who cares for diplomacy, say what you think is good in my book. perhaps i should say that it's my muscular shoulders and chest rather than a load of fat stopping me wearing it... i bought it thinking that 3xl would be plenty for a guy my size but those stupid in house sizes that bear no relation to any other shop at all is the cause of the problem here. i am a 46" round the chest and can just zip it up but i look daft, i reckon if anyone is a 42" then it would be perfect. -
hi all, i have a leather jacket that i bought off of ebay thinking that it would be big enough for me as it's labeled as 3XL but sadly is still too tight. regrettably i must get rid of it but thought i'd ask on here if anyone would like it. i'll get some pics up soon. it's a bomber jacket, dark brown... would like £50

annoyingly the toughness is what i would like as it's for the skittles which get quite a beating most nights... i had thought that it was possibly the heat that broke down some of the lignin between the cells???

nice effort mate. if it has the pith going through it then the chances are it will split but at least you get to have another go if that happens... i've lots of good quality beech and sycamore if you want to make another.
-
none taken mate i'm just kidding... if ever i get called ginger these days in true malice i think of this song. [ame] [/ame]

i've just be cutting up the last of my sycamore slabs for my skittles that i bought 4 years ago. they had already been sitting around for another 4 years so are at least 8 years dry. as a user of both i have noticed that the quality of the air dried is better than the quality of any kiln dried timber i've ever used. species i include in this comparison are oak, beech, elm and sycamore. i should point out that i am referring more to the eventual hardness of the timber over colour or grain quality. whenever i use sycamore or beech for my skittles the kiln dried material is always nice and clean as you would expect from a lumber yard but a bit softer than the air dried timber i get cut for me by other arbtalkers. my question is, is there something that kilning does to the wood or have i just been lucky with my air dried timber i've bought over the last few years?

to true eggs, only 6'3" but i'm 240lbs+ so don't get on the wrong side of me. neither the hair or tattoos put my former employer off, it was my galloping gob instead... i speak (or type) before i think...

i've had mine for 15 years and i was still employed. only two i know, one is death with his scythe and the other is a vampire skull bursting out from my skin. there should be no reason for people in our sort of trades to be told you can't work here because of the paint on your skin. for me that is the same as looking at the colour of their skin and deciding you won't employ them...
-
if it's a mature tree get at least one 8' length from the trunk and get it quartersawn, that way you have some beautiful board to sell/use as well.
-
has anyone worked out what this could be yet. i may be about to acquire this lovely dark timber and thought i'd get more suggestions.
-
looks like a beast... any shots of the wood inside? in my opinion a tree that wide should be quarter milled as it will make some nice quartersawn boards.
-
com'on big beech, get yer arse over here and you can have a play on my lathe...
-
tom, the pair are finished. they weigh 1.166kg & 1.168kg, i'm quite happy with them only being 2 grams out. who would be interested in a set??? .

weeping pear, "pyrus salicifolia"

would anyone be interested in buying a pair of handles and then just getting seperate weights to screw on the end? i had the thought that single piece clubs can take up a bit of space but if you just had a pair of handles and then lots of different pairs of weights then they could be more easily stored?
-
a possibility would be to turn a large short dowel about 2"-3" diameter and however long you need, 3"-4" should do. glue and screw it to the underside of your table, assuming that the oak for the legs is large enough you drill a matching sized hole in the top of the legs and slot it in. you can then screw (or dowel) through the leg into the dowel somewhere that can not be seen from the top too easily. should do the job.

i just found this site, UK made Indian Clubs | BODY & MIND damn that's expensive for a pair.
-
let me rummage through my stock first as i do have some hefty lumps kicking about. if i can't find any matching bits then you can cut your own timber. anyone know what sort of price these things go for? i can only find american websites that sell them.
-
i'll turn you some wooden duracells if you like and drill a hole for them to go in. they don't work otherwise.
-
well i used the same timber. it's more like making a baseball bat actually. i've done so many skittles i can do them in about 7-8 min, this took longer as the shape didn't look right till i finished it.
-
well here is the first attempt. it looks a bit more squat than it actually is, it's 18" tall by 4" wide and the handle is about 1 1/2" with a 2 1/8" knob. weight, 2lb 9oz .
-
i'll make you a set if you like...
-
those look great. how many boards are there? what would you want for them?
