Thaiguzzi, very nice job you've done there !.

Sort of a workshop tool !!. Definitely the most useful thing Ive ever made, a folding beam woodsplitter, or one of em. I must have split many tons with the one at the back. Only about 7 ton splitting pressure, but gets through most things.

Richard Cranium, thats a good'n.

I know a bloke who ate a yoghurt that had been in his fridge for a YEAR, perfect.

+ 1 John, couldnt agree more. Why change something that doesnt need changing. Some whingeing ba.....s out there.

Hello Glenn, any pictures of the Diamond T !. I think there has been one in a field by the motorway for years, near Bridgewater, almost covered now!.

At least you can adjust the tailstock to compensate for base wear after 50 years of use !. It could be the new Ard hinge.......

Greenwood Tools are very expensive compared to JB Cutting Tools !.

Here's me rotary...

Did anyone see the Rossi - Marquez saga from Sepang on Sunday !!. I reckon Marquez was asking for it.....

Hello all, + 1 on wearing lightweight gloves while working at the lathe. Keep your hands out of the way !!.

John Thorne, lovely work there. Worth an article in MEW .

Here you go........

John, I did realise what you meant about Norton .

Hey, Nortons are allright !. I like mine anyway .

Seriously, I, perhaps like a lot of people, look forward to the Bodgers Lodge posts, the machining that is !.Not geeky rubbish as Herbert says.Ive learnt a lot, especially his belt drive mod to the lathe. I converted my DSG to the same, hell of a difference. Zapp Automation in Poole are good for gears and pulleys (no connection).

Hello all, yes, seems someone has claimed them for a new home

Hello all, Im having a sort out and realise Ive too many micrometers. So, if anyone out there is perhaps just beginning the machining hobby, and needs or would like a 0-1 and a 1-2 inch imperial micrometer, you are welcome to them. They are both Shardlow of Sheffield and in good condition. I will send FOC to the first to PM me. Thanks.

Wandered into our local railway workshop, and there was the A4 , 60009. Very unusual. Turns out it broke down at Newton Abbot, and ended up here with badly knackered bearing (l/h of the 3 I think). Causing a lot of trouble by all accounts because its supposedly hasnt been long in for repair at Crewe. I was told it is supposed to be pulling the royal train in Scotland in a couple of weeks, so the owner is not happy. The offending wheel set is on the right of picture. Big job !!..

Windy,cracking pictures, some interesting stuff there !.

Finished off my changewheel to belt drive conversion ( JS design) on my lathe. Well worth it for the noise reduction.

Thanks for the replies. It now appears I was successful after all on madmodder, and had a reply from him. Cheers.
