Top class little lathe.

Top class little lathe.

I bought this little honey about 2 mts ago and have gotten very fond of it in the mean time. It has taken
some hard abuse from my awkward, inexperienced hands but we are still friends and I am certain that I have gotten very good value for money.
I was impressed right from the off with the weight of it and the general sturdy construction. It has 5 speeds that are easy to change (650 – 3000rpm) and it will turn a 10in o/d which is more than a few of them in the same price-range.
17.5in is approx what it will manage between centres, which seems about standard.
It has a 1/2hp motor and came complete with a face-plate, live centre, driver and a spanner.
It cost about E230 to buy it and have it shipped from England to my front door.

In conclusion, I think this is a perfect starter lathe that could also find favour with more professional turners.
Ask ‘em if ya got ‘em.

Best regards,
Murch.

Adjustable Levels: What's Under The Hood?




I had hopes of making an adjustable, rather than fixed level, but after taking apart one of the antiques I bought, I see that I lack the necessary skills to do so.

This E. Preston and Sons level (foreground in the first image) includes plumb and level vials, each of which are housed in a "vial casket" (which sounds more like a shoddily constructed sarcophagus than it does an encasement for a spirit level).

The adjustment for both vials relies on a pinned hinge, spring, and machine screw.

The screw slides through the spring and threads into a tapped metal cup that supports the spring. By tightening or loosening the screw, the casket is pulled closer to or pushed further away from the brass top plate. 

It's a clever way to maintain the accuracy of the level. But how do you determine level in the first place?

Several commenters in the last post offered good suggestions. I had planned to find the most level surface in my shop by using manufactured levels and then shimming accordingly. Of course, who's to say that they're accurate?

Instead, I've decided to do as the Romans did by using a trough (in this case, a long glass baking pan), marking a line on each end at the same height from the bottom of the pan, filling it with water, and sitting it on a flat surface in my shop. Then, I'll shim as needed.

After that, I'll lay a large sheet of brass on top of the pan on which to place my shop-made level.  (A sheet of metal rather than wood because it's more likely to be perfectly flat.)

Old vials which did not have adjustment mechanisms relied on plaster to seat the vials.  I'm thinking of using silicone sealer instead because it will remain flexible as the wood expands and contracts with the seasons.

And speaking of vials, you may wonder where I got those two lovely glass ones at the top of the page. Thank you to my friend, Charles Davis, for sending these original, unused Stanleys to me.

They have black lines which help determine when the bubble is centered. Vials that did not have these lines required a center strip of brass on the brass top plate, which can be seen on the Preston level.

The glass vials that Charles sent are curved in a shallow arc to help the bubble find center.

Vials that were not curved made it nearly impossible to center the bubble. The most minute movement in the angle of the level caused the bubble to shoot toward one end of the glass or the other.

That's what I call a vial with a vile temperament.

Mixed Signals & Federal Funding for Alternative Energy Research



There have definitely been some mixed signals on alternative energy research recently. At the same time President Bush's State of the Union address called for a 22 percent increase in federal spending to develop alternative energies, dozens of staffers and contractors for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, were being laid off.

The disconnect was a political embarrassment for the president, so federal officials restored the laboratory's funding, rehiring the workers who had been laid off just in time for President Bush?s scheduled speech at the NREL.

In his speech the President acknowledged the confusion, ?I recognize that there has been some interesting mixed signals when it comes to funding," President Bush said.

This comes at a time when a new national public opinion survey demonstrates overwhelming public support in the United States for government policies and investments that will support development of alternative energy sources. The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies of Alexandria, VA, for the Energy Future Coalition. The survey?s findings included:

According to the survery there is nearly unanimous support for a national goal of having 25% of the United States domestic energy needs met by alternative energy by the year 2025. Ninety-eight percent of voters see this goal as important for the country, and three out of four (74%) feel that it is "very important." Ninety percent of voters believe this goal is achievable.

Similar majorities support government action to encourage greater use of renewable energy. Eighty-eight percent of voters favor financial incentives, and 92% support minimum government standards for the use of renewable energy by the private sector.

Nearly all voters (98%) say the costs, such as the cost of research and development and the cost of building new renewable energy production facilities, would be worth it to get the United States to the 25% by 2025 goal.

Voters consider energy to be an important issue facing the country, rating it similarly with health care, terrorism and national security, and education, and ahead of taxes and the war in Iraq. Half (50%) of voters believe America is headed for an energy crisis in the future, and 35% believe the country already is facing a crisis.

So just how much is the United States government spending on alternative energy research? After the 22% increase the budget will stand at $771 million. This amounts to less than one percent of the $55,000 million the federal government spends annually on research, nearly half of which is devoted to healthcare.

