Holy moly, amazing looking beast but not cheap are they :shock: Makes my Tyme cub look like a Tonker toy xD

thank you for watching, part 2 coming soon.

the vb36 is expensive now, but it wasn't too bad compared to others when I bought it about 16 or 17 years ago

Really enjoyed the video, I've not turned any boxes yet but have the timber waiting, I need to get in contact with my local tree surgeon asap

All turning is on hold atm until I build a new bench for my baby lathe, I was getting a lot of chatter and vibration

As I said else where great video and thank you.

I would love to buy that lathe but a bit out of my price range also I don't think my shed floor would take the weight George.

 

[cornucopia]

thanks Dalboy, its not as heavy as it looks at only about a 1/3rd of a tonne.

thinking back about my how long i've had it i reckon its more like 14 or 15 years

2nd video is up and excellent, some great tips on obtaining the fit. Really have enjoyed both the video's and you should definitely do more if you have time.

What's the reasoning for using a neg rake scraper over a scaper ?

 

[cornucopia]

thank you

I prefer them to normal scrapers and find that I can get a better finish (especially on really dense wood or resin)

all my scrapers are negative rake and have been for many years, I cant see any reason to use a normal scraper.

That is probably the best box making video that I have seen. Very clear concise instruction with two or three very useful tips.

Well made George.
