Goerge - it's Ralph Lee No hijacking intended, enthusiasm squashed! Cheers!

Yes but you should see my woodturning!! Someone described it as a 'designer firewood'. I definitely want a divorce :) I didn't mean to sound off, It's all good stuff and well meant advice that's been suggested and I have looked at the AWGB and may join if I feel it has something to offer me...

Agree absolutely (I used to run a shooting club, we had both 3rd party AND personal accident insurance anywhere in the world whilst shooting - for the club or not) and should whatever (if ever) group get going and should said group ever have / be near equipment or an arranged demo then I'm sure...

Perhaps a 'get together' isn't such a bad idea? What's wrong with a get together? I met my missus at a get together. OK, perhaps that's a bad example :). Essentially I would be looking for a group of like minded people in the Lothian area who, like me, occasionally need advice or support with...

George If you're in GB & NI we live in an entire country governed without a constitution (a written one anyway)!! I still think it's going a bit far until there are at least 3 of us though. Financial help from the AWGB sounds good - would it run to beer?

I too am fairly new to woodturning and at some point I'll post a picture of my 4-identical-egg-cups-in-elm project which are 4 different sizes and all unique! I know that there is some activity at Broxburn: "BROXBURN WOODCRAFT CLUB: The club holds sessions every morning and evening in the...

Check the space on your hard disk drive. If it's getting full it can often throw up odd errors and the system can slow down as it looks for space on the drive to cache memory to. Lovely microsoft also put out lots of updates that screw up machines regularly. I must rebuild my laptops from...

I lied previously, I only replaced the outboard bearing because the inboard one semed OK. Replaced the inboard one today - wobble is no more. Serves me right. Mike.C I too am an incomer to the bonnie Jockland. As I tell my missus, she was only born here whereas I chose to live here!! (Only...

Odd isn't it, when they're 18 / 19 cluttering the place up and making a mess one can't wait to get rid and then when they've gone on misses them and wishes they were back! Mine went back to the flat with a half can beer goblet to remember Dad by! I knew that lathe would come in handy. He'll do...

Just joined the forum so I thought I'd say hello from Scotland. Been turning a matter of months and my user name is very apt so far. I'm having a bad attack of the wobbles currently which I think is something to do with me as I've changed, tightened and cleaned all the bits on the lathe I could...
