Hey Deejay, that's excellent, thanks, :D :D :D . Gaz1981.... it is well worth having a read of these details, they will sort out your problem. :wink:

What is the maximum size file for an image on this forum. It could be either the size of the file, or the format which the file is saved as. Generally "jpeg" files are the most user friendly with forums, as by reducing their physical size as the picture appears on your screen through "Paint" or...

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome, and to answering my questions so far. A special thanks to Noggsy for the invite to the local club and a meeting morning. Very kind of you. I think I am going to get a great deal of value from this forum, not only in the woodturning section, but (from...

What does DAMHIKT mean (sorry newb-itus I am afraid). Also SWiMBO ??

Having looked at the various replies, my timidity in purchasing one of these jigs would appear justified. Yes I have watched the videos using most of these jigs you mention, yet they all neglect to include the fundamental principle rammed into my brain during my metalwork/woodwork classes, that...

Thanks Shed. I will do as soon as I set it up, got to finish off making the space. It is sitting for the present on my lounge floor waiting for some weather so that I can complete the job. Maybe this weekend. Not sure if I will start turning yet until I have attended a local club which was...

Well guys after a load of deliberation, I finally settled for my lathe....... a SIP 01936. I have been awaiting its delivery, and it finally arrived on Wednesday gone. Not used it yet, but I have given it a once over out of the box and it is very nice. Centres line up perfect, tailstock and...

Thanks for the advice Carlb40 I have re entered the question there and deleted it from the current topic forum.

One burning question I have at the moment, concerns wood lathes. I am in the market for a wood lathe, and I would welcome any opinions, "stay away froms..." etc. I am currently looking out for a reasonably priced wood lathe. Did some turning back at school, but in those days we had a candle on...
