Hi Mock, these are the photos of the pen mandrel I made. If your father in law would like it PM an address to post it to.

Was a simple get around and served me well enough until I upgraded my lathe. I have a look in my shed tomorrow for it and get a picture. Apologies for the spellings main problem with being severely dyslexic. Hopefully hasn't affected the point of my post. If it has can a mod remove it.

I had the same problem with a my first lathe, it was a cheapo lathe from Machine Mart. I bought a kit from planet plus with out the mortice taper part and then turned a piece of wood that protected my hand from the drive taper and then drilled a hole it the centre to accept the shaft of the kit...

The best product to install would be British Gypsum's Gyproc Thermaline PLUS in either 27mm or 35mm board. It is a insulated plasterboard with an integral vapour control. It is all that we specify now for refurb jobs to old houses that need insulating. Install just like plaster board.

I have a small one, that was on sale a few years ago so you could try it out before buying the large set, but have never needed to scale up! One of the most usefull tools in the shed. Buy one and you won't be disappointed in my book!

Not a problem, just a shame its a long way... Fancied a few of the bargains myself :( Always next time!

Just come across this link to the axminster clear out price list on there Facebook page... Shame there so far away... http://www.axminster.co.uk/downloads/ClearanceSaturday_pricelist.pdf

That is brilliant... All I want now is an espresso!!

Sorry to see you go, as a long term lurker I always look forward to any post from yourself. i always promised myself that next year I would enter the turning comp, it was a great idea and always a joy to see what interesting ideas the entrants came up with!! Also being an original dagenham boy...

Just upgraded from a Aldi Special - To a Trend CraftPro Router Table MK3 coupled with a trend T4. Very Happy!!

I have only order with them a few times which have been ok. But ordered with them 3 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago I was told the item was dispatched only to find it hadn't. Apprently it was an automated email which can't be stopped. Was told the item would be dispatched last Friday, only to chase them...

After being a long time lurker, I feel its about time I posted a finished project and I hope its of interest... I have done a few little bits around the house etc... but not anything like this. My Fiancée is just completing her third year of a degree in exhibition and museum design & for...

I am in... Thanks for setting it up.

I have the wood star PT85 paid around £200 for it four years ago. Cracking little machine has handled everything I have thrown at it so far, eats oak and sapele leaving a very good finish. Same blades in it as when I bought it. It is loud but with a good pair of ear defenders its fine. Only...
