    Post a photo of the last thing you turned

    Back with the bowls from a planque again. Black walnut, ash and not sure what the mid coloured wood is? It's as big as I intend to go at 14" diameter. The second largest ring broke when it parted, but salvaged with some Titebond3

    Bandsaw blade handy reference

    I was showing one of our Men's Shed members how to cut match sticks on the Shed saw with a ¼" 6 skip blade. He was quite impressed that they were about ⅛" square and no problems in doing it either. As for 1" thick, 3tpi? I have no experience of doing that. A while back I was asked to revamp an...

    What lathe for small jobs?

    As a mate of mine has always said You can do small things on a big machine, but you can't do big things on a small machine. There are loads of bargains on the second hand market and as gas been said an induction motor will last you out and is quieter than the brushed version. At the moment...

    New lathe for a Men's Shed.

    This used to be a leylandii 3 years back. Best use for them I think. And these are the off cuts from the reindeer above

    New lathe for a Men's Shed.

    Hi OJ, I'm sorry that I haven't been in touch before, but it's had to go through our committee and all that sort of thing. It has to go through the Lottery as well, but they are being contacted this morning, so that should be through soon. So, is the lathe still up for sale please? If so I have...

    Mens Sheds

    I joined the Tetbury Shed earlier this year ad our workshop is a 20' converted container. Our membership is small running to about 12 blokes and all bar one is retired. We are moving from a rundown industrial estate to a much better site in the New Year and hopefully expanding and getting...

    New lathe for a Men's Shed.

    The lathe. It's for me to 'try' to teach some elderly gentlemen Shedders how to use a lathe and the basic tools. I don't know if you are familiar with the idea of the Men's Shed Association, but it's for old pippers like me to be able to get out to meet other men, have a chat and a coffee and...

    New lathe for a Men's Shed.

    Our Men's Shed is just getting established and at the moment we have a Sealey lathe loaned by one of the members untill his workshop is up and running. We also have t he loan of a small bandsaw from the same member. So, I am looking around and asking what will be the best reasonably priced...

    Stabilising a banana covered pottery vase?

    Ta for the replies gents. The tB3 is the exact same colour and I tried it on the inside of the flaired top. There's no colour change at all. The snag is that I'm not going to have time to paint the outside so it's going to have to go as is. It's a shame. but we are away till next Saturday with...

    Which woods?

    Steer clear of iroko, or at least I do, as it can cause skin reaction and irritation. Other than that it's always a very good idea to wear a good dust mask, but that aside as Phil said, any wood you can get is a good way of learning. If you are just starting out on this wonderful slippery...

    Stabilising a banana covered pottery vase?

    Yes, you read the title correctly :rolleyes: I'm involved with a local Men's Shed and we have had a large pottery vase donated. It's quite soft=ish pot and \I think it's called unglazed earthen ware. It is covered in what is almost certainly banana leaves and the general idea is to turn it into...

    Tuffsaws?

    I have been trying to contact Ian at Tuffswas. Has anyone else had difficulties? The probability is that he's on holiday I suppose?

    Sealey SM 13903 bandsaw?

    James, I can only agree with tyou, but they don't make the 301 anymore and it would be far too many beer tokens as well if they did. This one isn't what used to be called cheap and cheerful, it's just cheap me-thinks. Just as well it was got via some Amazonian place, because I think the kindest...

    Sealey SM 13903 bandsaw?

    I assume that there aren't any of these things around?

    Sealey SM 13903 bandsaw?

    I am wandering if anyone has one of these saws and if so then what is the verdict on it? One was bought for the Mens Shed I have got involved with by one of the members and it's been my job to 'try' to set it up. So far I just can't get it to cut a straight line and the blade is NOT well brazed...
