Most likely an impossibility on my budget, currently have a Record CL4 and saw a Jet 3520b in Axy and fell in love, unfortunately my wallet can not extend that far so I've been looking round at an alternative. The heft of the machine, banjo and over all build has me wanted to replace the CL4...

My first major project after the workbench, i'm very much a beginner and although I'm happy with the end result there is much to improve on and many lessons to be learnt. I planed all the timber by hand, I really wish I'd had a thicknesser as I think have all your material at the exactly the...

Soooo following on from the brass bar :lol: I noticed that when I had a chuck on the spindle that I was getting movement when I got hold of the chuck or work peice and moved it, I've adjusted the bearing until I couldnt turn the bare spindle by hand then slacked it off a touch (whilst warm)...

Anyone got the original bass rod drift supplied with the CL3 or 4 that could let me know the sizes, have movement in the bearing which I need to nip up but after inspection the belt looks worn. Might end up changing the lot so would need the brass rod for the drift. I really wish I could...

Want to have a go at making a bed for my daughter, I've seen an awesome one on here with hearts in the headboards that I might loosely copy. Does anyone know of any free plans ? struggling with sizes more than anything, Corner posts 70mm enough or should I be going for 100mm. Side rail 25mm x...

Can anyone recommend a good treatment for fence panels ? Have got 40 6x6's to do :( Is it just a case of cuprinol from screwfix or can anyone recommend something better ? Spray-able and clear would be preferably but I will paint it on if it lasts. Thanks Jim

I've got quite a lot of timber I've processed myself, some of it in square some of it on half log. I had started roughing down to round the bigger square stock to help it dry a little quick, better storage and I can see what dia I will get from it. Is there any issue with this ? its not more...

Anyone interested in going half's or thirds on a order from BND ?

Made the below, not my best finish as I was rushed and its more of a test piece TBH. Struggled with the internal finish, couldn't get a smooth line with my hollowing tool and its bumpy. No way to get hand in, so how would I sand it and what finish should I use ? I usually use sanding sealer...

I thought I was getting there but as the wheel on my grinder is getting smaller my home made jigs are now all out and I really can not be bothered to make them again. I want a final solution, I want a repeatable edge on my tools that's easy to do. I dont have enough time on the lathe as is so...

Had a log left in the garden and I'm due to get some more soon so thought I'd blank it up, chopped the end off as it was cracking and ended up with this as each end (was much brighter but I've resealed it) Got excited and chopped the log in half and its not running all the way though :(...

I'd love to be able to take some better quality photo's of the things I've made, I've a canon SLR but with no really good place to take photos of my work. Does anyone know of any links or be able to provide some basic tips to get started ? I've seen some use a light box with a fluorescent light...

Anyone modded theirs or changed to something else ? I've started turn a bit more bigger stuff and found I get a lot of vibration, the lathe isn't currently bolted down so I'm looking at doing this along with increasing the height a tad. Has anyone loaded the frame down with sand to try and...

Hey guys, Been really stacked at work so any free time I've been doing what I can. Made a Guiro for my daughter and a few pens and bowls but struggled a little with the hollowing on the Guiro What does everyone use for hollowing Vase's and a like ? I would like to try turning some similar to...

Don't suppose anyone knows where I can get spares or knows what size I need, £5 + £5 postage for 8 screws is taking the mickey :cry:
