I am fairly new to turning and my route in was with a cheap second hand Record Power DML 24 for £125 that included a 4 way chuck from a friend. I then spent £200 on decent tools and sharpening kit (8" grinder and Sharpening guides). Then once I realised I was going to like turning and knew what...

Hi Chris I had someone come round to pick up an extractor I am selling and he wanted the vice as well so It has gone I am afraid.

Hi Chris I can look into it for you. I would need to find some packaging as well. I will let you know. Gareth

This is my used Axminster 9" quick release vice. I have bought a new work bench with vices built in so I no longer need this. It is approx 10 years old and works perfectly and is in good condition mechanically. It got some white emulsion paint dripped on it when sitting on my workshop floor in a...

Hi All I have a new extraction system and no longer require my old DX5000 extractor. Condition is pretty good and is in full working condition, see pics for more detail. There are marks and some paint splashes from painting the workshop and there is some corrosion on the mounting bracket but it...

Thanks Guys

A spindle moulder is is a router table on steroids really, much larger spinning bit with a lot more power. A pro workshop tool really as they are expensive. As I said before, the job would be fine with a decent router table which is what I would have used if I didn't know someone with one. Good...

Thank you. Very carefully! :D I did initial rough cuts with a jigsaw when I was doing the joinery. Once it was glued up I visited a friends workshop to use his large band saw and trimmed to within 2-3 mm of the final line. Definitely a two man job as it is heavy. I then made a precise...

Thank you very much, my dad was very happy with it as well and called it a fitting memorial to her. The finish was around 8 - 10 very light coats of Osmo Polyx Oil in Satin finish. Initial coats were painted on with a brush and wiped off with a clean cloth. Later coats (3 onwards) were wiped on...

Thanks chaps The church has been given a major refit inside so the hand over was able to coincide with the Bishop coming down to re open and bless the changes and to my amazement they got him to bless the new font cover as well so my first blessed piece of work!

I thought I would follow up with the finished project as a series of pictures. It was for my parents church and sadly my mother died before it was completed but she knew the design and the wood that was to be used and I put a little plaque underneath it dedicating it to her memory as well.

I am now feeling a little guilty as my neighbour gave them to me as their mother (98 years old and sharp as a button) was having a clear out and asked if they knew any woodworkers and said these chisels had been sitting the attic for 50 years plus and she wanted to give them to someone who could...

Hi All, been a while since I posted anything but have received a gift from a lovely neighbour yesterday and carving is not my thing so was wondering if anyone knew anything about this set of carving chisels. They are marked JB Addis 10 Medals and seem in reasonable condition with just a few...

I am very interested and am fairly local. Will send a pm

Jointing will be required as it is not wide enough in one piece and you are correct, it will be a challenge, thanks for the suggestions custard. The font and church are very old and very simple and this cover will be replacing an existing cover that looks a little like what Andy posted. It is...
