Don't be surprised if it doesn't cut with all the teeth, none of them do,

Roy.

They are great books, I have them both in hardback.

They give an idea when the currency changed, the engine one is 1969 and cost 18 shillings and the boiler one is 1971 and cost £1-25.

I still have a read through them, they are well worn.

Roy.

I've got one like that, had it at least 25 years, got it in buy and queue for £30.

it, s done everything I needed.

Roy.

If it's any help, when I spin my spindle in neutral I get a lot of rattling, turned out it was the turny bits the chuck key fits into, I wrapped a turn of tape round the chuck and .............total silence.

now I know what it is i can ignore it.

Roy.

Oh gawd, that didn't come out the way it was meant.

it was just a play on words; chilli con carne= silicon carney.

sorry Diane.

Roy.

A bead of silicon carney should do the trick.

Roy.

Ow blow it, I read the title and thought it would be about keeping warm at night.

oh well.

'sigh'

I discovered that Isopropanol is great for removing it before it sets.

Roy.

can't see properly but the lever coming from the centre boss looks like it's got a flat on it.

it doesn't just unscrew from the boss, does it?

Roy.

I think it's British humour, Americans can't do it and some don't even understand it.

like the bit when they made the fuel tank, " I'm using aluminium because that's how it's spelt".

priceless.

It's certainly an interesting method, I don't think I'd like to try it tho.

the whole series is good, I love the home made lifting jig. ( im ) patiently awaiting the next episode.

on the same subject, have you watched this guy.

**LINK**

nowhere near as funny tho.

I watched this earlier. simply brilliant, Chris is an inspiration to all of us.

I've watched the whole series and the one thing I don't get is, I have the same lathe, why doesn't mine make stuff like that.

Roy.

That's the thing with Chris at Clickspring, he makes me feel so dam' inadequate.

whats really annoying is, I've got the same lathe, doesn't seem to work the same for me. Sigh.

Oh well, one can dream.

Roy.

He does turn a spigot on the superglue chuck that fits in the flywheel hole so that should stop it flying off sideways.

he must also be able to get better superglue over there than the watered down rubbish on sale here.

Roy.

you can have a Lidliction

Roy

Oh well, it looks like I stand corrected ( again)

I've never seen a 3 jaw chuck with reversible jaws, how does that work?

I think I'll keep my mouth shut in future.

Roy.
