I just thought I'd let you know that I'm offical a few step off the top of the slippery slope ...... got about 3 months of DIY before shed time
I bought the record lathe of joekid (must say that he is a great person to chat with and he happy let me play on the lathe before buying and the problem's he had been fixed)
to make things better I've just been to see my mother and after a quick look in the garage I find some turning tools ........ look like my Dad was thinking about a lathe before he passed away
I've not had chance to have a proper look at the tools yet but to my delight they are all brand new and have Robert Sorby stamped on the handels ....... so well happy got them for free so save a good few quid
One quick question ........ I've now got a skew chiesl, a scraper, and 3 gouges (roughing, spindle and one marked up as 343H??) is there anything else I should buy like a parting tool etc
Thanks
Ian
