Thanks Hughie.

Ebay is also worth searching from time to time for wood turning titles.

Thanks mate, but they don't stock the one I'm after. Haven't seen it on Ebay, nor can I source it in through Collins. Dammit! :mad:

Anyone know where I can find "Beyond Basic Turning: Off-Centre, Coopered & Laminated Work" by Jack Cox?

Skew..., check back later as they continually change. They re sell excess stock etc from various books shops. Failing that heres some links that I have used, if that fails I have a dozen or so more, one way or another you should find your book.

But on another note your saw dust furnace. I have located everything except the darn 30gal drum, never seen one?? Hughie

Buggrit! I googled "Beyond Basic Turning" but got so many hits I was lost in 30 seconds. I never thought to try the whole damned title.

I tried Abes, which is basically just a listing of independant book-sellers, but every hit it gave me turned out to be a case of "Oh, we sold that just the other day."

I can't say I've ever seen a 30 gal drum either, I used a 20gal. You can also get 12gal, I think. It may be possible to pick up a 125-150ltr drum nowadays, I haven't really looked. Mine was a Forfane II (trichlorofluoromethane, I think. :eek: ) chemical drum, but I'm pretty sure they still use 'em for fuel oil and the like as well. Not quiklok tops like the 44's, but still usable with a little ingenuity.
