Sensational, had lost previous beloved hat.

Same here, I initially thought he was using the lid as a guide for a square cut which at the time again thought smart thinking. Then when double checked after reading your comment, I don't actually...

Where did you get this excellent score???

Nice tractor, I like the picture of it on your lawn.

Sorry for the intrusion, but how would caesar stone (30mm) go. How flat and stable is this material to use as a backing. Only asking as my brother just gave me two 50 x 40cm pieces of the stuff.

Sufmat,

I will try and take some pictures this weekend as it is all in storage at my mothers. My wife is a way doing a course for a couple of weeks and being a Mr Mom doesn't give me much chance...

I splurged a little while ago and had an impulse purchase of a Tiger 2500. It didn't have the jigs so I started to make my own. A bit slow as my workshop is in storage and don't have ready access...

Well done Keith, have been trying to pick up parts or a complete Adept lathe for some time without any luck.

If you want to part with it I am interested. :B

Squirrel.

Nothing worse than having a new toy and not being able to use it than breaking it before you can use it. Hope all works out.

Squirrel.

Very nice indeed, agree with AlexS. More pics of the inside would be good.

Squirrel

That was definitely in the plan.

Squirrel

Thanks for the heads up, removed history on my computer and daughters laptop.

Squirrel.

Thanks for the info Therapy and heads up RSSER.

I have sent a pm in relation to the truing jig so will see how that goes. If you don't mind Therapy I will take a couple of those pic's as from...

All the best Sheddy in whatever direction your future takes you.

Your good proof of what I always tell my wife. Buying up tools now is a good investment as they can always be sold in the future...

Geoff,

Just notice the picture of your new work space, got to be happy with that. I remember buying some items from you and seeing what you had to work with before. Now very jealous as all my...

Your truck is very impressive. This would look very nice in some executive boardroom at a mining company. You should send some emails to see if you get some interest. About 15 years ago I made a...

Looks like a pretty good job to me, well done.

Squirrel

Thanks Robert,

That will be excellent, it wont be a rush project, I will just be putting it together when I can.

Yesterday popped into my local H&F for a peek and stroll when I saw an ex-display TiGer 2500 at a reduced price..... $199 down from $319. :B

Sort of wanted one so thought what the heck and could...

Come on Chook, I keep coming back to this thread looking for the photo to see if it actually happened. :U:U

Squirrel

Had to have a second look at the pizza oven. Looked when thread was first posted just saw the pizza on a angle. After Stustoys comment realised what it was about.:doh:

Squirrel.

I held back when I first saw this thread, but after all the responses couldn't help myself. I bought one also.

Squirrel.

I found this calendar on another site, thought some might like it on this forum as well.

Squirrel.

Thanks

I have only just noticed as I am mainly a reader and not a poster. But I have the strangest feeling that my post count is stuck at 250.

Will see what the count is after this post. (There I go,...

I remember using a mixture of creosote, Kero and old oil to stop sleepers drying out. It worked well, but the point to my comment is that the oil added didn't dry out so if you are going to be...

Thanks Mike,

I clicked on your second link in your previous post but not the first. My bad, anyway have looked at it now and thanks. May look at buying the BS-4A.

Squirrel.

I have been considering buying one of these machines. Any opinion of quality and performance.

Squirrel.

I too, have done this without a problem.

Squirrel.

When I use nuts to hold threads or bolts in a chuck, I first cut a slot in the nut so when the chuck is tightened the nut clamps on the thread.

Squirrel.

Happy Birthday, hope the presents are big and plentiful

Squirrel

I know this is a late entry, but just today I purchased a Makita twin box set being a 18v drill and impact driver for $399. Just couldn't help myself. Also sighted was another twin boxed set in...

Thanks Pac man, I have no idea why I didn't google it myself. I have sent an email to the UK hoping that parts maybe available. Have to wait and see.

Squirrel

In the absence of my workshop, which is still in storage, I am becoming very bored and need something to do.

I have dug up a small, what I believe to be a jewelers lathe which was given to me some...

Yeah Elderly, I did get mine finished and was pretty puffed with it as well. You bring back memories of making the ring gear (I think that is what it was called) for the graters blade. I now have a...

Elderly,

Don't be phased by the amount of parts, I have built this grader also and loved every part of it, including breaking parts and having to remake them. I will be watching your WIP with...

Very impressive Ray,

Will be very interested to see how you make your dies to match.

Squirrel.

I also wish to add my thanks to the Mod's and all who make this a great forum. Happy new year to all.

Squirrel.

When I opened it, it was the promotion window. Just press the "continue" tab and it takes you to the tail vise.

Thanks for the advice guys, will give the lanolin and baking paper ago. Started packing today, just did my tools from my peg board, lathe and mill tools and books. Filled three plastic tubs, a...

As I have just sold my house and will be waiting for my new double garage workshop to be built, I need to put all my tools into storage.

I currently have a vast collection of both wood and metal...

Magnificent bench Col, showed the bride the pictures and the first thing she said was how nice it is and why don't I make one for our new house. I have previously built a Lutyens style bench, but...

FenceFurniture,

Very timely, I am just in the process of submitting plans for a new house and a 7m x 6m workshop. I will have a play and see how it pans out. Might be in a better position to...

Maybe a question for Ubeaut..

My favorite Ubeaut cap now has paint on it which is still good for the workshop but I'm thinking I want a new one to wear out and about.

I had a quick search and...

Silly me, I thought the zinc was only the round disc at the front.

Still a very nice and challenging project.

Squirrel.

Very nice bench and I can appreciate the work that when into making it as I have made one as well. One question, how come the cross rails on the bottom are a different colour, they appear grey in my...

If I were to do this I would clamp the aluminum to a piece of wood then clamp the lot to my table saw then slowly raise the blade to cut the slot. I am thinking off the top of my head that my blade...

Absolutely beautiful, can not say anything more. :2tsup: :2tsup:

Thanks for the replies, will hunt around.
