Hi John,

I guess the 'sales tricks' you refer to in an earlier post, are from my post.

I do take offence at them being called 'sales tricks' or 'sales tactics'.

And then you go on to say...

Ok, be warned, my posts tend to be lengthy, I was uncertain whether I should say anything as there are others with as much or more expereince in this area here

I decided to add my ecentric...

Here is another idea I found that might be of use to someone.

Is everything ok with the pairings?

I see several people are listed three times, at least one person listed five times.

Just my two cents worth.

Noticed that you are new to the forum.

One of the traps sometimes when doing a search, check the date above the posting.

You have replied to a posting that is dated 2006.

This might have been what broke it for Safari on the IPad.

In the last week or so, I noticed a problem with the forums when using Safari on the IPad.

It used to work fine, but recently started...

I have the same chuck set/ The screw with the four slots in it get gripped by one of the jaw sets. I think it is the standard 50mm jaws. Once gripped, I've never had it move at all, it sort of all...

Hi,

How does your tool differ from these?

Because these will cut on all three sides, and for roughing, push straight in and then cut with the side by drawing along the work.

Hi,

Remembered a solution to this being posted some time back that I thought was neatly done.

Here is one of the solutions that has been posted in the past. .

I was liking the look of the chisels and planes as well, but the prices have doubled in the last day, and there is still days left to go on the auction.

So, they're less interesting now.

Hi,

Looks a reasonable setup. The only concern with it, is with the demise of Triton,
the availability of spares or lack of availability for the router would concern me.

And also why is it...

Hi,

Thought I'd let people know.

Sitco is still trading, I spoke to Brian this morning.

I mentioned this thread and said I'd let people know that he is still selling Queen Ebony.

He has...

Hi,

I'm interested in giving this a go, not with a guitar but on an electric violin.

I have a couple of questions. As the paint covers the timber, what sort of timber are you making these with....

Hi,

Probably off topic.

The Vicmarc VL175 I looked at, at Vermec and the Brissie woodshow had a 1.1kw EVS motor as standard. Its listed on the Vicmarc website as 1.1kw as well.

Fantastic looking pendants, I've just turned my first acrylic pendant on the weekend and they are a bit of fun.

Just a note about my experience with tape.

I've tried several brands and types of...

Hi,

I bought one of the pendant backer jigs from the IAP forum recently, as my wife and daughter have been looking at some of the pendants that have been made on the IAP site and wanted to have a...

Hi,

I decided to try something a little different, and smaller than usual.

Here is my first attempt at a set of earrings. They are made up from the left overs of an acrylic pen blank. Over the...

OK, bit more info, that more knowledgeable people than myself might be either review or dismiss.

I found some round cutters under the Brand Sandvik.

I am trying to find out where the specs are...

Hi,

I asked him about the round cutter, and I got this reply overnight,

"Gavin I’ve been experimenting with a tool with an 11 mm round cutter, it cuts great, but the tool bar size is limited to...

OK,

Trolling back through searches and found that this site has been listed before, and this insert is only 12mm diameter and everyone is looking for 16mm.

Never mind, I'll toddle back to the...

Hi,

Has anyone looked at these?

Carbide Depot

Don't know if these are suitable, just found them and thought it might be worth showing someone more knowledgeable.

Thanks

Hi,

I've got a friend that is looking at purchasing a Vicmarc. He is looking at either a VL175 or VL200.

The main difference he is wondering about is the swivel head. The VL175 can swivel 30,...

Nice result,

I like how Olive looks, and smells when turning.

I like the first pen, I like the darkness of it. All the Olive I have had has been a fair bit lighter.

And the kit suits it...

Ern,

I stand corrected. I probably used the term 'manufacturer' loosely, the 'assembler' for these suppliers is the 'Burt Group' as per my earlier post.

There are a couple of other assemblers I...

Same manufacturer.

Sold by at least three suppliers in Australia that I'm aware of,

Some of the equipment and accessories from this manufacturer looks familiar to some of the products that I...

Hi,

I'm interested in finding out how this performs.

Does anyone know if 'Jeff from Indiana' frequents other forums, that we may be able to contact him through?

My daughter was in email contact with him, but he failed to reply to a email a...

Try Exotic blanks, they do bakelite blanks.

There was a group buy put together towards the end of last year from them.

Don't know if this is worth considering, I was in Bunnings yesterday and seen a benchtop made up of short lengths, going horizontal, but staggered in the glue up, like a brick wall.

That is 1 very fantastic pen box you've got there:2tsup:

If your not careful you'll lose the pen there!
There is such nice grain in that wood.

OK, Contact has been made, he's in the navy and is at sea at the moment, so that explains the delay.

Just in time for time in the shed this weekend.

Its a little like the excitement of xmas...

A few details for those that have the kits.

The nib fits into a holder that came with the nibs. This allows for the nibs to be easily removed and changed. The holder is sized to press into a...

PM sent yesterday , but no reply to my PM yet.

Fingers crossed, it will be before the weekend, so I can work on it over the weekend.

Thanks to the organisers.

My daughter and her pen swap...

Hi,

In the last group buy, I got some Calligraphy Dip pens kits.

So here is the result of my first attempt.

No bushes, no preset finishing thickness to fit a kit, which made it interesting....

This is disappointing to see how this has unfolded. This was our first pen swap, both for myself and my daughter and understood that is was to be a one on one swap with an overseas partner.

Looks good,

Better than my first attempt at one of these.

The shape looks good, at least its still got its wings.

I had watched the videos some time back and figured I'd like to see how I...

These look interesting. Not wanting to take this off topic, but I've had a bit of a google around and can find lots of finished products but not the...

There seems to be a few people from the last swap who had swap partners that didn't complete their end of the swap.

Did anyone keep tabs on who didn't keep their end of the deal. Is there some way...

The missing nibs arrived in the mail today.
