Could be even more underhanded, the add revenue from the videos will now go to the claimant iirc. It would be worth striking against hundreds of vids, some would be disputed but many wouldnt....

Using something like the Acebeam w30 flashlight might be better, and no chance of blinding the poor starlings

Hi Steve, could you p.m me your email address, this site is too out of date to bother with. Thanks,

Benjamin.

Hi I (think) I just sent you a p.m reply Steve, hopefully it went through, this site is quite frustrating to use sometimes!

Hi

Thanks for the link, ive managed to find my copy of the manual but am still unsure! I dont have access to my lathe for the next few weeks so cant compare the two.

I think I'll just list it together.

Would you be able to suggest a fair price?

Thanks again!

Benjamin.

Hi all,

I have a harrison L5 taper turning attachment that im going to be selling, I just wanted to know if anyone knows of a parts list for it so i can check its actually all there? It has a topslide and screw with it, however im not sure if these are just spares from my lathe or if they indeed come as part of the attachment?

Also any any suggestions as to a fair price to list it for would be very welcome.

Thanks for any input

Small dish of cheapo larger works. A few Left around the base near plants needing protection, they are attracted into it and there they stay, untill you tennis racket them over into a field that is cheaper than the pellets too

It looks like the high temp version needs heating for an hour, i dont think the "regular" stuff does. Glad this was shared, good to know about. seems like fantastic stuff! It reminds me of the silver, gold and bronze clays for jewlery making, but thay needs to be heated quite a lot.
The heat block stuff looks good too!
Thread: Very soft stretchy rubber grommets, where from?

Forgot about that stuff Neil, if i remember it can go pretty hard after a while... for any small low repeat/single use molds I need I use a mix of the aforementioned el cheap-o silicone sealant and Corn flour!....it doesn't set that fast though. Flexible but not all that stretchy.

Ian, search watchmaker die plate. Several size dies are all on one plate, they usually come with the silly tiny taps too. Hope this helps!
