Hi, I use Sikaflex as an adhesive/sealer on my motor home, The variations of heat and weather on all the panels (aluminium) surfaces on insulation and ply) is excessive and movement is inevitable but no leaks at any joints, The wooden floor is also fixed with sikaflex and there are no problems...

For those of us that like caravanning/motor homing. I can recommend Rowntree Park (caravan Club Site) a mere 5-10 minute walk to the minster. and adjacent to the river. I think it is closed at the moment for refurbishment. A phone call would confirm. Booking in advance is essential most of the...

Thanks for all the suggestions and help, as always the forum comes up with the goods. I think I will have a go at the sawdust burner , it looks simple and from comments they look to be quite efficient . Hughie, you mentioned a good design for a sawdust burner, can we have more details please...

The cold weather is upon us, I am really feeling the cold this year. In the past I have used electric heating to try and keep a modicum of warmth in the shop. This option is now getting very expensive and I am wondering what systems others use to heat the shop. I had looked at fitting a stove...

Re chuck, as you so rightly said no super precision chucks available in the UK, I have finally got my self a chuck, bought it at the Harrogate show, complete with the exert for 1.5" x 8TPI . I am told that other chuck jaws will fit the Patriot. I am not sure but think the Nova Jaws are the same...

It is a good show but was very busy, I can only get round on a wheel chair so it was difficult to see so0me of the stalls. I enjoyed the show generally but was disappointed I could not get near the demo workshops. As usual I came away having spent too much but got almost all on my shopping list...

Hi to all, I am considering purchasing an "Axminster Super Precision" wood chuck from Axminster I know that the Viceroy takes a 1.5" x 8TPI threaded chuck, and that Axminster advertise a wood chuck available with a 1.5" x 8 TPI thread. My concern is that they may not be the same thread form...

Hi All as a Carved Rocking Horse maker I can confirm that tulip wood is generally used for their manufacture. It is not cheap The last load I bought to make a Large horse cost me just over £400. and that I consider to be a good price. It very often has green streaks in it, but in my opinion not...

Hi to every one. Success, I am pleased to report that the chuck backplate is now off Spindle nose, with no harm done to the threads. Next Problem is to wire the motor to an inverter, (this appears to be a 3 Phase field and neutral plus earth) I am not familiar with the 4 wire plus earth. Guess I...

Good morning one and all, I have spent the majority of the last two days battling with this darned stuck chuck, still no success. I have resigned myself to having to cut it off by destroying the back plate (very very carefully to avoid damaging any threads on the head stock) The back plate is...

Thanks for your comments so far, I will try again when I have soaked it for a while with Plus-gas or its equivalent. I will replace the chuck on the back plate and try to shift again.On the outboard end of the spindle there is a .375 " hole going through the shaft just at the rear of the...

Hi I am a newbi to this site. I have recently purchased a used Viceroy Wood Lathe it is generally in good condition but I am having great difficulty in removing the 4Inch 3 Jaw Burnard Chuck. I ahe managed to free it from the backplate, but can not move the back plate. Looks like it has not...
