I have 4 Oak dining chairs, the wood is very dry and has minor cracking. Any advice on what type of finish would revive dry Oak, would be much appreciated.

That piece is impressive, well done.

I also have been using Nord for many months and have no problems.

I also have a Elu 96e, that is more than 30 years old, not used very often today.

I have removed the grub screw from my SC4 chuck. The screw measures 6 mm dia x 6 mm long, it looks a fine thread, I am unable to check the pitch. The leather pad I am not going to dig out as it would be destroyed. The pad I think is 5 mm dia x 3 mm thick, hope this helps.

I live 10 miles from the coast, and we do get a lot of hot sunshine.

The panels are very clean after the heavy rain. Perhaps the panels are worn up like myself..

Just over eleven years ago, I had a 16 panel 4 kw array installed on my home. The Inverter was put in the garage, a digital display shows hourly output, the highest is 3610 watts. I have noticed for several years a power drop in the summer. Recently, blue sky, 38 degrees, the output was between...

The middle one are wire cutters, I have a pair the same, Aviation - m, stamped on one handle.

If you are going to use the bowl, 8 - 10 mm wall thickness would be ok. Thinner if the bowl was decorative.

Mine has no bed extension, as I mainly turn bowls I do very little spindle turning. Thanks for the offer, but I have no use the extender.

I have a Nova 3000 that I use occasionally, runs well despite its age.

Your best option would be stainless screws, as the last oak piece I made the screws were brass and I wrung the head off a screw.

Thanks Garno for your kind words. Perhaps I was a bit hasty with my refusal of the second jab, but at the time of writing I was feeling unwell. I do realise the importance of full vaccination, my GP is going to phone me Monday to discuss the matter.

Had my AZ vaccine yesterday afternoon, in and out in 4 minutes very efficient. About 3 am this morning I began to shiver then shake, I have never been so cold, chest pains, short of breath, reminded me of my heart attack 2 years ago. The side affects have been reported with the Corvid yellow...

I would use the tailstock centre with light pressure and turn the base as close to the centre as you can. Then remove the bowl and use a flat chisel to remove the waste piece.

Such a wonderful piece, you have more patience than myself.

I have a nova chuck, their limit is 1 1/4" X 8. The Versa chuck I also own, has many backplate thread options. The Record SC4 would be a good choice, many inserts to choose from, including M33. I will be buying an SC4 later this year, if I survive!

I have a Nova 3000 short bed, 600mm centres, swivel head. Quite old now, but reliable.

You need to just fill the gap, the staining can be removed with perhaps 1mm more wood removal, the ca fill will remain. What I have found useful was a tiny tube supplied with ca bought from a pound shop, for accurate filling of cracks, remember it's wood!
