Yea, patio done!! (keeps the wife happy), so completed me loom on the kit this week.
Those lathes you said about; i take it they havent been converted to single phase??, i used to have a colchester student years ago which i regret selling, but i converted that to single phase, and if i could get one for the right money, then i wouldnt mind doin it again-can you find out for me?

I'll scan and email to you as soon as I can get my hands on it

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Hector, i asked my pal about the lathe, its a Boxford aud, variable speed, needs a phase converter. £1000 i think he wants for it, if he still has it.
