It looks like I will have to remove the motor which is held into the case by the four crankcase bolts. I don't want to separate the cylinder...

Has anyone replaced the oiler on a ryobi rcs5145n chainsaw? How am I supposed to get access to it?

I agree with Neil, the replacement price including stand and tools is twice that price.

Is it a ring tool for rubber rings used on lambs? It looks different to other ones I've seen.

The best thing you could do is join the Woodturners Association

Spend the extra $$ and get the VM120, you won't regret it.

You can turn small things in a VM120 with the right jaws, but your lathe can handle bigger stuff.

If you settle for something smaller...

Welcome aboard, sailor!

It's a small world.

There's lots of good woodturning info here plus all sorts of other stuff.

You might get some with that G.M.F. grinder restoration.

There are two main types of live centres. The bit that spins is mounted on the inside like the Vicmarc or on the outside like the other one.

Yes, but with a bit more skew angle.

Other videos I've seen of Raffan his skew has been ground with a curve that makes the angle at the short point quite obtuse.

As you already have an 1 1/4" I'd recommend a 1" skew like the P&N with a bit of thickness to it.

I've been abused after helping a friend with C.P. get to the shops.
Plenty of empty disabled bays at the time so no one was inconvenienced.
Maybe rudeness and arrogance was their disability.

The best detail gouge I have used is the P&N. I use it for everything from tiny coves and beads, to hollowing end grain.

I sharpen it with a 30 degree fingernail grind with a big relief...

The Detail Gouge has a shallower flute and a heavier section than a spindle gouge, and is sharpened with a long fingernail grind.
While the grind is long the edge should be curved the whole way and...

To cut with the grain supported in cross grain orientation you need to cut from the bottom of the cove out.

The problem with that is you have to get to the bottom of the cove somehow. So a scrape...

It's newer than type 15.
The Y shaped frog bed came out after WW11.

The rest of the planes parts would help narrow it down.

A bit more wood around the tang end of the tool helps too.

Some tools come with a ferrule that is just too small in diameter.
