Nice one.

Talking of turning, that was part of my profession at one time. About time I put it to good use

[Fluff]

Would that be lathe turning?

Awesome car - one of the ones I have never managed toget

Yes indeed. The sort of thing I used to do, excuse the gallery!

In the cycling world where I have come from, there is a niche market for timber framed bikes.

Has anyone ever produced a timber chassis for a slot car?

[Anthony B]

Never comercially - however at the beginning of the noughties there was a 'craze' where people were using lollipop sticks (ice cream sticks) to create chassis.

They did work - however I dont think they were ever competitive.

I have a few of Gordons woodwork - and they are outstanding - your true vocation Gordon!!

Sadly, I don't have a lathe any more. I spent so much time turning that I became unaware of the amount of dust that was getting into the house, even with full extraction equipment. I got an offer I couldn't refuse so it went and Ronnie is happy with the (almost) dust free house.

I may get another small lathe at some stage but I suspect it will be a metal working one that I can use to make bits for slot cars!!

Sorry about the thread drift
