I have just had an enquiry from a lady wishing to purchase a lathe for her husbands birthday. She is looking to spend about £250 – Anybody know of a lathe going spare? Please drop me an e mail.

Attached is a video by Richard Raffan outlining the use of Chucks & Jaws. In the video, Richard Raffan demystifies chuck jaws for woodturning. He also offers tips on how to mount your work on the lathe safely and without marring your project as well as why he uses a spigot wherever possible.

I have just received the following e mail from Chris Pouncy (Robert Sorby Tools)
“Following on from yesterdays briefing from the Prime Minister and on health policy from Head Office we are regretfully cancelling all events in March, April and May. Events later in the year will be considered closer to the dates and when we know more about the virus. Many clubs and stores have already cancelled events some for two and some for three months.
This means that the demo scheduled for Tuesday 12th May 2020 has been cancelled.
I hope that we may be able to reschedule later in the year but that would of course depend on suitable dates being available.”
No doubt our Committee will be discussing the way ahead for our club in light of any further announcements by the government.
