Chippy

Sounds like its a centre less wheel to be used for grinding cylinders. You should be ok using it at slow speed if its just to sharpen your chisels.

This might help.

I was planning on turning the box down to remove the splits to see what was left, pretty sure I can make a few out of them though.Like you say its hard to find decent kits that are a bit different.

Just a quick thanks to Ian for very generously giving me the wood to make the pens, I've still got a few pieces left but waiting for more kits being delivered.

Thanks again Ian

You would be ok to use one on the outside of the bowl, but never on the inside.

Great for turning, far too good to burn / chip.

Stuart King has a video of how to do them, they had contestants on the generation game making them years ago.

Loosen one of the pipes connected to the ram as it may be still under pressure.

Dont import one from the states, the chargers work on a different frequency (hz) and they slowly burn out when used over here.

Oriental gentleman called me about my recent car accident.With his accent and my best broad Yorkshire we did our best to communicate.

Him.Where is car now?

Me. Getten shot on it

Him What

Any way this went on for a while with me going off to find the old documents I had on said vehicle.

Five minutes passed and I was more than surprised to find him still on the end of the phone.

He wanted the make and reg no of the car so he could check the details on his computer, he kept saying that there must be some mistake as he could not find my car on his database, after five attempts at putting the reg no in he slammed the phone down on me, cant think why?

The reg no ? oh yes p155 **F

You would be better buying single tools off ebay, Record power are reasonable ones to start off with, a 3/8" or 1/2" bowl or spindle gouge can be used for most jobs. a parting tool and a roughing gouge would also be useful.

If you feel brave enough also consider a skew chisel, it can be a bit hard to master but once you do its a very versatile tool.

If you cant get one try an engineering suppliers and ask for tool making springs that are used to make press tools.

What Steve says, just the same as I used to sharpen, they do look past there best though.

I think he wanted to know how to get old photo's on the computer.

You would need to scan them in.

Those are very good industrial blades used mainly on production lines. I used to sharpen ones that were used to cut up to 6 sheets of 18 mm mdf / mfc . Sharpened correctly they would last up to a month on a 8 hr days use . Reducing bushes are available so they will fit different saws.

Looks like some nice spalting on some pieces -as usual though too far away.

Got to be worth a bid at this price

If you only have a faceplate to screw the blank to, the best way to turn a bowl is to shape the outside and leave a spigot the depth of the screws plus 5mm that hold it to the faceplate then part it off and sand it by hand, this is after you have formed the inside of the bowl.

Make sure you use good screws though as you dont want them to shear off whilst turning.

If its your first time turning I think you would be better off to try a smaller piece first, a 15 - 16 inch blank can cause a lot of pain and damage if it flies of at speed.It would also be wise to hold the blank with the tailstock pushed up to give it more support.

Good luck and enjoy yourself.

Get well soon but take your time doing it

This is a bargain and you could make it any length you like, only drawback is it's a bit far away from you, maybe you get get someone on here to help collect it?
