    Memorial Day Concert

    Am I banned then? Is this your version of free speech? You are a young nation formed from the dregs we let go. You may never learn the lessons of history 'cos your history is taught from 365 channels of nothing on your TV's All this from the nation that thinks cheese comes from an aerosol can !

    Memorial Day Concert

    Do you know your history? Please explain America's late entry into WWII? Hollywood might give you an impression, but many lives had already been lost before you saw a reason to fight.

    Memorial Day Concert

    It was a buffalo soldier in the heart of America, stolen from Africa, brought to America: Fighting on arrival,fighting for survival. I mean it, when I analyse the stench, to me it make a lot of sense. How did dreadlock rasta was buffalo soldier. And he was taken from Africa, brought to...

    Memorial Day Concert

    I will get mad at those who choose to glorify war, I choose to get extremely mad at those who choose to glorify America's twisted & warped version of war.

    Can you give the rest of the world an insight into your views on the freedom of . . . let's make it easy & say the people of Palestine?

    Memorial Day Concert

    With the greatest respect, you're talking Merrykun here aren't you? Are you fully aware just how much the rest of the world hates your foreign policy? If anyone wish's to glorify 'the good ole USA's' approach to diplomacy, then please be prepared to have a few of your illusions shattered by us...

    Yale Lab accident?

    Everyone told me to get my hair cut, I didn't listen . . . . I knelt down to look along the axis & the end of my pony tail got caught in the slow speed, power feed. Lathes & long hair DO NOT mix well.

    BEGINNER - Where do I start?

    What you are looking at Gazatteer, are nowt more than pictures ont' t'internet. Before you committ yourself to parting your hard earned on these particular pictures, I hasten to add that I too have lots of pictures of knackered & semi knackered lathes that I hope you would consider purchasing...

    BEGINNER - Where do I start?

    If you need referance info on a lathe you might be interested in then this site is awesome : http://www.lathes.co.uk/emco/page3.html This Unimat 3 is the smallest you'd want to go, as part of your 'discovery' process you need to ID what sort of stuff you could make on one. Google it, there's...

    BEGINNER - Where do I start?

    I don't like to use words such as cheap or expensive, I prefer to use words like value for money or affordable. Sad but true, I bought a few items from a chap selling his dads lifetime collection on eBay, a dealer had offerred him £500 for the whole workshop, he was up to £7k when I picked up...

    BEGINNER - Where do I start?

    I needed a bigger lathe but an ML7 is what I'd go for if my use was limited to a hobby. They are much sought after & even the knackered one's are bought by those savvy enough to restore them & sell on for parts or profit. The best one's tend to come available 'cos grandads passed away ! If...

    BEGINNER - Where do I start?

    The way I started . . . I bought a part to modify my motorbike for £60, very usefull & a worthwhile mod to the original. It was basically a £2 lump of ally CNC'd to shape, drill a few holes & et voila'. Everyone I knew with the same bike wanted one . . . there was a profitable market which the...

    Lathes gone Phutt !

    I've looked but cannot see anything obvious, the Chinglish manual has a laffable interpretation of possibly some other machines wiring diagram which doesn't indicate any fuses. I'm assuming that the circuit breakers is all there is.

    Lathes gone Phutt !

    Went to switch on my Seig CQ6230B lathe yesterday & it immediately went sizzle/phutt. I know absolutely nothing about lektronix & as you'd need to be a contortionist to get at the electronics control box I'm reluctant to get a man in. It would mean A LOT of work to reposition the lathe. I can...

    Question about belt sanders

    I bought one of these : http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-cs4-6d-belt-and-disc-sander It's a fairly generic Chinese made item, sold all over the world with differant badges & sometimes higher quality & spec' than this particular doorstop. I've only ever found 1 supplier...

    Anodizing..another expirement...larger part this time.

    I use a '720 rule' calculator I got from somewhere, I tell it the surface area & desired depth of anodise & it tells me what amps to give it for up to 90mins, it also gives me a peak voltage to expect. What the volts are doing is an indication of whether you're doing it right, the amps are...

    Anodizing..another expirement...larger part this time.

    My power supply is a Skytronic ? ? ? which can output up to 10amps. I'm absolutely hopeless when it comes to Lecktronics so forgive me if I can't be more specific, when I read about technical specs like regulated & ac/dc all I see is #@$$% & @#//*. I have 2x dials with 2x displays, it's...