It?s time for action.

flattening chisel backs

Hello all,
I just got all set up to sharpen my first set of chisels and am finding it very laborious to flatten the back. I started on a 1000 grit waterstone and after about 20 minutes I could still see machine marks at the tip of the blade so I dropped to 220 grit sandpaper on a flat surface for another 10 minutes, still wasn’t contacting the top 1/16” or so of the blade so I switched to 80 grit. It started getting a little more noticably flat but I got too tired to continue. Is this normal for brand new chisels? They aren’t the best (Craftsman) but it just seems like its taking for ever for the abrasive to even start to contact the top 1/16” of the blade. Anyone have any input?

Trust Yourself. Trust No One

Between meetings, classes and regular living, I?ve cut 132 dovetails during the last couple weeks to build my next project, which will be featured on the cover of the June 2011 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. Many of these dovetails have been mitered at their front corners, which I cut freehand (thank you Joseph Moxon).

When I completed the 132 dovetails I was well pleased. Only a few of them showed any noticeable gaps, and everything went together right from the saw. No paring. So I was feeling a little confident as I started to design the plinth for this project, which was a simple thing.

I sat at my computer, which is loaded with the latest version of SketchUp. Using my dividers, I tried to design a bracket foot for the plinth that was similar to some of the bracket feet I had recently seen at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts.

I took the mouse in hand for more than two hours. Everything I designed looked like crap.

No, I take that back. It looked like COMPLETE crap.

Then I remembered an English book I had just finished on cabinet construction. There was an entire section on plinths. How to lay them out. How to transfer the pattern to the wood. How to cut and shape them.

I turned to this book for the answer to my SketchUp problem. Believe it or not, the solution to my 2011 problem was in this 1901 book. Here it is:

Draw your plinth freehand.

I resisted this suggestion at first because I cannot draw anything. Not even Tippy the Turtle wearing a skimpy bikini. (In my next life, I want to learn to draw. And not just sexy turtles.)

So I kept at the plinth with my mouse hand. I tried several ogees. I tried proportioning the plinth based on several bases that I had photographed. Nothing worked. Everything looked like crap.

So I ate an apple. I got a cup of coffee. I taunted my co-workers.

Then I took the advice of the stupid old 1901 book. I grabbed a sheet of old magazine letterhead and a pencil. I sketched out the foot in full size on the back of the sheet.

Dang. It didn?t look half bad. I tweaked a couple details then showed it to Glen D. Huey, who has an 18th-century eye. (The other eye is for spotting doughnuts and Corvettes.)

The foot detail looked good. Real good. So I created a pattern on some crappy 1/4" plywood and transferred it to my plinth pieces, which were already dovetailed.

Things were looking fine. The curves flowed nicely from the floor to the spur of the bracket foot. I was (and this is a rare event) happy.

I cut and shaped the plinth pieces, and the curves flowed ? just like they did on my sketch. Then I did a dry assembly to see how the carcase looked on top of the plinth.

And snap. Literally. Snap.

One of the feet popped off and fell to the floor. I swore. I grabbed the foot and tried to glue it back on with no luck. All of the sudden Home Economics class was looking quite good. I was sure I could sew a dress.

I fetched my glue. I gathered a bunch of clamps. I glued and clamped the heck out of those base pieces. When I left work everything looked nice and tight. We?ll see how it looks in the morning.

? Christopher Schwarz

Want to see some awesome 18th-century feet? Check out Glen D. Huey?s book on the topic. He has more than a nice eye for the form, he also has a nice spleen for it.

UK proposes Fourth Carbon Budget (Press notice)

UK proposes Fourth Carbon Budget (Press notice)

A limit on the total amount of greenhouse gases to be emitted by the UK between 2023 to 2027 has been proposed to cut Britain’s emissions by 50% from 1990 levels and highlighting the Government’s commitment to being the greenest government ever.

Today's proposal, set out by Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne, is in line with advice from the independent Committee on Climate Change. It sets a fourth carbon budget of 1950 MtCO2e for the period that will span from 2023 to 2027, putting the UK on course to cut emissions by at least 80% by 2050. The carbon budget will place the British economy at the leading edge of a new global industrial transformation, and ensure low carbon energy security and decarbonisation is achieved at least cost to the consumer.

The package announced today also includes measures to minimise costs of the low-carbon transition to industries exposed to international competition:

  • In line with the Coalition Agreement, Government will continue to argue for an EU move to a 30% target for 2020, and ambitious action in the 2020s. We will review progress in EU climate negotiations in early 2014. If at that point our domestic commitments place us on a different emissions trajectory than the EU Emissions Trading System trajectory agreed by the EU, we will, as appropriate, revise up our budget to align it with the actual EU trajectory.
  • Before the end of the year we will announce a package of measures to reduce the impact of government policy on the cost of electricity for energy intensive industries and to help them adjust to the low-carbon industrial transformation.
     

