    How many active turners remain in UKWorkshop ?

    I'm still turning but not been on here for a while. As my workshop is indoors and nor at all cold, most of my turning takes place in the winter when the demands of summer activities are reduced.

    Mitre saw stand recomenations.

    DBT85. My Kapex KS60 seems to have about 300mm between the front and back mounting points, so I guess that any universal mount with at least this distance in its slots would do. Strangely I have looked at several user handbooks on line, including the Evolution, and none of them gave the...

    Mitre saw stand recomenations.

    Just been looking at a YouTube video on the Evolution stand And it looks good and at about a third of the Price of the big name ones I was looking at. But for social distancing and most displaying type shops being closed I would have had a drive out with a paper or card template of my Kapex...

    Mitre saw stand recomenations.

    Not a hope. It’s got to be a put away option. I Did think perhaps of mounting say a board from the bed of my lathe and a couple of legs on the front that could be put away reasonably easily, but I’m not really keen.

    Mitre saw stand recomenations.

    I’m looking for a solution for my small and sometimes chaotic workshop. I cut most segments on a wedgie sled, but sometimes I want or need to use my mitre saw for some segmenting joinery. I have a Kapex 60 but I only get it out off the shelf when it’s needed. I have been using a foldable mitre...

    A plea to all UK scrollers

    I have bought “Baltic Birch” off the bay for reasonable cost. No idea if it is true slow grown Baltic birch, but it has been good stuff with no voids or splintering. I buy it in A5 a4 and a3 size which seems to suit any use I have for it. As others have suggested, spray mount fix for attaching...

    Elm trees

    I saw this on the news this morning. Brilliant ! And no mention (yet) of Brexot having anything to do with it.

    magnifying light

    I have one that I bought at a sale on good old Maplins, back in the day before it all went wrong for them. I use it at my bench for a whole lot of activities that require good light and a bit of help with small things. I have taken it over to my scroll station but to be honest I found it to be a...

    Any Festool ks60 owners...

    Fezman has got all the gen. he’s also mentioned that some space is required for the attachment of an extractor hose, and also the front support under the lock knob.

    Milk Paint.

    Thanks for that, I’ve had a look at that video. Even his spoons are starting to look ceramic!

    Edited - Which track saw (rather than which circular saw)?

    Since I’ve been to bed and regenerated so to speak, I remember now why I looked at and bought the Triton. This is because the Triton has a soft start. Might not be important to you, but I find that all power tools I have that have soft starts are much more comfortable to use.

    Milk Paint.

    Has anyone used mllk paint an a turning? I have seen some pictures of it’s use one parts of turnings and it looks really interesting, giving an almost ceramic effect. It seems more popular over the pond but one or two brands appear to be available here. I would be interested in anyone’s...
