Hey moby turn up at proserpine next weekend and you should score some there
Cheers
Chris

Very nice - You can use them for peanuts and lollies at parties

I see you talking about grease nipples. I would be wary if you are thinking of trying to add these as it is not good to have grease around your projects, finishes and grease don't mix. Remember the...

I've had one of these for 5 years which I brought off Dave Drescher (South East Queensland Woodworking Supplies) and had no problems at all. Small lathe small work Last year I brought the big brother...

I'm a white spirit man and it works a treat

And the same to all from me
New years resolution is to get into this forum more often
Happy New Year
Chris

Ha You won't see all the other stuff once you start turning - The shavings will cover it.http://d1r5wj36adg1sk.cloudfront.net/images/smilies/happy/biggrin.gif

Mr mobyturns I didn't think you did any yapping at prossie:U

:2tsup:

I will be there and found out last my mate Dave from Mt Isa is coming too - must start putting my list together

Thats good -
will see you there

I have a piece or two of conkerberry I'll put in

Thanks

Just noticed Con has placed the application form on their site, not sure how to place a link to it maybe someone could do it for me. See you there.

A bit far for us in the north to travel to but we are looking forward to Proserpine the first weekend in November I believe these are the best places for novices to expand their knowledge

Thanks HazzaB I"ll pm him

Well done HazzaB
Was wondering who laser len is - I haven't heard of him and how much does he charge for the engraving and how many do you have to get done
Thanks and again Well done

We found this one on the web, around half a kg and the safety guys are looking at it - of course it won't suit people with beards could always shave in a decorative line so the mask seals:U But...

Welcome to the forum Mick at least you shouldn't have any trouble getting timber from here to there its a battle getting it from there to here:roll:

I sell my slims for $20

Well done Troy can see the facets on the first picture, it puts a different look on the pen, nice

If you don't want to keep the spare chuck it on ebay - you might be suprised :U

This is a bit hard to explain but here goes - The capacitor provides the push to help start the motor its all about the angle of the lead /lag between the voltage and current in the motor. If you...

Well Done:2tsup::2tsup:

Thanks for all that - all seems to be working ok now

So I should be presenting it with the long side on the tool rest

Hi all
Could I get some help please.
I just purchased a thin parting tool (as per photo) and was wondering if the angle needs changing as it tends to catch a bit during use. I have (dare I say) a...

I was lucky enough to meet Gordon at a couple of Prossie turnouts. He will be deeply missed. My condolances to his family.

Lot of thought gone into that well done:2tsup:

Very nice looking piece this is the track I want to take well done

I had a similar problem once with my mini lathe. The screw that tightens the tail spindle had been undone so that it was slipping out of the groove it was supposed to be sitting in. I would line up...

I'd get on to Dave Drescher at SE Qld Woodworking supplies and tell him where you live and he is bound to know of a club or a Turner who lives near you who would be willing to help. A pity I was in...

If you want to save electricity. I found this lathe last year in Skipton England but you need a partner to turn the large wheel

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to ALL

Chris

I agree with TTIT I have got a lot out of the Woodturning Magazine from the UK seen as I also am in Townsville we should start swaping magazines. Drop me a PM
Chris:U

Thanks for all that info I'll check them out., I've been using all sorts of finishes but some don't seem to last. I'll give this a try and see how I go. Sounds like I'll have to be patient reading...

Very nice
Any chance of getting you to describe how you applied the finish in detail

I just want to add my thanks to all Prosy members and to all who helped me during the turnout especially RobboThanks again mate much appreciated. All I can say is if you want a good weekend and learn...

It looks like Jeff has had that green tin in his hand since Proserpine:U

Wood you mind if I asked what you used to finish it with and how

Hi
Chris is the name from Townsville. Been attempting to turn for a couple of years now and joining the local woodturners club here and a visit to Proserpine has really got me under way. Thanks to...
