Hi Steve still turning I see. Not been on here for a while . Just been in hospital (3 weeks ago ) after a slight heart attack and having a stent fitted. Now feeling a lot better and fitter than I have for a couple of years. How are you both keeping, well I hope.

First bit of turninig I did was at school in 1962. Then a BIG gap until about 8 or 9 years ago when the bug realy bit. :lol: :lol: Malcolm

Hi UcB I have a CL4 and have used it for over 3 years without any problems. I have used it for everything from miniature chess pieces (5mm) tall up to 16"platters and walking sticks without any sign of trouble. Malcolm

Thank you all for your coments. The design was based on one from the book Turned Boxes by Chris Stot. Malcolm

Recently had to make this urn for a neighbours relative as an urn for her husbands ashes. :( :( It is made in Elm and had to be made out of 3 pieces. It is 8inches square by 8 inches high plus the finial which is Ebony apparently the recipient was very pleased with it. :? :? Malcolm

Yep that one works fine :lol: Malcolm

Hmmm Don't know what that could be, although you have probably got one of the new updated inverters. Mine is over 3 years old and the only noise I get is the whirrr from the cooling fan. :? :? Oh second thoughts have you tried using different belt positions, I find that mine clicks in,,hmmm...

Hi Frugal Glad you got it all together at last :D :D . The noise from the inverter is a small fan to keep everything cool 8) 8) Good luck Malcolm

Hi Frugal I hope you get as much enjoyment out of your CL-4 as I have out of mine. I have had mine for about 3 years now and am completely satisfied with it, when I first got mine set up, I did as they suggested and ran it in for about 4 hours and then another couple of hours for good luck...

Thanks for the offer Ray but as you say could be a bit overkill just for the one project and as you say a bit of a distance from me. Just out of curiosity how much would you want for it. Malcolm