The Prime Minister said:

“When the coalition came together last year, we said we wanted this to be the greenest government ever. This is the right approach for Britain if we are to combat climate change, secure our energy supplies for the long-term and seize the economic opportunities that green industries hold.

“In the past twelve months, we have pursued an ambitious green agenda and today, we are announcing the next, historic step. By making this commitment, we will position the UK a leading player in the global low-carbon economy, creating significant new industries and jobs.

“The transition to a low-carbon economy is necessary, real, and global. By stepping up, showing leadership and competing with the world, the UK can prove that there need not be a tension between green and growth.”

Chris Huhne said:

“Today’s announcement will give investors the certainty they need to invest in clean energy. It puts Britain at the leading edge of a new global industrial transformation as well as making good our determination that this will be the greenest government ever.

“The Coalition Government has set a fourth carbon budget level, in line with the advice from the Committee on Climate Change, that sends a clear signal about our determination to transform Britain permanently into a low carbon economy. By cutting emissions we’re also getting ourselves off the oil hook, making our energy supplies more secure and opening up opportunities for jobs in the new green industries of the future.

“Through the Green Deal, electricity market reform and the Green Investment Bank we’re already putting in place the tools that will help us meet this ambitious carbon budget. This and every future British Government will have to keep up the pace and put in place the most effective policies to tackle climate change.

“Under this carbon budget, Britain in 2027 will be a different place and transformed for the better with warmer homes powered by green energy, many more cars powered by electricity and far less reliance on fossil fuels to drive our economy.”

Under the fourth carbon budget, government will aim to reduce emissions domestically as far as practical and affordable, but also intends to keep open the option of trading in order to retain maximum flexibility and minimise costs in the medium-long term.

Groundbreaking innovation will play a crucial role in helping Britain to decarbonise its energy supplies by 2027 in the most economical way. Today the Energy Technologies Institute is asking industry to design, build and test longer offshore wind turbine blades to improve performance. Currently blades are typically 40-60 metres long, but the next generation of turbines could have blades measuring more than 90 metres – almost the height of Big Ben.


Reactions to the 4th Carbon Budget

 

EU Climate Action Commissioner Connie Hedegaard said:
''I welcome the ambitious goal announced by the United Kingdom's government today to reduce emissions 50 per cent under 1990 levels by 2025. This is an outstanding example of strong willingness to act despite difficult economic times. It also confirms that clever climate policies are not only about climate alone; they are also about improving energy security, stimulating innovation, raising competitiveness, and creating economic growth and jobs. With this decision, the UK seizes a huge economic and innovation opportunity that will make its economy more competitive in the future''


David Kennedy, Chief Executive of the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) said:
“We are delighted that Government has accepted our recommendations on the 4th carbon budget (2023-2027). This is a world first: no other country has made legally binding commitments to ambitious emissions reduction targets for the 2020s.

Setting and meeting the carbon budget will place the UK in a strong position, both in terms of meeting the 2050 target, and building an economy very well placed to prosper in a low-carbon world.

The carbon budget will underpin much of the high level ambition set out in the Coalition Agreement. It is important now to translate this ambition into detailed policies with strong incentives.

The key areas to focus on now are the Electricity Market Reform, demonstration of CCS technology, the Green Deal, the Renewable Heat Incentive, and support for electric vehicle market development.

With the right policies in place, our analysis shows that we can achieve deep emissions cuts over the next two decades in power generation, buildings and surface transport at low cost.

Aiming now to introduce clean technologies in these sectors and meet the carbon budget will ensure that we make the right investment choices, maximising long-term growth and reducing our reliance on imported fossil fuels”.


Christiana Figueres, head of the UNFCCC said:
“The UK becomes the first nation to adopt legally binding emission reductions beyond 2020. It can be done! “


Dr Lykke Friis, Danish Energy and Climate Change Minister, said:
"I applaud the British climate and energy targets. They are both ambitious and necessary. I urge fellow EU countries to follow suit. We need more targets like these globally to promote green investments and increase the share of renewable energy substantially. Together with the UK, Denmark will continue to push for more ambitious climate goals in the EU".
 



Notes for editors

1. The full Ministerial Statement is also available in this News section.

2. The Committee on Climate Change provided their advice in December 2010.

3. Further information on the Energy Technologies Institute’s turbine blade announcement can be obtained from Nigel Richardson on 01509 202084 / 07827 946064 or email: nigel.richardson@eti.co.uk

4. The Carbon Budget covers emissions for all the UK. As required by the Climate Change Act, the UK Government asked the Devolved Administrations for their views on setting the level of the Fourth Carbon Budget.

5. Under the Climate Change Act, the fourth carbon budget must be set in Parliament by 30 June 2011. Once proposals have been laid before Parliament they will be debated by both houses.

