@Hood If it's a tudor then your probably in the cheapish zone for soft jaws

Thame who make them are slightly cheaper but the shipping kills it (£12) ..so I am going to get a set from zoro when I next get a code etc in the new year

Still got a massive lack of focus so I spent all day in the kitchen. 
Had a pot of cream about to go off, so raspberry ripple ice cream;
Two friends have birthdays this week so they both get cakes, one carrot, one chocolate;
That was my first go at the chocolate curls, definitely room for improvement but I'm really pleased with them, I might buy some white chocolate in the morning and make more.
And finally, falafel (Including homemade chilli jam and tzatziki, and the biggest wraps I've ever seen).
Oh, I made a jalfrazei too.

No it isn't
There’s about 50mm of adjustment, they where designed mainly to be used either side of the milling vice, witch is why they are the size they are and I tried to keep as much adjustment as possible.

What kit is this? Is it a rear engined MEV or a Riot?

That just reminded me to rake out the chuck, seems I already have soft jaws for it
I remember now buying them on eBay years ago and misplaced a jaw then found it years later and then never used it, you can see which one I lost as it is still clean
The jaws are TEC ones.

Just ordered a spare set for mine, already 9% discount on them (supposedly) then another 20% with last months code so ended up just slightly dearer than you at £23.99 
Edit, had a closer look and the ones I should have got were the same as yours. I now remember I bought the soft jaws for a CNC power chuck I had which was 10". They do fit this with a slight modification to the width so no probs

It's an SDR vstorm. Company went bust a few years back, but sold the rights onto DJC sportscars.
It's 'nearly' done (but I've been saying that for a couple of years). I'm determined to finish it over the next couple of months and get it on the road for next summer!

I have heard of them but even though I have my kit car still, I've not kept up with the kit scene for a few years now. Good luck with finishing it and good luck with the IVA

That was my first go at the chocolate curls,
This has raised a question. If I melted bars of chocolate into a tube to make a round bar, and froze it solid. How well would choc turn and chip on lathe! Would it curl off, or be like a melty nylon mess?
Yes there are better ways to make curls, but I may have to try it.

I reckon it would work well, with the correct cutting tool profile
A carbide chipbreaker insert tool might not be the best A wood lathe and a nice wide gouge and Oh my deity, this must be the definition of too much spare time..I reckon it would work well, with the correct cutting tool profile

I love it.
Not sure how well it would work, I think it curls best slightly soft, fully cooled I think it would break apart before it curls. I might try it, lots of top rake, slow speed high feed would be your best bet I think, feeding straight in like a form tool.
