He said “scrap price is £220 a ton at the momen” 🤦‍♀️😭

@@CalamityKim1 I can imagine him saying something like that 😂😂😂 as long as your happy with it that’s the main thing👍 MINT👌👌

@@CalamityKim1 I'd paint it red... his favourite colour! Not🙂

@@CalamityKim1 I did not !!!! ...it's £170.

Do it!

Oh absolutely, it makes such a difference.

Hi John, thanks for the comment. I mean the electrics on the VFD are mostly signal or Extra love voltage. Other than the main power feed and the motor feed. I’m glad I didn’t go too far with it. It’s quite easily done isn’t it!

@@CalamityKim1 Yes, I’d guess so. Of course anything that can create or store a magnetic field can bite in a memorable kind of way. And it happens… but you didn’t toss in extra details about that wiring, which is why I felt you struck a great balance. And you’re genuine. I believe that’s appreciated. It’s tiring watching someones perfectly manicured backgrounds and scenarios, as if somehow those things will create the illusion of competence. Although many of them are I’m sure. I think you know what you’re doing and perfect as you are.

You Steve. I haven’t actually touched the lathe since my last video. I’ll see if I can faff about with it soon.

Nothing but the best haha

In my shed? 🤦‍♀️☺️

🤣 as if any man reads a manual? 😂

I look at the pictures.

Hi there. Thank you for that but I do already have a paper copy a friend kindly gave me 😬

@@CalamityKim1 hello, no worries, I actually went and picked up the master 6.5” that I won on eBay today, bit of a drama, as it fell over, while trying to put it in the back of the trailer, it’s heavy 😳, a stressful day tbh but very happy, that I know have a decent lathe, I’ll watch your other vids and might even start making some of my own, I have a box full of cutting bits, maybe 50+ in holders, looks like there’s a bit of a Colchester lathe community on KZfaq, so if you need anything specific, just ask, i might have it. I do need to get it running, as it wouldn’t start, on collection, I will have to get into the electrics, it’s going to be a bit of a mission 🤔.

Hi Chris, I very much did. I liked your videos. Thanks for sharing 😁

@@CalamityKim1 thanks you , subbed 🙂👍

Thanks Jim 😊, I’m not sure to be honest. I never bothered to check 😁. From memory I think some of it was witworth. The bed piece was anyway. I wouldn’t be happy drilling it out and tapping it if I could avoid it. Thanks Kim 😊

He works for me 🙈 I pay him in sausage rolls and cake.

Thank you 😊, I’m going to leave it as it is. I hate painting.

So the oil is ISO32. I’m not sure how often it should be changed but I will certainly keep on top of it.

@@CalamityKim1 what is that a monograde hypoid ? I'll look it up.

I haven’t actually bought specifically for it. I bought the belt from lathes Uk which were brilliant to deal with.

Thanks Kim. Keep up the good work. Very inspiring😀

Hi, I viewed a load of designs online then designed mine from ideas of all of them.

I just look on Google, lathes UK is a good source though.

Lathe spares Uk or something like that, as well as eBay

Hi Gerry, yes it was but I have got a replacement since. Annoyingly it needs sizing however.

I kind of like it natural as it is. Would be nice on one respect but then it would stand out. Thank you though :)
