curse that non-functioning edit button! It’s actually non existent, it disappeared a few days ago... I still see it @mattbeels. Perhaps that’s torture just for me ... “here’s the button, you can se...

@boo When I priced up flip paint from a panel factor a few years ago it was £200 per half litre so not for the amateur, but I've always wanted to try it. I've got a green bronze electric fiddle which ...

Hopefully by the weekend I will have machined the first prototype housing and I can put up some pictures to gauge opinion and I will post these under a new forum topic. No rush @darrenking, I’m tryin...

Wish I had bench space for another machine but don't know what I would throw away. You don’t need to thrown anything away @rocknroller912 - that’s the wrong way of thinking. You just need another ben...

@darrenking Looks like a great design. Maintaining torque is a big factor in any turning machine as inconsistent speeds can cause differences in the finish. Wish I had bench space for another machine ...

Just a general note: I’ve recently started designing a direct drive single head mop polisher with variable speed control (200rpm-5500rpm) powered by an almost silent 1HP servo motor (same torque at al...

Will do TV. I have just sent the drawing of the shaft over to my favourite engineering company in Sandy so I'll see what cost they come back with. I'm going to use a 750w (1HP) servo motor, designed f...

With all this glitter in stock I bet you'll be making Christmas decorations by November!! 🤣 🤣

. I have to say also that it wouldn't look correct as carved arch type instrument never have a centre strip as far as I know. Correct is in the eye of the beholder. 😉 Could you use a similar ...

Thanks @robin.

@TV101 I've also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. have you got a link to that? Here a link to same thing on ebay but from a different seller. They're listed as wood carving bits. This ...

In a way I have given up on England but there are a lot of hidden gems (heroes) here. I’m still leaving for Scotland though. There are good, and bad, people everywhere* @boo. I don’t think Scottylan...

I believe that all the logistics behind vaccine distribution is being run by the military. Want a job doing properly, ask the professionals (and I don’t mean Cowley, Bodie and Doyle). 👍 There...

Thank goodness for the live streams at least there's still life in the Bailey world That’s how it’s been for me too @rocknroller912. Carol probably thinks I’ve been joking when I’ve commented that t...
