    Anyone own a metalworking lathe advice needed

    A tool post/tool holder needs to allow a certain amount of vertical adjustment so you can set the tool to centre height. It does look like something is missing in that picture though. I can't see how a tool would be held at all.

    Asking a landowner for permission to hunt and snare rabbits on their land.

    Have you got insurance? If I was a landowner and someone wanted to hunt it would be one of the first questions I would ask.

    Optimus 8r or 111 ?

    Go have a look on spiritburner. It's a fantastic site. My limited understanding (I have a 111T) is 111 is a pumped pressure stove and is bigger than the 8r thus more powerful. 8r can have an extra minipump & cap but normally is pressurised by the heat from the stove itself similar to the 123
