    For Sale Woodturning lathe

    Sorry if I've missed it but what is the max distance between centres and just as importantly the price?

    That would be absolutely fantastic James. Typically the only trip I have planned is north to Carlisle.

    If you are ever travelling north along the M6 I'd happily meet around the end of the M62 and pay towards your fuel.

    extending concrete base with a concrete trench, bad idea?

    Also bear in mind that a shallow concrete trench could be susceptible to heave if laid on clay. It doesn't have the same overall mass as the larger slab so can't resist the movement as much. It'll probably be ok though.

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Fantastic, they look like they've always been there.

    extending concrete base with a concrete trench, bad idea?

    Spacing of the lintels will depend on the span of the timbers you presumably lay perpendicular over the top. If you know the dimensions you can look them up on span tables. https://www.timberbeamcalculator.co.uk/en-gb/span-table/floor-joists?load=1.5&class=C24

    Cordless Batteries.

    I always thought the risk of non-genuine batteries was fairly low so long as they weren't left plugged in or connected to the tool. May be wrong though.

    Essential first aid items.

    I wouldn't worry about one handed plasters, if you're one handed a plaster isn't going to touch the sides.

    VPN's

    Out of curiosity what is the reasoning behind the VPN. Think I saw on another thread you're in Crete - do they restrict access to certain things?

    Mouldings by hand.

    Impressive work. I've never really considered that woodwork can be a historical re-enactment. Trying to reverse engineer the old techniques is an interesting concept.

    Selling stuff (again)

    Good idea. Might need some clever ideas about naming the items and where to post them. Posting to general marketplace they could get a bit lost, but equally posting to a craft based group would be a slightly closed audience.

    Extremely generous to give it away, wish Telford was closer!

    Selling stuff (again)

    I'd have thought Etsy would be worth looking into if they're of a size that can be posted?

    Moving Workshop Advice

    Probably take it with you. Buying new and collecting them, re-fettling will involve far more effort. Unless that's the bit you enjoy?

    How to approach a doorway for a workshop on a brick soleplate

    Could you not just butt your block work up to either side of the door? You could lap your DPC down and under the frame if you were worried about the detailing.
