It is not only £1.50 it is also your time at £60 per hour (overtime rate) plus potentially your solicitor's time at £150 per hour etc.

You have always been asked to take tops off containers, whether metal or plastic. Apart from the colour they are often a different recycling category typically 2 for the container and 5 fro the lid (not milk bottles though).

According to the Cromwell link it is 38" BSP, That's one hell of a big pipe! Are you offering to attach your cylinder to the UK North Sea gas main to solve our energy problems?

You also mentioned the box has a current drain even when open circuit. This is to be expected with an old and large capacitor. Often with equipment with well under than 25 years on the clock you need to replace the capacitors to restore proper performance or even avoid fatal damage if trying out your old 1980s computer.

The mention of a Ford Pop by Samsarand reminded me of my mother's first car. I can still instantly remember the registration number sixty years later but struggle to remember the whole of the number of the car I was actually driving half an hour ago. Age?

There is an informal group meeting near Barnstaple otherwise the nearest proper club is Plymouth I think. However there have been a number of people come on the forum from your general area.

Where too you be livin? Good club at Exeter - EDMES - meets at St Katherine's Priory by Morrissons.

The pin works ok on thousands of Drummonds and a smaller pin on thousands of RanAs. For most people drilling a hole is easier than milling a keyway. Take your pick.
If you need a safety feature fit a brass pin?

If the die is a good quality one that actually cuts rather than a modern cheap junk one that sort of squashes the material into submission you can use it a a thread chaser by opening it out and interposing some plastic shim under one set of 'teeth' to push the bar over or some rod into the holes to push the rod off-centre.

My apologies to Mr Orwell in miscrediting his work, I had started writing on a different book and got muddled.

This is just censorship which is just a form of control and dominance that is part of the human psyche. Any group from a small gathering of a club, a village community, church, religious sect, social media forum, company, has a number of individuals who wish to impose their ideas and 'standards' onto the rest and censure those who do not comply. These people can become pressure groups and activists and gather greater powers. They always have an excuse - HSE, your protection, provide you with personalised content etc.

At a wider level this is seen in institutions such as the BBC, and of course is fundamental to government which is entirely about control and dominance of the general population. When it goes 'bad' you get the KGB and the Stasi looking over your shoulder, reading your correspondence, hiding round corners and listening in to find ways to subjugate you and force compliance.
Epitomised in the book 1984 by A.Huxley even before the internet entered every home and provided an embryo of the two way screen to spy on you, the population.

Won't happen in the UK? We have just seen, in Parliament no less, that activists snooping on someone's private phone then mobilised activists to destroy their victim's career. Tacitly approved by your elected representatives. Be afraid, be very afraid.

The original poster Chris says he has a manual. He hasn't posted since Sept 2019 so hope he is ok and a PM might reach him, or the moderators might have a way of contacting him. It seems he moved on to a Karger lathe only a few months after getting the Lang.

Either start with a good pallet sawn to the best size and secure the head to that really well before putting a basic box over it or maybe ask around your local industrial estate for something, Check whether the movers will be stacking stuff on it.There is an ideal lathe transport box of 1in real planks in one in Watford at the moment.

Why don't these tools just let you 'pick up' item one, twiddle it round to be upside down, and push it down onto roughly the right place on item two. Then press a special button "use your megadoodles of computing power that cost me and arm and a leg and join these bits". Like a drag and drop editing in Word manages to put the words into the sentence with spaces not splodge them on top of each other.

So if destroying the LW transmitters has a nasty side effect it behoves our enemies to make sure Rugby is not damaged. I'm going to look for a small holding as close as possible to the Tx, plant a coppice for fuel and some shatterproof greenhouses with filtered air.

Phew, only 2001. I was thinking from that statement it was a pre-WW2 design. This is like a few weeks ago to most of us so haven't got round to it yet.

As this is Al can this kind of job be done with simple propane rather than acetylene or is the heat too diffuse?

The MD65 has taper roller bearings which 99% of people would consider preferable. Plain bearings would only be chosen nowadays for ultra smooth no play bearings for a watchmaker or precision lathe.

Are you planning parallel bearings? How will you adjust them after splitting within the design of the Hobbymat head casting?

For readers not familiar with the MD65 spindle see this website

Or scroll down to the bottom of this page and find the link 'get woodworking' then find their forum.

The problem with methane is that it burns more slowly and needs more air relative to the volume of gas. Therefore in an old Bunsen burner the flame will rise up above the end of the tube when you turn the throttle up as it win't burning as fast as the gas was coming out of the tube. As the gas spreads out at the end of the tube it slows down which is why it was able to burn fast enough a little above the end of the tube. The flame is then susceptible to drafts and can blow out.
So the burner end is modified with an additional ring fed by holes so some gas can slow down and ignite just above the end of the tube. This part of the flame is able to reignite the main jet.

It may just be a case of finding the design of the replaceable brass nozzle bit.
