Hmm, the pricelist on their website is nowhere near half the price of B and Q or Wickes I think there's a little exaggeration there. I sometimes have to pull out a couple of sheets to find a good one but no more than at my local timber merchants, the quality of ply is generally good at my local...

Although it probably won't get much love on here I find my local B and Q a good source for ply and/or MDF for jobs like this. The cutting service is excellent, the guy in there will follow my cut list perfectly to a good tolerance, it's open till 8 and right through the weekend, cheap enough and...

I bought a Tyme avon too and found this page had everything I needed: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/althea/tymelathes.htm The information I wanted was the thread (M25x2) and speeds, which it has on there. I certainly wouldn't pay £27 for a manual. In use it's a standard lathe, with nothing else...

That would be brilliant, thank you. Yes it has 3 bolt holes under the motor. They seem to go for £150+ on ebay- I don't really want that outlay plus the hassle and cost of fetching it- I really want to eithier find a separate one or make one up.

Hi, I have a Tyme Avon lathe, which I'd like to use to turn some bigger bowls/platters. To do so ideally I'd like to source the bowl turning attachment that bolts to the side of the bed, allowing the rest to be placed in position when the headstock is turned. I've had no luck on ebay- some...

Are these the right thing? And are they any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332164881225? ... EBIDX%3AIT

I hope so, paid £70 with postage. I'm hoping to return them to avoid the hassle of selling them on. (i got them on ebay)

Oh no, how annoying! They were sold as wood turning chisels/gouges. Total waste of money for me.

Hi, I'm new to the hobby, bought a second hand lathe and chisels and some wood blanks and I'm ready to go. Problem is that having bought second hand chisels I'm not sure what each is! I've tried comparing them to online pics but I'm still not 100% on them. I've also got the Rowley book. I think...
