I'd be interested to hear how many people in the country/world have a BRM. I know they sold quite a few of the smaller one (Bulldog?) but I've not heard of anyone who's got one.
You might be right on the big Jet. Until recently I'd not seen it and thought it was a much smaller/lighter machine. But it's a bit of a beast.

I agreed to it before i saw the price of them. Would have been cheaper to have the builders in to stick and extension on. |
We ended up with a full height meile freezer paired with a full height meile fridge - far more space than a US freezer, got to chose the stay fresh stuff and looks very cool. The only thing we missed out on was the ice dispenser which we get around by buying bags of ice

Hi Mike
My good lady has changed her mind already, but seeing I have my new lump of cast iron sat in the workshop looking at her I am just smiling and agreeing. lol.
Dropped the American idea.

What about the Robust lathes? Isn't there supposed to be an outlet in the UK for them?

Hi all,
I did a hollow form course today with Mark Hancock and Mark Sanger (an excellent day but that will have to be another post later).
I (deviously) casually asked Mark S what lathe he has now and he was happy to discuss it ..........
........ until he spotted my UKWS badge on my smock!!!!!
doh!!!!!!! 
I am sure he will come clean in due course and let know know all about it, but until then I am 
Sorry
S

That sounds like a fun day! Where was that Simon? Both Mark's are high on my list of people to do tuition with, one day. Tho I'm already in debt to MarkH 
We all know MarkS has bought a Draper mini lathe anyway. He's gone into pen turning full time...

pen turning, you got me.
It was a good day at he Mill at Portishead, Bristol run by the AWGB. Ten students. The course was based on hollow form turning from green wood covering seasoning etc, then onto a hollow form from a seasoned bowl blank if you finished the green one.
Enjoyable day.
So what is wrong with a drapper drill lathe.   I think they are quite good for turning tooth picks, and you know how useful a tooth pick can be when you need one.
Simon when are you going to post the coloured hollow form onto the forum that I saw yesterday. It was a beaut.
