Re: Hello from Portsmouth
Hi Gianluca Welcome to the forums!
Make yourself comfortable, there's bound to be someone along who can assist with you question.
Are you looking to buy rather than build?
Re: Hello from Portsmouth
Thanks for your answer :)
Yes i will buy the machine, cause building one would be too long and too difficult now (all my tools are back in italy)
I need to start as soon as possible to produce a couple of clocks wich i want to sell, so I would be happy to find something very quickly, but looks like no one have machines in store, they all build them on order and delivery time ranges between 4 and 8 weeks.... even tried to look if i could find an used machine, but had no luck. Only ready made product available for immediate shipping are chinese machine that I'm not takin in consideration as, just lookin at the pictures, they don't look like something you can really use for work :thumbdown:.
Re: Hello from Portsmouth
And by the way I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction as where I can find cherry, oak or other hard wood boards here in Portsmouth....

Hi Gianluca
Best people to talk to would be either a local tree surgeon, yellow pages for that, or a wood turner. The chap below is in liphook which is near you so he may be able to advice you of a local source of seasoned timber.
Have fun

I was going to suggest HMS Victory! not quite as silly as it sounds. I had a chat with a very helpful chippie who was working on the Cutty Sark. Very useful source of offcuts came from that. :-)
Re: Hello from Portsmouth
Thank you for useful advice :)
still waiting for email with prices from another company, but I think tomorrow I will order the BZT machine...
