Tom, Thanks again, That art a good brick, By the way tha left thi little red torch,

Thats ok Put it in the bin, I have a drawer full of those and thanks for the lathe, its a belter,

in place and ready for my first project

stand by for that,,,,,,,,,,,

If they were still used you could make umpteen sock darning mushrooms.

My first project Anne is a fake owl, You put them in the garden to stop the pigeons taking the food for the birds, similar to,
this

Tom, how does Anne know that you don't use socks anymore?

Tonker…. Didn’t Tom once put a video of himself wandering about his garden naked? No underpants either.

I did indeed Anne ,,

I saw it too whooooo.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Don’t understand what that’s supposed to convey, not the foggiest.

Tom….. I don’t really know much about lathes but yours doesn’t look too secure or mounted on a very stable base. I remember my son having to add much more support to the floor in his workshop when he moved his lathe.

I’ve got a lathe for sale big but I am not at home now so can’t tell you what size it is If you are still looking for the right one next week I’ll be home .I am in north Wales though
It’s got lots of good


quality chisels too
Shed full of tools for sale as well

Anne if you look proper he has just put it down on the washing machine,

Yes bentlegs, but it does say “In place and ready to go” along with what appears to be a row of possibly wood chisels and connection to power.

Yes Anne you're right, It is ready to go, that is a solid top and its screwed down, I've just done some trial cuts and its ok,

If it’s satisfactory…. “Gerr on wi it”

Anne BB photo is a bloke retching at the thought of tomplum in the buff

whats all the fuss about ? baz has the same body as mine, A white male , arms, legs, yed, feet and dangly bits, OK mine needs ironing a bit,
Grow up,

Owl looks as if it is carved. How are you going to make one of those on a lathe?

Sorry shouldn't laugh

Tom

I once made a wooden reading lamp on a wood lathe, it is known as 'wood turning' and I rooined me first attempt, because I forgot to put the hole through the middle of the lamp for the electric wire, before I started the wood turning, yoo drill the hole through the middle first, other wise it comes out sideways, so bear that in mind, and the wood I used was from an old table leg

Friend of mine is a turner, and he swears by Cherry wood.
Hardwoods can be quite expensive these days.

I normally carve my owls etc. with a chain saw.

Still plenty more tools left if anyone needs them, not expensive.

Tomplum may well be wasting his time

mine will be armed with big stick concealed under a Tea Towel ,

So I'm trying a few ideas out,
the Teet owl

That table leg yoo are using is identical to the table leg I used for me lamp, it isn't oak is it, so is it beech ?

I've norro clooo mate,

What happened to Cordy?

We dunno Platty his last post was May 2020 and I hope he is ok and, If he pops up and wants the Lathe, I will sell it to him for what i paid bentlegs,

I can't be fairer than that,

Have you got a radio drill ?
