Sure. I use 6mm HSS and rough shape with flap wheel on angle grinder before going through the grits on diamond / Waterstones finishing with 14,000 for very sharp edge. I go for approx 30 ish degree bevel rather than anything finer as you actually want to separate the fibres to allow the...

Ive still got my fingers crossed although not expecting any more post until other side of Xmas now sadly.

I’m still looking up to the sky hoping I’ve been good enough!

Bump - last couple of days tog et involved!

one if the best things about Xmas to give, receive and see all the pics go up. I think I’ve been in this since first year we did it (must be a decade now perhaps?). I’d add my call for anyone considering it to take the plunge. simon.

Email on way - thanks Phil.

Vicmarc 300 if you want a forever lathe - love mine and cannot recommend highly enough.

You could simply snip off existing connectors and replace. The model car industry has a whole range for swapping battlers frequently and will deal with way more current than the Powercap needs. Example here...

I’m absolutely bowled over (sorry!) with my gift - a fantastic shop made bowl sander and generous supply of abrasives. Both the wood turning and metal machining are both top drawer - and will give F1 performance with sealed roller bearings to give a lifetime of smooth running. Thank you so...

Mine went today to my s/s target. RM 1st class so fingers crossed they step away from the brazier long enough to drop it off for me!

Hi all - me and 2 mates are looking to go and do a woodworking related course next year. We are ok ametur woodworkers, have made some items of furniture for house etc but nothing a top end London gallery or contemporary design house has yet sought to market. last year we did Andrew Crawford...

Phil - when is cut off / draw so I know who I’ll have to make stuff for? Thanks, Simon.
