Hi Folks, I'm pondering building a vaguely shaker sewing stand, like a little three legged table with a drawer under the top (the top being held in place by a yoke which also supports the drawer). Wise to the idea that I might be able to consider a variety of subtly different designs by using...

I have a Record Power DML36SH for sale, it is about two and a half years old and in excellent working order, complete with bench, bowl rest and RP3000 collet chuck system (with 4 sets of jaws and a variety of other work holding options). There is a picture of it here. I am asking £120 for it...

I've struggled with Sketchup a bit in the early(ish) design stages of a couple of projects, but mostly I've found it to be a slightly infuriating kind of a thing. Initially I would try to build an object from a number of pieces, but I could never quite get them to integrate together to make a...

Hello Folks, I'm considering getting a lathe in the near future, but not too sure what to go for. It will just be for light hobby use, and to be honest I've no idea what I want to turn but it seems like quite a nice way to use up scraps of wood and I rather liked the idea that some things...
