Thank you very much.

Carbide tipped tools require less skill to use and create immediate results & dont need sharpening (which is another skill), although on soft woods they leave a poor finish. They are not kind to very thin wood if fine detail shapes are required. They scrape the wood not slice it as do traditional tools. Traditional tools require more skill but are more satisfying to use when you've aquired the skill. I hope that helps.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Chestnut spray cellulose sanding sealer and Chestnut spray cellulose melamine lacquer.

Axminster I think is the better of the two. It has a more reliable drive and a threaded output drive shaft at the rear. It's also quiet and has two revolving centres. Delivery is good too.

I returned the charnwood ithad a. faulty drive.

Oh I forgot, I think the Axminster has a 3 year guarantee.

Glad you think so!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

You are welcome!

Glad to help. Happy turning.

Thankyou. There's lots to do yet, so I hope I can improve each time.

I'll keep trying thanks

Thanks, I hope I can help.

Thankyou

Hard to say as there's no documented definition, each chuck is supplied with its own chuck key when you buy it.

Its a pleasure

Hope you like them.

VEVOR Lathe Chuck 2.75" Mini Lathe Chuck 4 Jaw Self-Centering 1In x 8TPI Thread. eBay about £54. Check to see if you can buy extra jaws they may be compatible with Record Power sc2 chuck

The chuck in my video is obsolete but the "vevor" is practically the same.

@@DerekBailey-jc7rk I’m referring to the one at the end stock

I'm sorry I'm confused do you mean the tailstock. If so the chuck used in that is called a Jacobs chuck with a Number one morse taper(MT 1). You can get them from Amazon.

@@DerekBailey-jc7rk thanks 😊

Much appreciated thanks for the comment.

Sorry some times we take things for granted. If you can get your chair and knees under the lathe so that your elbow is in line with the centre height of the lathe, keep your arms against your body and slide your arms along your stomach Try not to twist your body but use it as a reference support for your sliding arms. Hope that helps. Some wheelchair turners have the lathe fixed tilted towards them so they can see the top of the gouges as they work.

Yes it's a well made lathe for the money. some of these mini lathes tend to have electronic control problems but this lathe seams to have a reliable drive.

@@DerekBailey-jc7rkthanks for the reply,do you think you can show us turning a bowl on this? Cheers 😊

Yes of course, hopefully in my next but one beginners tuition series.

Thank you I hope it helps them.

Thanks very much its very encouraging.

Glad you liked it!

The wood is already seasoned, but I get your drift. I may try a few logs and see what happens. 😊

Thanks, you too!

Caution is a good teacher. I always preferred my pupils to be nervous and not overconfident. Spindle turning is the safest start for beginners. Bowl turning comes later when you've gained confidence and tool skills. Turning pens and small items like door knobs, cord pulls, bud vases etc are very safe and give rewarding results very quickly.

@@DerekBailey-jc7rk thank you so much I look forward to your next video 🙏

My pleasure!

Thank you Oyuk from Turkey.👍

Thanks i think I've replied via email

WOW you seem to have had quite a commitment to ornamental turning. It is very encouraging to hear your remarks. I will endeavour to complete the plans ASAP. My engineering facilities amount to just a small Warco mini lathe although I have made a rose engine also, using an old fox wood lathe. Using a high speed flexible shaft attached to a router held in an X Y vice. I hope to do a video on it at a later date. Thanks for your input.

I would not say I have a commitment to ornamental turning, just an interest and appreciation. I have used a router and a rotary device on flex drive to a motor. The rotary device motor does not have much torque. Hence I prefer the router. My lathe is 16in swing, which looks to be larger than your lathe. I do not need detailed drawings. I would be happy with pictures of the components of the jig. I hope you do a video of the router and XY vise. My Rose engine jig has the router mounted on an XY table. This allows control of motion and repeatability - within the limits of the backlash issues of the cheap XY table. Dave.

Im sorry, am I missing something, what links are you refering to?

Which ones?

My pleasure!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for your comments. I'm always wary that developing impulsive ideas could become boring especially if they fail.

Thank you! Cheers! Hope it helps you.

Did ya like that😂😂😂

So am I 🤔🤞

Fingers crossed!

Yes it's more assembling and finishing than turning but can be rewarding all the same.

Thanks. I love tools I'm addicted I'm afraid. Looking for ways to use them.

Thanks having something to think about keeps me going.

Thank you, your comments keep me going.

You’re welcome 😊

Thank you! Cheers!

Next video Friday the 2 Feb all being well. Hope you like it.

Your welcome. I hope I can keep you interested.

Thanks nearly there, hope to get a demo video out this week. Then a construction video with dimensions etc.

Your welcome, not everyone has a double garage of purpose built workshop yet still enjoy woodturning.

Lots to do and not enough time in the day.
