    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Finished this end table today, made in the style of the Next furniture that design council purchased previously. Base is simple mortice and tenon.

    Post a photo of the last thing you turned

    Rough turned some green ash last weekend, and made a new mallet from an offcut of an old oak beam. Haven't been on the lathe for a while, took a bit to get back into it, but now avoiding the list of jobs I have in favour of turning things I don't need.

    Anatomy of a table

    Hi all, Thanks for your comments. The 'design' of table is dictated buly the space there is to situate it, and it has to fit in with the other furniture in the room, which is the design council's high end Next stuff. Appreciate all your input and knowledge.

    Might be my ineffective brain, but I have no idea what point you're making.

    A little truth for a change.

    Are you suggesting that 70 odd percent of the voting population turned out because they thought their vote was effectively meaningless, and the government might ignore the result anyway?

    A little truth for a change.

    Not a privilege, or not a democratic society?

    What lathe to buy

    It's the one I've identified for when I upgrade (currently). If you can get to a show, RP were offering it with the chuck and live centre currently offer online AND the outrigger for £2k at Newark the other day.

    Table saw advice?

    What @Cabinetman advises is absolutely correct. I have a Fox version of the Record Power tspp250, this comes with a full length fence, but you can slide the high/low profile attachment to stop just after the first teeth to reduce the risk of kick back. If your having issues with the locking...

    My wife's died. Well, according to Inland Revenue....

    Is it time to cut your losses? I know that if my wife was declared dead and then several days later she was resurrected, I'd not hear the end of it! She already believes she's omnipotent, I can't bear her taking after deities as well...
