No and No. Although I'm not an accountant (a book keeper) I worked in finance for many years :wink:

Not a lot difference in cost, I have not long become Ltd and did it myself online with companies house. As Limited it will also protect your own assets if something did go wrong and 'limit' the damage to the company (unless you do something illegal). Cheers Dave

Hi Anne - I agree with Phillydee HPC is the place to start. It will be a steep learning curve and you will need to learn to use programs such as a CAD system (AutoCAD type) for vectors (cutting) and a graphics program for raster files (engraving). CorelDraw is an option as well as it can...

It should be a tapered fit rather than a collet - the nut would pull it off if you do as Mick says or falling that a harder tap. I would spray some WD40 into the spindle centre from the left hand side, it may just be stuck up with gunk :wink:

If it's the same as one I used to have you can put a rod in the left hand side of the spindle and give it a whack and it will knock the spur out. I got a new drive belt from a local motor dealers :wink: Cheers Dave

Just watch your thumbs Phil :D

Try Slec :wink: Best Dave

Many thanks, hope you like the plaques and good luck to all that enter. Hopefully I may be able to join in next year :-) Best Dave

Thanks all, glad you like it. Best Dave

Hope to cut a test one tomorrow ;) Cheers Dave

It was indeed me from Blister's idea ;) Not doing any turning of late as my laser cutting company has been keeping me busy on top of re-locating to Devon - only woodworking has been making a new workshop :-) Best Dave

How about laser engraved? I can't make the board (packing up the workshop to move) but can engrave it for you for a few beer tokens to cover post and power :wink: Cheers Dave

I think Ian uses the same hosting company as i do - they had a problem this morning should be ok now though ;-) Dave

Mindsets do a laser quality ply which is good for cutting on lasers (less resins in the glue) and also HPC Laser do a 3mm ply. Best Dave

I think end it - I lost interest after the first bout of bickering. I did enter a couple of bits but only as I had the time and was bored so rather than encouraging me, it did the opposite. I'm not over competitive so don't understand why it became such a problem. If those who run or help run...

Sorry - no time to work on this months entry :-( Cheers Dave

Have a look here or here. If you need an outline of any of them let me know as I have software that will do it quite quick ;-) Dave

I've used the Turners Workshop a few times now and always been impressed. This week Vince helped out with a problem with a pen manrel, that wasn't his fault. His customer care is 100% spot on - thanks Vince! Cheers Dave

Not sure about Dymondwood but the Tool Post stocks Tigerwood in larger sizes. Dave

I use the bandsaw to cut larger sheets down to A4 size - then use them on my laser cutter :-) Dave
