Some nasty blighter hid the chip deflector - tsk tsk :no: Wouldn't happen to know who eh ???

[Cliff Rogers]

Arh, chess pieces. :2tsup:

[RETIRED]

Some nasty blighter hid the chip deflector - tsk tsk :no: Wouldn't happen to know who eh ???I tried a chip deflector but it just clogged up.:D

We normally put a hand up to deflect some of the stuff but even then it builds up.

[tea lady]

:d


(One doesn't get into wood turning for the fashion does one!:doh: )

[Waldo]

I though they were salt and pepper shakers for very big giants. :D

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

(One doesn't get into wood turning for the fashion does one!:doh: )

Wha? You mean that a layer of sawdust isn't tres trendy? :rolleyes:

[Paul39]

How do you keep the chips out of your shoes?

[Woodwould]

Isn't that the dunny-emptying outfit? It looks the same as the one Mrs. Wood uses.

Nice staddle sticks! :thyel:

[Ozkaban]

:whatonearth: I thought they were hair curlers.

I think most men feel their looks are improved by hiding under a layer of sawdust. Didn't think women thought the same :cool:

Cheers,

'Real Stuff'??? No faceplates to be seen so where are you hiding the 'real stuff'??

Putting that aside, you still haven't answered the question: what are they? And what is the wood? Big pieces! Are you still knocking down electricity poles?

Putting that aside, you still haven't answered the question: what are they? Stools or side tables. And what is the wood? Tallowood Big pieces! Yep. Are you still knocking down electricity poles? For these yes.
We have faceplates too so that we can do the simple stuff. :whistling2:

[Sawdust Maker]

Does the turning smock match the colour of TL's old shed?

[brendan stemp]

Simple stuff??? Eh (I scoff) Isn't spindle turning (ie turning with the wood attached to two points of the lathe) for those too scared to turn with the wood held by one attachment point?:D

(I'll say no more in case I get accused of detouring this thread):rolleyes:

Nothing amiss with a good detour!:wink:

[Christos]

I originally thought that these were chess pieces. Like the ones they have in the Hyde Park here is Sydney.

You might find it hard to kick it with your feet like they currently do. :U

[Sawdust Maker]

Dunno - may have purchased shares in a podiatrist business :q

[tea lady]

How do you keep the chips out of your shoes?Don't have to worry about the shoes unless I wear shorts.:C I have to wear the hood other wise I end up with splinters in the nickers.:rolleyes:

I think it's time for Tea Lady to have some lessons from Ken Wraight - especiallly now that she's conquered 's mega stuff.

No need for all the space suit either. No junk down the knickers either.

Best part will be listening to the pair of Masters argue about the merits of one method over another..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Won't have so much to sweep up either!:cool:

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Sweep up?

No. But if you're anything like me you'd have a pile of failures that you need a shovel, wheelbarrow and pot-belly to get rid of. :roll:

Wow did not think you were that tall. :U Walking among giants! :2tsup:

[wheelinround]

[tea lady]

Yeah! It no the object I want! Its the turning practice! :rolleyes::p:D

[powderpost]

No doubt about being taught the better techniques, but has he shown you how to sharpen tools properly yet TL ? :D
Jim

[jefferson]

Jim,

You will have to do a search on an old post but FINALLY conceded that some OFFICE WORKERS couldn't sharpen free-hand.

The up shot is that now sharpens on a Tormek. As do some of his students. :D:D:D

The bugger has even adapted some of the Tormek jigs just to suit his chisels. :?:?:?

Anyway, good to see TL having some (dusty) fund.

[chrisb691]

I thought they might be handles for a new range of industrial teapots. :D

Anyway, good to see TL having some (dusty) fund.Nah! Now we sharpen on a modified Truegrind system. Modified cos if you do up the knob tight enough you can't undo it. :doh: (Contributions to the dusty fund greatfully accepted.:D)


I thought they might be handles for a new range of industrial teapots. :DI'd need TWO body builders to pour the tea..... :think: ......:cool:....:D

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Why would you want to undo it? Mount one on every tool and then you have a side-handle to control the roll of the tool! :U
