OK. Will wait to hear from you.

I’ve been out with the tape measure. The 800mm is not an option. That would need a big log to achieve. I guess having to load them away on felling, I cut them into liftable sizes.

And Am recovery from a double knee operation ! What a pair. I will have a measure I guess the wood is not very thick ? If you send me a message we can exchange numbers etc.

What an impressive array of weird sticks, sorry wands, you have ! There must be a strong Potter following nearby. I am glad that the wood has found a good home.

And the colour just gets better the deeper into the heart wood you get.

Have you had a chance to think about sizes you need for your guitar? Morning Derek. Good to meet you yesterday, I hope you make some good looking wands. Remember to send pictures of your efforts. Rob.

I have plenty of that. Will give them all a good top up. Thank you.

Merlin. Just to say I have a build project going on at present that will end up giving me a workshop space and other things. I will then start a new thread for the lathe moving in and being turned on for the first time. As you say I think it needs a deep clean and service. What grease do you use...

The Wadkin arriving home. Has this worked ? Is it me? It is a bit sad to see so many on fleabay being sold as bits.

CHJ thank you for all that info. It seems that a) I don't understand how to make a photo small enough b) it maybe only suited to pcs and not Macs? All my pics are taken with my iPhone and they all seem to be too big to upload. I have no idea how to make them smaller. They upload to flea bay with...

Struggling to get photos uploaded. Any advice gratefully received.

Hi Merlin. I am currently lambing the sheep which means a shortage of sleep. But will do have a couple of photos so far and I will see if I can get them posted. It is one I had been looking out for for a while as it came with the cross- slide tool post. Oddly it does not have any Wadkin plaques...

Merlin, as a newby to the world of Wadkin and turning, I am interested to see you are in Oxfordshire. Me too. My machine is not a shiny as the one you have posted.
