Here's exactly what you're after, made by Addo. He's certainly a dab hand at diy kit; http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86608&highlight= Here's my attempt at similar, not what I'd call lightweight by any stretch though...

Sounds like a heart attack on a plate Pete! Gutted I missed it. Thanks for sharing pics Steve and Martin, looks like another great one that I missed out on. Will be at the November meet with Joseph, see you then.

Awesome time, venue was amazing and the company top class as always. Kids being kids, running around, fishing, boating, swimming, this is how it should be! I'll get some pics up in the next couple days if my pc co-operates. Thanks for having us

It was 30+ every day bar two of them. Have to say I like Cumberland even more than Courtenay/Comox, it's more rootin tootin. It's like my hometown moved from the prairies to the mountains. But the beer of choice there is Lucky Lager instead of Pilsner and the jobs are logging instead of oil...

Welcome to the forum Cory. I just got back from visiting my parents for 3 weeks in Courtenay/Comox. Lovely part of the world. I'm from the prairies myself but only live up the road from Oxford. Plenty to learn and do in England as well as on the forum...

I agree authority figures aren't above the law. This has nothing to do with a shop teacher teaching shop class. Give it a rest mate...

The original post posed a question, various people using this specific equipment have said yes they would use emery cloth to polish metal on a lathe or drill. It's an accepted practice in machine/engineering shops the world over. Yes it requires attention, but yes it's done on a regular basis...

Thousands of students in years of teaching and one accident. Not sure that equates to bad teaching as much as the law of averages. Your attitude sounds on par with modern parenting vs education, kids can do no wrong, it's always the teacher's fault. I can say from first hand experience you can...

Who says the teacher is incapable of using a lathe? There's always risk of entanglement with a lathe, hence the need for constant vigilance. Human nature dictates you can preach/practice safety until you're blue in the face but accidents will still happen on occasion.

I use emery cloth every day at work on lathes. However, I was taught not to drop it behind the spinning work piece. Reason being if it goes slack and folds on itself it'll pull your hand in. When a work piece is spinning I hold the top and bottom of the emery strip in each hand and move it...

Away for this one. Have a good one gents...

Great stuff, thanks for sharing

Have a good one guys, wedding anniversary so we're off glamping

Will you be bringing us a bottle to the next meet you attend Andy? I'm sure we've had similar in the past... On a serious note, sad news indeed.
