With regards to ordering Lathe tooling, do you measure the thickness of the tool to get the size you need to order or is there some other convention to it? I have a little MD65 Hobbymat lathe here that came with lots of tools so I've never had to order anything. Thanks.

Yes I remember doing that in A Level chemistry class. It was funny till one of the bubbles set fire to a poster on the wall.
It ended very badly with our parents being called in to meet with the head of science

Do not do this.
Do not get a 5 gallon brewing bucket.
Do not fill 3/4 full of water and 1/2 lt of washing up liquid.
Do not place in bucket OA torch, with gas flowing.
Do not add food dye.
Do not let the column of bubbles rise up.
Do not have Mini Me and her friend in the upper bedroom window with a lighter
Do not have her light said lighter.
Do not watch the big smoke ring rise above house.
DO NOT fail to notice Mrs TYA looking at you with "That look"

yup working in a school and squirted the apprentice with oneI never set fire to anything but I did put the bunsen burner hose on the water tap. It fires a tiny jet of water a very long way
he saw the funny side of it and got his own back on me The problem is with the 4/4, Mrs TYA has quite rightly understood that when you have put 4 forths of the volume in something it is full, years of cake making probably re-inforced this with her, and maybe having to clean the oven as well! Her appreciation of the fact that once you have four forths of something in something you can't get any more in, (I know I didn't have to put the bit about four forths again, but felt it was best to keep on Mrs TYAs' side
) has caused her to give you "That Look"

These arrived last week
ECP had 50% off, don't need a set yet but will do and they are Brembo's.
Oil can, I blame the forum, my pump action oiler had died and then i read the M250 build thread and they mentioned these so went and looked and finger slipped and ended up ordering one

Since you didn't do any of this can you please post the video recording of it on the mig-welding forum for our
Of course if you didn't record it the first time you're only running the risk of some of us untrained idiots trying to replicate such a dangerous feat, so in the best interests of H&S it would be better if you could just post a video showing just how dangerous it is so none of us are tempted to try it at home.

It was fun lighting the gas taps
This was our physics masters party trick.
For each and every first year O level group, he would light a gas tap at the front of the class and then ask the wide eyed gathering why the (roaring) flame didn't travel back down the pipe and blow up the local gas works.
I think 12 minutes was the record before he got a satisfactory answer.......

@slim_boy_fat
Yes, at last a parcel arrived.
Here is the parcel.
A lot of duct tape, many layers, but well protected.
This is what was in the package.
3 old Back saws.
In a state, but first look shows that 2 could be saved, the third will need some work on the teeth.
Time will tell.
If not I have a Up-cycling idea.

Back on the 13th Oct See Post No. 11442. I acquired a Marples Mitre clamp.
On the surface it didn't look to bad.
It wasn't to bad.
A good clean and a paint strip in Hot caustic solution to remove the bad paint job.
It showed that one of the C/sunk mounting hole had bean filled in with filler, no reason why as far as I could see. Unless it was to take a M6 C/sunk screw. But why just do one.
So I asked a friend to TIG it full and machine a new C/sunk hole.
Here it is all done.

Is that a straightforward mitre clamp, or is it some sort of mitre cutting guide? Looks like it has some sort of adjustable stops to set the max depth of cut.

It does have adjustable depth stops, they raise up and use screws to lock them in place.
The current plan is to use of the saws from @slim_boy_fat sent me as the saw to use.
