Thanks to the OP for the heads up. I've just ordered one at the bargain price and no P&P to pay! :D Cheers, Neil.

Just got an email from Axminster, apparently it's free delivery on anything ordered before 09:00 tomorrow morning! Cheers, Neil.

I was the under-bidder! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hi, Had a few days holiday in Cornwall and visited the gardens at Heligan, which are well worth a trip if you're in the area. Whilst there we came across a woodturning workshop/studio with a couple of lathes, I think one was a Record CL4 or similar and the other, something large with outboard...

Hi Johnny, Fabulous piece! Read the blog..... and you've nailed it. Cheers, Neil.

Hi Matt, You could try... http://www.theturnersworkshop.co.uk/sto ... rod_id=285 Vincent is one of the good guys, I've bought from him several times. I'm sure he's also got the bushings, drill bits etc. if you need them. Cheers, Neil.

Wivamac? I think I'd be happy with anything on that list, enjoy your shopping! Neil.

Hi. I don't normally advocate buying 'sets' as these are the manufacturers choice of what you "need", although admittedly they do usually offer some sort of discount against buying individually. If the Sorby set is your choice check out poolewood.co.uk for a decent price. Cheers, Neil.

Hi Jon, I attend the West Suffolk club, third Tuesday of the month at Earl Stonham village hall, (actually in Forward Green confusingly!). Having started turning through more general woodworking I've found it really useful for picking up info and ideas. Most times there's a guest turner...

Thanks for all the advice & comments guys. There's definitely two different routes there, which I lumped together in a jumble. The two companies I know of making high quality furniture, and then the companies making fitted kitchens/bedrooms etc. If I was fortunate enough to get the...

Hi All, I've generally posted on the 'spinney world' forum in the past but have ventured over here in the hope that some of you might be able to give me a pointer or two. Sorry if any of the following is a bit rambling or disorganized but that will become clear as to why. At the moment my head...

Hi Mark, I can only echo the previous compliments, the finial on this one looks particularly delicate. If I have a tiny niggle, and it really is only nitpicking, the lid looks a little narrow in comparison to the form to my eye... although it may only be 'in the photo' rather than the 'real...

Hi Roy, Lots of views but no comments, not sure why! If you've got a whole tree I'd cut it into long lengths and store somewhere out of the wind and rain. If you don't want to wax all the ends, and I didn't, you might lose a bit to shakes at the ends but sounds like you can afford to lose...

Uitstekende het werk Ad, en aardige kandelaars! MVG, Neil.

All, Along with several people I have been eagerly awaiting the "hollow form" DVD from 'our own' Mark Sanger. I've bought several woodturning DVD's in the past, some good, some not so good. As a previous customer of KTMP I got a small discount on this purchase but I've no connection to KTMP or...

Mark, You'ved managed to 'outdo' yourself again as far as I'm concerned. I started out two years ago as a 'purist' about wood - colouring it would have been heresy. However, pieces like this, and notable others, have also turned me to the 'dark side'! I don't suppose thare's any plans for a...

Hi Aled, Thanks for the confirmation of my rough calculation.... I thought it was a good deal! Best part was I think he just wanted to shift the pallet which was over ordered on another job. When he asked me how much cash I had on me I should have said £150 not the £200 I actually had! Far...

Hi, I normally only post in the 'spinney world' forum but do occasionally make 'flat' things. Wanted to finish a top for a coffee table I started a while back, before I had a heart attack! SWBMO asked if I could get some boards to match our European oak flooring, so contacted the guy who...

Hi All, Thanks again for all your comments. I haven't been out to the workshop but I'm pretty sure that I've got the Axminster flexi-drive with the five chisels as mentioned above by Aled. Cheers, Neil.
