I'll let you judge, here's a photo from his latest picture shoot.
thing that annoys me: when acrylic pen blanks heat up to much and bubble ( yes i no its my fault ) while applying wax:eek: :(
chisels with taperd tangs...
One day I'm going to make, buy or otherwise aquire a tapered boring device so I don't have to use 27 different drills to get a tapered hole only to find that Ive turned up a beautifull handle but the fit was too tight & I've wacked thee handle on too hard & split the blasted thing.... aaaaaarrrrrrggghh
for me it has to be the dickhead doing 70 in a 100 zone.. not a problem untill they hit the only passing lane for ages and decide to do 110.
passing lane stops... back to 70 :(
Soundy, sounds like you need to make a tapered reamer, as made ingeniously by Midge in this thread.Quote:

a. when after heaps of effort you take the best bowl ever into the lounge, and as you take your first good look at it in the horizontal position decide you don't like the proportions that looked just dandy while on the chuck!
b. similarly, when you live with the next best bowl ever and one day realise in one corner there's still some obvious sanding scratches you overlooked in the workshop.
Hah! glad I am not only only one that finds flaws in the best ever bowl:D Even with all the darn lights I have fitted to avoid this --- bugger.
Hmm maybe I need new glasses:)
But my main peeve is going to buy a leg or wheely leg for your kids bed and find Bunny sell em in three packs. :mad: How B usless is that , not enough for complete bed and way more than you need at the time.

An unusual one, low hanging signs in shops. You know the sort the ones suspended from the ceiling, they never suspend them more than 6ft from the ceiling and I am taller than that.
These people are called " PASSHOLES" :cool:Quote:

I made a tapered drill bit for drilling arrow nocks using nothing more sophisticated than a disc sander and a plank of wood clamped at the appropriate angle. It works perfectly...Quote:

Another thing that gets my goat is walking past this tree every other day knowing full well that if I ever took to it with a chainsaw in the main street I would be de-testicled and run out of town with pitch forks.
:D Hard to understand why its so loved ? Bloody ugly looking thing.Quote:

thats one weird tree ( and rude too:p :p :eek: )
aww that bugger is just begging for it, maybe I have repressed tree violence issues:eek: I can smell the bar lube just looking at that photo:DQuote:

I don't have that problem any more because I put my 50mm chisel through the workshop line, and told family and freinds if they were desperate to talk to me -call me on the mobile or leave a message (notice how telemarketers don't call on a mobile !- cause it costs toooo bloody much!)
I did try playing with the telemarketers for a while but soon tired of it (although it was interesting).
Ask them where they are from, and what they will be eating tonight, and how many children they have, and what religion they practice, and what they do on the weekends, and if they like fishing, what is there favourite sit comm etc etc!
Cruel I know, cause they are only trying to make a living, but most of them , I noticed, found it interesting and humerous and wen't along with it!
Cheers:mad:
A calling number display fixes this problem.Quote:

Not on mine they don't. It comes up 'overseas' so i just pick it up, wait for the connection and hang up again. They've stopped ringing now.Quote:

Ahhhh telemarketers.
Sorry I have no sympathy what so ever for telemarketers.
When they lie thru their teeth in their opening statments.
theeves, standover merchants and swindelers have to make a living too they are in the same group as telemarketers. they do not have to make a living that way.
I think it is going to be very hard to make a living as a telemarketer in this country once the new national telemarketing laws come into effect. A government leave me alone list with huge penalties for bothering people.
cheers
I have the same issue ..... sometimes I like to make sure I run into them just to make myself look really stupid :D You know you have done well when they fall down ...... after all what can you do if they are hanging over the walkway.Quote:

And banks, full sD
Cheers,
supermarkets
it doesn't matter how much shelf space they have they still insist on placing c#$p all over the place overhanging the isles,and causing obstruction.
I'm sure the milk companies are realy happy that large numbers of their crates are in use as shop fittings for other peoples products?
Don't get me started:mad: :mad: :mad:
OH NO!!:eek: I'm turning into a grumpy old man.....Ops to late I was grumpy at 20.:D
cheers
I'd love to sneak up to that tree in the dead of night, lop off the significant limb and, back at the shed, attach it to the entrance door :D :D :DQuote:

petrol prices go up but not down

idiots that travel in the right lane on the freeway and at a slower speed than anyone else and won't move for faster traffic
parent-in-laws that meddle in your life
and father-in-laws that when asked to do something for you go and do it to how they think it should be done when you expressly asked for it different
not being able to buy all the tools I need/want all because I don't have enough money :D
Ohh I have so many gripes I am like an old man :DQuote:

Good thread . ;)
G'day,
And another thing which is a unique thing to Melbourne
You're at a T intersection you've got the arrow to turn left but the bugger on the other side is still turning across you when he has a right light and 5o ther cars follow him - you lot in Melbourne it's simple green means go and red means stop.
and you ask FIL via SWMBO (who's at in-laws farm for holiday) who dutifly asks FIL for my square end scraper and he gives SWMBO my LH skewed scraper. Lucky he's 1200km away or I'd thump him. (OK he's got my lathe tools because he's borrowing my lathe, but he could do what I ask) :confused: :mad:
Armchair critics. :mad:
Had a classic today... a bloke who's been on my case for over 12 months now. Picks at my finishes, picks at my designs, picks at my techniques. He finally lobbed up at my shed today and gave me a demo of "how it should be done." Made a small finger bowl that took some 45 mins of scraping with a gouge(!!) and a full 2 1/2 hours of sanding with 80 & 100grit! :eek: (I kid you not!) The end result was something I can turn out in less than half an hour, straight off the tool.
He's no fricken turner, he's a power-sander! :mad:
At least I know not to bother listening to his "advice" in the future... :rolleyes:
G'day Skew ChiDAMN!!
Maybe if he turns up again you should put up a sign on your lathe, "Look but don't touch" :D
Fine then Skew ...... its the last time Im comming around to your place. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
I'm putting his effort aside for a few months... and then I'll show it to him, just to see what criticisms he has for this piece of "my" work. https://www.ubeaut.biz/thefinger.gif
oh dear me, seems somebody has a raw nerve :rolleyes:
I think the summary of the above couple of posts
Ham fisted, talentless, ignorant fools who make no effort to do things properly telling you what you should have done and why you have not succeeded at your first or second attempt to use some advanced & difficult method that you are figuring out for your self.
