You got a nice lathe in the coronet you say you only have the basic chisels, try get hold of a few good quality ones there a lots going on ebay, depending on your budget, Marples, Record Power are cheap but acceptable, bigger budget tools are Hamlet and Robert Sorby. Also I would get a cheap wetstone grinder as these give a far better grind. Nice work by the way

Used to cut my logs to fit the stove, learnt a lot since then and now cut them a lot smaller to get lots of air round them, find i get a lot more heat out of them that way

Hi delabodge Dont have any pics as I only made a few for family. its easy enough though turn your stopper part down so that it drops in the bottle then I used a home made thin parting tool 2mm thick to cut 3 grooves 4mm apart,this was for 2mm O rings, cut the grooves so that you can just push the stopper with a bit of resistance, I did one groove before I cut the others as its a bit of trial and error. Once you are happy with the first groove cut the rest then polish/ seal as normal then apply a coat of lacquer,then fit all the O rings. if you get the sizes right you can tip the bottle upside down without it leaking. I am planning to make some more so will post some pics soon.

Try cutting a few grooves in the part that goes into the bottle and fit O rings into them, looks a lot better if you get the proportion right.

Falling thick and fast in Halifax

Give them a very wide berth, like jon say's go for a good used one with a good name, Clarke's are made in China and will give you more trouble than they are worth. Spend a bit of time on google looking for stoves,personally I would try and push the budget up to £450 - £500. you could try looking here Multi Fuel Stoves, Major Brands at Bargain Prices - Stoves Are Us

They should be banned

As well as anti virus software get anti spyware and run it regularly, lots of sites log your details, also data loggers are on your pc running without you knowing. a good place to get lots of free software is Cnet. com go to downloads and look for anti spy.

Running chrome and nod32 not had a problem, a bit faster if anything.
