:roll TEP, CJH I have read up on your plans for sharpining jig and as I'm only starting I've decided to give it a go.I think it would be better for me . If I cant make a go of the turning I wont have added expence.
That is not to say that I wont be able to turn, but I believe that it should be possible to make whats needed to carry out the proccess. The plans look pretty straight forward enough thanks to you both for making them available to us. I am waiting for a chuck from Rutlands which should arrive tomorrow ,as will the Keith Rowley book and 3 DVD's.
The set of tools I have are a cheap set TG as I have been experimenting with my sharpening techneic, as Chas. pointed out to me a few days ago they'll do to learn on. MY DONT THEY GET SHORT VERY QUICK, so next on the list a good set of chisels [for when these run out] and a decent grinder.
I've rigged up the dust extractor from my saws it's a Record5000 and it nearly sucked up me poor little lathe, so all in all I looking forward to the next few days. My freind who works for the roads section with the CO,CO, and is called out if there are any trees blown down ,has promised to supply me with wood, So with nobody getting hurt I'll be hopeing for strong winds in the next few months :lol:
Will keep you posted on progress Regds. Boysie
