Mornin' guy's & gal's, just saying hallo after a VERY LONG break from the forum. Lot of new faces around, Hi to you as well.

Hi. Don't get to this part of the forum that often, but on this I have no knowledge at all. Have accepted a job to make quite a few turned and fluted legs, and associated pieces. I have never found the need for a router in the past, but obviously I need one for this work. I intend putting the...

Just had this e-mailed to me. Twenty Economic Models Explained SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour. COMMUNISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM You have 2 cows...

Hi H&B. Got the measurements you asked for earlier, but one thing I will say before going anywhere is that none of these are critical. In fact the one I made is a little bigger than some. The reason being I made it to fit two lathes. I had downloaded a PDF of a plan of a ‘snake’ (Capt. Eddie's...

Good buy here if anyone is in the market for a new chuck.

Didn't want to pinch Richard's thread, and Tom asked about somefink I mentioned in it. Find a hole saw, piece of steel pipe, bike handle bars, anything like that. If a saw gently grind the teeth off so as you end up with a flat end to the pipe. Do the same with all pipes, grind a flat end. Then...

Please bear with me on this, I’m not trying to “teach my granny to suck eggs”, but a lot of newcomers ask how to post photos in their forum posts. This is about Photobucket, there are many equally as good hosting services on the web so maybe others can post a “How To” on their particular...

Hi, hope someone can help me with this search I've been doing. Like most I have a hard drive full of digital photo's, and have spent a couple of hours searching for a photo cataloguing software program. I've been looking for a card type database which actually stores the photos, with text...

Just a heads up on my feelings about the said show this year. No. 1. If any one is travelling to the show via the A1(M) and A661, pick a slightly different route, the old turn off from the A1(M) to the A661 no longer exists. Whether temporally due to the road works that are there or what I...

Hi. Deep in the throes of sorting and trying to tidy/clear my garage/workshop of the accumulation of just over 20 years of, I'm sure this will come in handy bits. Anyway I have three old planes that I would rather pass on to someone who may care for them rather than me chuck them. So if you...

This post stems from a member asking about 'Creative- Woodturner software'. My personal opinion is that paper and pencil is great for designing, BUT if anyone fancies using a program, (and not spending money) I remembered something about a Windows 3.1 program I used to use years ago, and have...

Found this while browsing, thought it may be of some help to any who still think they have problems shaping a long grind on a spindle/bowl gouge. Grind Profiles

Over the last few days the long grind topic has raised it's ugly head again. I am not professing to be a expert, but thought I would put together how I treat my spindle/bowl gouges with there long winged grind. IMO too much emphasis is put on the angle of this, the angle of that. If you are a...

Really cheesed with Microsoft so decided to give Linux a try. Installed Ubuntu on a old computer I have upstairs so I could give it a serious looking at, and everything is working great. What has me confused is that I have not had to install any drivers, mainboard, graphics card, and all other...

Hi. Does anyone use Picaso2 from Google? Just opened it on my computer and it looks quite interesting, but it appears to be showing duplicate folders with the same photos in each. Can anyone help with this program?

Looks like any of us using Freeshare.US for our pic. hosting are in for a bumpy ride just now. Also I wonder what may happen if the site is sold? What other sites are you folks using to host photos? I think I should be considering of moving on, don't you? Just a bit of a pain with all my pics...

Hi. I've got a 6" disk, 4" belt sander. Has anyone fixed a hook velcro mount onto the 6" disk? and if so how good was it. I fancy trying to convert my disk to velcro pads rather than the straight adhesive which it has at the moment. Also where can I get the velcro needed to do the job? Thanks...
