Hi Nicholas, your post sounds a bit like what i was reading on the DVLA site , my son was given the red/blue two page V5C documents when he paid te cash and picked the van up . It has the details of the car and the sellers details printed in it on section 5 as the registered keeper ,thats all .

Thanks for all the replies,OK i`ll go into a little more detail.

My son has got himself into quite a lot of debt, he works full time but has to commute around 20 miles each way to work.

His debt is being dealt with officially through the CAB and the conditions are that he cant have a car with an value over £1000 . The car cost me £700, its actually a Corsavan , but it was quite a good deal and the value is likely to over £1000 for used value.

His previous car wouldnt have passed the MOT so he was in a bit of a mess. Cant get to work/lose job.

I decided to buy the vehicle for him but as the owner. He is the keeper , hes already sorted insurance and tax out whilst i was present so no worries about that ,and his insurance turned out almost half of what he was previous paying for the car.

All i really need is something to prove that i bought the vehicle and not my son. Just in case someone from CAB wants proof that my son doesnt own it.

I get on well with my son so not worried about anything like disputes with him.

I have read some of the links given above and read somewhere that the seller should maybe have did some sort of transfer of ownership thing and destroyed the rest of the V5C and then the DVLA would send out a new one to either me or my son? Thoroughly confused.

So should i just ask the seller to sign a receipt or something. The V5C document has the sellers details on it.

Thanks Mark

Well thats whats confusing me. How do i prove im the owner if needed?

My son  has insured it and taxed it today..

And i assume he has to send off the relevant part of the V5C to the DVLA?

Alan, why have you repeated my post?

Hi,

I just bought a used car for my son. Paid for locally with cash.Being a none driver all my life  i know virtually nothing about cars. What i want to know is that the car needs to have me as the registered owner (for reasons i dont want to get into) but my son will be the registered keeper of the vehicle,responsible for driving it insurance etc..

Ive looked online but it keeps going on about registered keepers mainly.

We were given the logbook V5C, etc..

What do i do to register as the owner???

Thanks Mark

i would stick with the pool chem if it is dry acid (sodium bisulphate) . You never know what else is in things like drain cleaners etc... containing sulphuric acid.

Im not sure i suppose your talking of so called dry acid pH reducer . Ive used it before for other things. It may work but cant be sure ,we always used sulphuric acid.

Regardless of what hes doing hes still using a final rinse of de-ionised water which is as far as i was taught is wrong. It has to be below pH of 2. I worked for a while at an aluminium extrusion plant which eventually was took over by Alco and we used to do alsorts of anodising for the MOD etc.. like missile and aircraft parts.

But this was 30 years ago so maybe things have changed.

We used to seal the coloured layer with lithium salts or sodium tetrofluoroborate solution if i remember right.

I suspect your final rinse before colouring is the problem, usually the pH of the rinse should be below 2 which means acidic.

If the rinse is too clean (and pH wrong)as with  what you would have with `deionised water`, gelatanous aluminium oxide can form in the pores which doesn`t accept dye very well and the result will  be patchy.

To remedy you would add a little acid such as sulphuric to lower the pH of the deionised water youve been using.

I have two bandsaws ,a walker turner 10" and a jet 18" ,i have replaced both tyres with this in the appropriate width . (3mm thick)

**LINK**

Cheap and has been on both saws for 3 years.

I measure calculate the circumference of the wheels and if i remember cut strips either 2/3 the circumference or 75% (cant remember) the ends are just butt jointed using a cyanoacrylate glue . The tyres are stretched over the wheels and then using a round 1/2- 3/4 put under the tyre rod i spread dunlop alpha thixofix glue under the tyres working around the whole wheel circumference then pull the rod out and let dry.

p.s the ones on the walker turner have been on aroun 6-7 years got time wrong. No sign of much deterioration or failure of superglue joint.

Mike i assume your making bows in the Hill way??? Much easier by hand

I just use gloves ,i already have eczema but not on my hands. I got sick of trying to get grime out of my hands.

Tried several brands which kept ripping (especially as i play guitar and nails on right hand a bit long) and were a bit too tight to be comfortable. Then recently bought a box of 100 Black Mamber nitrile gloves. Really great ,very tear resistant .

Beefwood is an Australian timber a bit like lacewood. Probably the person Robert Smith at timberline ?? -was confused as well.

It (Manilkara) is known as Abeille as i mentioned above ,its french word for bee and often known as bee-wood as well in English. There was 100`s of thousand ,if not millions , of bows made from the stuff of varying qualities.

Another interesting thing is that the latex rubber from these trees was used in golf balls. Called `Gutta Balata` (Balata being another name for this wood.)

Rod you have your beef and bullets mixed up, Your refering to Bulletwood also collectively known as abeille ,manilkara or massaranduba.

Yes if you dont want to be traditional. Pearl on some older makers frogs is extremely thin to start with but highly figured . pearl on Sartory frogs is one example of too often deteriorated badly. Also extremely thin metalwork on Peccattes etc..

The pearl/abalone on the slide ,which is the long rectangular piece has the purpose of covering the hair mortice.

If anyones interested one bow sold recently at auction for  1/2 million euros or thereabouts.

Mike i assume John Stagg is the maker your refering to??

I recently bought a dust deputy add on for my old Rowenta vacuum. I think its excellent ,collects wood dust plaster dust, swarf ,etc.....

You get no noticiable drop in suction at all that ive noticed,like using a new vacuum all the time.

You have to attach it to the side of the vacuum by drilling two holes but it wasnt a problem in my case . The vacuum you bought may be more difficult to attach one though as it doesnt look too high .

I had been after one of these for ages but wasnt impressed with the price ,but finally succumbed when there was a sale on.

I work with some tropical hardwoods and the less contact with dust the better for me.

I bought a new filter for the rowenta before fitting the dust deputy and the filter has almost nothing on it after a few months use. I hated cleaning those pleated paper cylinder filters.

You can get liquid latex masking from artist  suppliers which can be brushed on with a artists brush.Then paint the letters and when dry peel the latex mask off. The result will depend on how neatly you put the mask around the lettering.

The old walker turner 10" bandsaw i had came with disintegrating tyres. I just used the neoprene strip off ebay made into the correct diameter and just carefully butt jointed using super glue (the ethyl type ) . I then stretched the tyres over the wheel rims and used dunlop alpha thixofix contact adhesive to glue them to the wheels.

It has held fine for over 4 years and i use the saw almost daily.

They dont even wear gloves on the official videos. A bit silly really even if it is relatively tame compared to HF, id advise wearing gloves with any sort of chemicals.

Also a rather amusing thread on this forum. Hence why gloves should be worn.
