Hi,
We were given a Poolewood lathe at our local Men's Shed and the donor said it was working ok. We have tried everything to get it running but, so far, no go. Is there a site where we could find some information on how to get this machine to run. It was donated by the son of the chap who owned...
I have been simmering for a couple of days now with this problem. A recent request in Scrolling- Scroll Saws > "Replacing tensioning rod for ferm 1007 scroll saw" made me think I could return some of the help I had been shown on this site over the years. I knew I had some pieces that various...

Hi All,
I am asking if any one can identify this piece of wood. It is 3'4" long by about 4 1/2" wide and 1 3/4" thick. It is fairly heavy.

I have 4 off bandsaw blades for sale (56 1/2" x 1/2" x 6 TPI) I believe they are for the 3 wheel De Walt or possibly a Burgess scroll saw.
I would like £25 for the 4 (including postage). I use Hermes as a courier.

Hi All,
Got some more done today (after unfreezing the shed lock), I now have 3 wise men in 3 stages of work.
Wiseman_1 stained ready for assembly and finishing
Wiseman_2 stained and assembled ready for finalcarving/sanding
Wiseman_3 finished cutting ready for sanding/carving
Hi All,
I managed to stain the front and back of wiseman 2.
My problem now is 'do I varnish each piece before assembly or varnish after I have the front and back pieces assembled. ??
Any ideas ???
Hi All,
I have just produced this cut of my name. There are quite a few mistakes but I should improve with practice :D
I made this during a break I took while cutting the 3 wise men project.

Hi All,
I have been busy lately on this Kathy Wise pattern for a friend. I have the fronts cut, shaped and sanded ready to be stained.
Next step is cutting the backs in the same manner and creating a 3d sculpture type set of standing figures.

Is there a maker in this country or do I have to buy from amazon.com and pay all sorts of money for Irwin or Bessey products.
Does the DIY outlets like Jewson and Wickes supply these types of clamps ? Can anyone help ?
take care
