I was wondering which extraction position people find the best. I have two pipes running to my lathe but find I have to move them all the time. Does anyone have an adjustable position that works well? Be nice to see some examples.

Has anyone got one of these SIP lathes? If so how do you find it performs.I'm thinking of getting the SIP 01940 model. The price looks too good to be true tbh. So I'm after some feed back. Thanks in advance Phill

I had a log off cut given to me about two years ago which has sat in my extractor shed gathering dust. I decided to turn it today and I'm having problems hollowing out the centre. Is there any short cuts to make life easier? What's the best chisel to use? What ever tool I throw at it, it just...

I just sprayed some iroko gates with a clear oil from morrells and it's taken four days to dry. After speaking to them and asking some advise I was told that I should of de greased the gates first...... With thinners! Anyone else heard of this technique. Seems a bit strange to rub thinners on...