6. The Act requires that Government publishes a report setting out proposals and policies for meeting the fourth carbon budget ‘as soon as is reasonably practicable’ after setting the new carbon budget in legislation. DECC’s Business Plan specifies that Government intends to publish the report in October 2011, which will be done alongside the Carbon Plan.

7. The first three carbon budgets are:

  Budget 1 Budget 2 Budget 3
Budget level (MtCO2e) 3018 2782 2544

Solar Power Rebates for the Sun Energy User


Expenses come to mind when a home owner contemplates on installing solar house panels. It is definitely a gadget that would interest anyone that?s concerned about its growing power consumption. It is also the device to look into for those who have concern in the welfare of the environment.

For those who are serious in lessening any power bills in the long term, the federal government offers solar power rebates. For example, a home owner who might be residing in the solar power friendly US states such as New Jersey or even California, more often than not, they offer federal programs that automatically offer substantial solar panel rebate for those who are interested in using solar panels for the home and engage in the production of this renewable energy. Such incentives that one can enjoy are significantly high that such installments of solar gadgets will help in the owner being able to pay for its power is as fast as 3 years or even less.

Via the California?s Renewable Energy Rebate scheme, many of its citizens will have to pay for just half of the home solar panels price of the sun and wind power systems. Such effective program permits those who are qualified.

The utility agencies on which the sites must be grid-tied or connected are the following:

1. So California Edison
2. San Diego Gas and Electric
3. Pacific Gas and Electric

When connected to these companies, the solar users will experience dramatic reduction in electric costs. The bills of the California residents will reduce to practically nil when they go for a combination of time-of-use meters, effective conservation of energy and government tax break.

On the other hand, the New Jersey solar power rebates range from as low as hundreds to as high as thousands of dollars per approved rebate application, all of such coming from the Office of Clean Energy in New Jersey. The office offers generous cash rebates per watt of installed sun power to applicants but only on a limited basis. However, it must be stressed that the application is intimidating somewhat, as the applicant needs a company with ample knowledge to file them for him. There exist rebate programs and schemes that effectively reduce installation costs.

However, since a number of US states such as California and New Jersey are generous enough to offer sun power users solar power rebates, more and more American consumers from the other US States are thinking about transferring to use of sun power energy instead of relying primarily on the common electricity made available through its production from oil or coal manufacturing plants.

The main Solar House Panels benefits and advantages are the following; aside of course from the possible solar power rebates, depending on the area or state where one lives:

The residential solar power users are allowed to enjoy doing investment as well as additional source of income in the long term once they are regularly enjoying surplus in the sun power production.

Switching to sun power consumption help home owners in saving substantial hard-earned cash

With the regular use of alternative energy source coming for the sun, the user in effect becomes instrument in the contribution to the cleanliness and saving of the surroundings and environment in general.

Just a few years ago, many pioneers in this alternative energy use were innovative enough to deviate from the usual electricity use and go for the alternative sources of energy ? solar power included. They beam in pride as they are able to achieve almost nil electrical bill each month. And because of new and more improved technology in alternative energy, the solar panels for the home are becoming more and more effective in the production of power for the ordinary home owners. Some are evidently made portable and less heavy than the older models.

Definitely solar panel rebates are very important in effecting the leveling of the field. In other words, such rebates can ensure that clean and renewable kind of energy is made to match up the traditional power source by making it likewise as attractive in terms of cost.

Some of these rebates ? particularly concerning the huge, major projects ? are able to pay more than 50 percent of the incurred expenses and costs. Fortunately, such expenses by the prospective solar home panel user can be recovered in only a few numbers of years. Some of the sun power users are even able to earn from their use once they are able to sell their surplus energy to the state government.

Definitely, the correct information is important to understand; consumers will all the more be enticed into transferring to utilization of photovoltaic solar system once they realize that the cost of the use of electrical power in the long run will be much more expensive compared to the zero expense incurred when solar energy is utilized.

Sun power will be paying for itself practically and not the user ? maybe in the future even the purchase and installation of solar house panels. This fact is the reason why many consumers and home owners are joining the band wagon ? the possibility of generating extra cash as the production of more electricity from the sun is there.

Top class little lathe.

Top class little lathe.

I bought this little honey about 2 mts ago and have gotten very fond of it in the mean time. It has taken
some hard abuse from my awkward, inexperienced hands but we are still friends and I am certain that I have gotten very good value for money.
I was impressed right from the off with the weight of it and the general sturdy construction. It has 5 speeds that are easy to change (650 – 3000rpm) and it will turn a 10in o/d which is more than a few of them in the same price-range.
17.5in is approx what it will manage between centres, which seems about standard.
It has a 1/2hp motor and came complete with a face-plate, live centre, driver and a spanner.
It cost about E230 to buy it and have it shipped from England to my front door.

In conclusion, I think this is a perfect starter lathe that could also find favour with more professional turners.
Ask ‘em if ya got ‘em.

Best regards,
Murch.
