Many thanks for the suggestions. The main question really is what is the best way to remount the piece in order to remove the tennon once the bowl has been completed - given that it is not possible to use the tailstock. I guess using some form of donut chuck, as Dalboy suggested, or homemade...

I have been given some largish pieces of elm (still wet) and am not sure how I am going to hold these after the initial roughing out. Usually, when I get some wet wood, I rough turn the bowl, leave it in shavings for several months and then put it back on the lathe, finish the inside and then...

Thanks for the replies. Are we talking the Araldite type of epoxy here or something like the West systems products?

I have often thought of having a go at filling some voids with resin but I am not sure which resin I should purchase. Should I use epoxy or polyester resin? There seems to be a huge variety of each and I find it quite confusing. Would someone please point me in the right direction. Many thanks

Many thanks for your suggestions. Southern yellow pine seems favourite. The smell whilst I was turning was definitely not the usual pine smell. Would that be the case?

I came across this piece of wood whilst clearing the garage a while back and cannot work out what it might be. At first I thought that it was a piece of softwood, possibly some kind of pine but it seems too heavy to be that. I cut off a small piece to find the grain is well defined and almost...

Many thanks for all your suggestions. It looks like Liberon lubricating wax is the favourite. I have some of that which I use on my planer / thicknesser so I'll give it a try on the lathe bed. Thanks once again.

I have just purchased an Axminster 1628 lathe and wondered what was the best way of keeping the surface of the lathe bed rust free and the banjo moving freely. Do you just use an oil for this like Duck oil or similar? or a lubricating wax? The lathe bed seemed to be covered in oil(?) when it was...

Brilliant - Thanks Ray - I'll try that tonight. Many thanks

Ray, we have exactly the same problem that you describe. At first it was just a few pages within the electronic program guide that displayed 'Searching for listings', the rest of the pages showing the channels and programme information as usual. Now, all I see is the 'Searching for listings'...

When I bought my 2 bag dust extractor, I asked about cleaning the top bag and was told 'turn the bag inside out and clean it with a standard vacuum cleaner'. I haven't tried it but it may work.

My apologies, credited to the wrong person CHJ - It looks really good apologies again

oldsoke - Wow! Looks really good. I have never turned laburnum, is that its natural colour or have you darkened it in some way?

I also prefer GT85 to WD40 but the sawdust does stick to the GT85 too. I have recently bought some of the PTFE spray from Screwfix but have not tried it yet. I think that lubrication actually makes the rise and fall worse on the TS2000. Sawdust sticks to it, builds up more rapidly than without...

Hi folks, sorry I have come in late to this particular topic but can confirm that the problem with the rise and fall on a TS2000 is most probably due to sawdust accumulation. I had this problem from a few months after purchasing the saw. I mentioned it to NMA at an exhibition and was advised to...

I have a DW625 router which I use almost exclusively in my router table. I have a fine height adjuster fitted and have not experienced the problems that you describe. When you buy the fine height adjuster, it also comes with a nut which fits the threaded rod that the fine height adjuster screws...

There are 2 doors which are are up and over steel doors. They do have a gap around them and they are my only means of getting into the garage. Unfortunately, I do not have a separate access door and have nowhere suitable to fit one. It is because of this gap around the doors that I was...
