Hi all Regarding the calibre debate, must say I much prefer .177 but i'm not fussy, if a gun comes up that I like i'm not that bothered if it's any of the other calibres :D I have a few Weihrauch rifles too.. HW35s.. Left HW35k Right HW35export but simply marked 'EUSTA' HW35 Hofmann...

Hi all Dragging up an old thread now!! I swapped my Record wood turning lathe for this Granville, It's a cracking machine too, I haven't got it set up yet though as my garage is still full of stuff out of my shed after it collapsed! :o I've reset the jaws after giving the chuck a clean and...

Glad you answered that question tagnut as I had no idea what it was!!! Think I got the hatchet/hammer thingy from the local bootsale years ago!! Eifion, you'll need some tongs too for holding the workpiece unless you're going to use Mole grips or similar.. The strange hammer type thing is a...

Hi I mounted mine the same way as Ged suggested, I stood the anvil on the stump, drew around the foot then removed it and routed the footprint out.. EDIT- Forgot to say, I have used it since I took the pic but not very much as I can't get in to it since my shed collapsed and it's contents...

Hi Dreadhead I have a Record 24DML, I also have a set of wood chucks and a set of chisels if they're of interest at all.. From memory the lathe is a five speed and will take a 24" workpiece.. Don't have photos of the lathe but here's a pic of one that I borrowed from the net!! Marples...

Hi I bought a couple of Tilleys a few weeks ago as 'do-er uppers!', the glasses were missing and mantles shot.. I'm not sure if anything else is missing though :confused: I also have a couple of Vapalux too, i'll have to get around to firing up the good one!! Cheers, John :)

Hi Ogri here's the pocket knife, I think it's a promotional piece, seems like it's never been out of the cheap plastic sheath! For some queer reason Photobucket saw fit to rotate this pic through 90˚ :confused: Been to a bootsale this morning and bought an Oriental plaque that...

Ha ha!! Cheers lads- I didn't read the description as it seems! :o It's much older than I thought it would have been then!!! Ta, John :)

Hi all Went to the local bootsale this morning, it was hectic!! I bought this little (13/4 pint) kettle and meths burner and wondered if anyone on here had heard of them before?? It seems to be made of tinned steel (much like a baked bean can :o ) I can't seem to find out anything about...
