??? i've never got hold of any yet.

it would work but one of the sets is lignum vitae and this is not being imported anymore so i am keen to keep them at the size they are now as you can't put it back once you remove it. if they don't pay up then i won't lose money because of this it's just that it would be simpler if the customer just paid for them and then i can forget about it...

i could be interested mick. i was looking to make some trophies at some point and i think marble could be incorporated into the design. you got any sizes/thicknesses and what do you want for it?

i like your thinking mark but i'm only 6'3". having spoken to a mate and obviously reading some of these helpful posts i'm going to bide my time on this one. i have the pins and balls and it is possible that the balls would be the only sicking point when it comes to resale as they are a bit more specific to this customer. the pins are a more standard size so i should be able to sell them on if nothing comes of this. he is going to ask his captains if they mind taking the pins one week in to the league so i'll wait for that info first.

that's the sort of thing i'd love to have a go at. never done one but i'm happy to have a go. got loads of different species too, quite a few native species like laburnum, judas, cherry laurel, robinia, plum, burr ash, catalpa, walnut, hornbeam field maple, sumach and probably a few others i can't think of at the moment. got a fair few exotics too, rosewoods, mahoganies, purpleheart, zebrano, pau amarello, padauk, ziricote, angelim vermelho, ipe, ebony, greenheart, cumaru, jarrah, afrormosia, makore, opepe, iroko and movingui...

well this is what the act says forms the contract. How is the contract made? The essential element in forming a contract is the agreement (consisting of an offer and acceptance). At least two parties are required (such as the trader and the consumer). One of them (the offeror) makes an offer, which the other (the offeree) accepts. An offer is an expression of willingness to contract made with the intention that it shall become binding on the offeror as soon as it is accepted by the offeree. When a trader displays or advertises goods (for example, by displaying them on a shelf in a shop alongside a price ticket) it is usually giving consumers what is referred to as an 'invitation to treat'. The consumer can then make an offer to buy the goods. At this point the trader is under no obligation to accept the offer - a contract is made if and when the trader accepts. Sometimes, the process works the other way round - that is, the trader makes an offer to the consumer and a contract is made when the consumer accepts the offer. Under the contract, the consumer will agree to pay the trader a sum of money and/or do something else in return for the goods the trader supplies. This commitment is known as the 'consideration' in the contract. If there is no consideration (that is, if a trader offers to supply goods completely free of any charge or other obligation) there is no contract at all. what i meant was no seperate contract needs to be drawn up. the contract is the email requesting the order and my acceptance in a reply. at least that's how i understand it although i'm probably wrong which is why i started this thread in the first place. in his email (his part of the contract) he does not mention that it need be done by a deadline

from what i understand the contract is the email giving the order of requested items and my reply with the acceptance of the order. no written and signed document needs to be drawn up. there is no mention of a deadline or date on the email he sent me requesting his order, it just says a set of 9 pins (to include a kingpin) and 6 balls in two different sizes...

hi all, i make custom turned skittles and balls for a living and have just had a customer say that they no longer want them. i'll be honest and say the the "consumer rights act 2015" which replaced the "sale of goods act 1979" goes over my head a bit. my understanding of it says that they do not have the right to cancel the order as it is custom made for them https://www.businesscompanion.info/en/quick-guides/distance-sales/consumer-contracts-distance-sales#Righttocancel however, there is another bit saying that there is a right to cancel as a deadline had been missed. https://www.businesscompanion.info/en/quick-guides/goods/the-sale-and-supply-of-goods#Thecontract i should point out that i thought the deadline was 29th and i contacted him on the 22nd requesting he pay and collect and heard nothing till i contacted him again last night. in no email traded between us can i find mention of a deadline date. he made no effort to contact me to say that the deadline was looming and where were his pins. any ideas as to who is in the right here??? any help would be appreciated as it's alot of money to me (over £600) and i can't sell the items to another customer as they are custom made to his specifics...

reading the title i had the image of this old wine barrel:thumbup:

i sand the wood smooth but it's just danish buffed.

got to be a sorbus... just flicked through my book and there is one called a himalayan whitebeam that looked very similar with regards to leaf shape.
