machine

Needed to try making a bowl on me new lathe after down sizing to a coronet Herald and the machine past with flying colours nice little machine it turned this 9” Tazza with ease ok I couldn’t give the machine the same welly as the bigger machines Im used to but on projects this size it was fantastic

I have decided to invest in an engineering lathe for Kitless/ bespoke pens and am completely uninitiated with such equipment. Cutting threads has been too hit and miss on my record DML320. On good advice, I think the issue is the tail and headstock are not aligned and there appears no way of...

Spent best part of two days modifying my machine,had fun ,next challenge coming up. Peter.:goesred:

Uri Tuchman, craftsman, artist, engineer, engraver. For anyone making dipping pens Uri builds the must have. A pen dipping machine. The machine dips the pen, which is held in a hand carved crabs claw, in the inkwell then gives it two shakes to get rid of the excess. YouTube He builds amazing...

Two examples one of a worn discarded tool used to make this type of coin at the Mint here. and one of the coins I watched them making. A mate of mine has worked there from an apprentice in the workshop to around 40 yrs of service now.WAtching the machine spray the colour in the centre was almost...

Any Brits using aircon in the shed? If you are, what make of machine are you using? Cheers, Paul.

I tried posting this in the General section but could not do it for some reason. We have all seen scary videos of turning but for me this must be one of the worse, i am not sure if he is trying to commit suicide. Things i noticed 1/ the adjustments taking place......... with a club hammer 2/...

Not looking to start an arguement but just wondered about peoples feelings about what is & what isn't acceptable when it comes to woodworking tools, I had origianlly started typing this on dalboys post about the blue textured bowl after he had mentioned that cnc wasn't woodworking but then...

Hi all... I fancy having a go at pyrography.... I do this Woodturning thing for fun... I don’t sell things or do this in any professional way so ...with that as a background.... What’s the recommendations for possible machine choice? Thanks in advance Kevin:banana:

I have been asked by my dear mum for a bowl she can give to a dear friend as a Christmas present. The friend is quite religious so I cleaned the inside so the finish did not give any problems when using the Pyrography machine. I am happy with the outcome just hope it is what is needed. I have...

I thought that as I had finished the Half Track that I wanted to just do a simple piece of turning. Looking for your thoughts on this in regards to the question below. I keep looking at this bowl which is not yet finished foot still needs to be taken off and more cleaning of the edge. Would this...

Saturday the weather took a break from rain and I was able to pick up my new planer. Powermatic 15HH. I have been wanting to upgrade for a couple of years. An awesome machine, 3hp helical head with carbide cutters. Can't believe how quiet it is. Selling pen blanks is finally paying off.

Hi all, Ive been wanting a scroll saw for a while now and due to the fact that I get a million and one off cuts on a regular basis now, I can't think of a better way to use them up than Intarsia. Being new to this side of things, can anyone recommend a mid range machine? I know Axminster do a...

As many know I make toys and also the occasional Intarsia work as well as the turning. Anyway I had some gift cards for Axminster for a present so yesterday about 2 pm I ordered a little toy to add to the workshop I asked for it to be sent standard delivery so did not expect it until the new...

Well, I'm at A&E ? Today is not a good day. I decided to go horse riding this morning, something I haven't done in many years. It turned out to be a big mistake! I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then we went a little faster; before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse...

So me and the wife went down town to buy a few things. I asked if we could go into a few shops we don't normally go in. She seemed surprised, since I hate shopping, but agreed. I couldn't fid what I was looking for so I eventually came clean and told her I wanted a pasta machine. She got quite...
