Hi Graeme, I would like to attempt making my own lathe for turning the float bodies. Can you give an instructional video on the construction of your lathe. Especially how the chucks are attatched to the drive and the tailstock. It would be a great help to me if you could. Thanks.

Do you use a special filler for the imperfections or is it just cork dust an glue ?

Richard Barrett Hi Richard. Yes, cork is indeed readily available,,,just search ebay for "natural cork". Do you use facebook at all? I have a group there and any help needed is always at hand either by myself or any of the other floatmakers..... Graeme.

Hi, I've just bought some float making materials, and was just wondering if you could tell me what size motor you use on your lathe ? Thanks

Hi Glen... Its actually a 1200w motor, rescued from an electric tile cutter.

Hi there, i have a mini lathe and am having trouble with the cork turning on the stem, whilst turning it down even though it`s drilled to the correct size. Any tips on how to prevent this. Many thanks for any help.

Hi Harry. I always cut the hole through the bodies, be it Cork or balsa, smaller than the about I use to turn on. 1mm dia smaller is enough to give a nice tight fit.
