Hi there, I'm afraid someone has already messaged me about these two sorry 😔

These have been sat in my bookcase for some years now without being read so it's time for them to go off to new owners. Most of these will go large letter postage singularly but some are slightly too thick and so have given a separate price for them. I can combine postage if more than one is...

These have now all sold I'm afraid :)

So I'm having quite a large clearout in my studio and workshop and this is the first lot I've cobbled together from my workshop. I am happy to combine postage on several bits if need be so have added the weights next to the items so I can keep track of pricing for combined shipping etc. The...

These are some good suggestions! I'm not sure what you mean by "showing"? I hadn't thought of a belt drive at all. The motor needs to run at around 18rpm. I did pick up this high torque motor as I thought it needs to be able to rotate a millers falls drill, so the motor is attached to the drill...

I did take the gearbox apart yesterday and run the motor without the gearbox on and it is a noisy motor. This was a cheap motor from china as the speed I need to run this automata at 18 RPM. Trying to find one in this country I wasn't able to find anything. This was baterry powered as well but...

Hi everyone, I'm using a 6 volt DC motor with a built in gearbox to drive an automata I'm working on and the motor seems to be so noisy! I've tried opening up the gearbox and spreading the grease around, boxing the motor in and even running the motor at 3 volts and still this loud drone is very...

I currently have an additional short tool rest for my coronet 3 lathe that I suspect isn't for my lathe as while it is a good fit it still slips down and seems to be getting worse. This isn't due to dust getting in the banjo slot either. In short I'm looking for a tool rest which has a rest...

Jack Russell, carved from Lime (y)

A fellow artist dug this up from her garden and gave it to me with a load of other rusty metal objects. One end is threaded and the the hole on the other side is too. Any suggestions?

These 3 books might be of use to a fellow wood worker who is thinking of maybe making a dolls house for their grandchildren. The character book even contains plans on building your own pub or cider barn so there's something for adults too. Also there is a working water mill with built in...

Now sold

I'm selling this lathe due to upgrading to a Unimat 3 with milling attachment. I am very sad to see it go. Emco Unimat SL lathe which was upgraded last year with a new 24v DC 100w motor, driven by a 24V 5A 120W PSU and a pwm variable speed controller. The lathe was last used 2 weeks ago and was...

That screams AI at me without even watching it. The size of the walnut grain on the base compared to the rest of the dinosaur. Either the dinosaur is tiny or it's AI. I chose the latter.

Big boy of a chisel up for grabs here! 1 1/2" wide firmer made by Marples. Total length including handle 11 1/2". The handle is in fair shape apart from the tip/hoop which has come loose. Could be a candidate for rehandling by someone who knows what they are doing. £10 plus £3.50 for second...
