Hi,
Nice one Gary; good luck with your quest of finding the radio you want on eBay; I bet its not a DAC 90 you are after?
Yes it's standard practice Big Al but for a novice not easy to work out how to grip larger material than a chuck will directly accept. Many times it takes longer to get the lathe set up than to do the actual turning. When I was taught lathe work as an apprentice I think we only had access to independent four jaw chucks and at first it proved very difficult adjusting these chucks but as with many things practice helps a great deal.
Bron and I have been expecting either a phone call or a visit to collect the final load of logs which were ready just needing lifting into the vehicle with all the hard work already done. Well the phone call nor visit has happened so I've taken control and just done two trips to the local tip and finally we are clear of the conifer.
We've been let down by people collecting free logs from us a number of times; usually they collect a number of full loads promising to collect the remainder then never phone us or visit us again leaving us "hanging behind the door". In future all garden debris which cannot be shredded goes to the tip; we are taking back full control of our lives; enough is enough.

I've been doing a bit more web browsing regarding soda blasting and found the above video on YouTube which gives an honest insight into owning one of these blasters; as expected it's a love hate relationship but at least I now know what to expect. Having just returned from the tip I've cleaned the car out but put the protective rugs back in ready for when we collect the blaster tomorrow. It's interesting to learn the blaster we are collecting works down as low as 15psi for gentle blasting; at this pressure with soda it would clean teeth?
I've got plenty of decent paint spraying kit with the compressors and guns but have only ever sprayed lacquers such as cellulose and spraying has been limited to very few days of the year otherwise "blooming" would be a problem; for those unfamiliar with the term "blooming" it's when say gloss black is sprayed only for it to turn virtually white due to atmospheric conditions; when this happens its sure to wind up the key in anyone's back so recently I've been brush painting which really does take a lot of practice if good results are to be obtained.
I'm using machine enamel these days and it's occurred to me I could possibly spray this enamel because I don't think it's prone to blooming although I would have to pick my day otherwise I might end up with lumps of tree sticking to the finish? I'll wait and see what the weather is like and what mood I'm in when it comes to painting the bandsaw? I can do a good job either brushing or spraying but spraying is much quicker even taking into account any masking involved and gun cleaning.
We are expecting visitors shortly time so to go.
Kind regards, Col.
