There are others in the UK producing floats just as good, less expensive and you do not have to pay 10 pounds for a 4 pound postage cost.

Thanks for the films I've learned a fair bit about finishing them nicely. In return I'd like to share how I cut central holes in balsa. To make the guide, on your lathe base/rail put two hardwood side supports either side of the rail, then a hardwood block of exactly the same width and as the rail and about 1" thick. When screwed together the two sides and the block should be a tight fit on the rail. The side supports don't have to touch the floor/table but they do have to be perfectly square to the sides of the central block. Put this block in position on the lathe rail as close to the drill end as the drill bit will allow then just cut a hole in it the same diameter as the balsa dowels that you intend to use. Thats the tool finished. Now just take your section of balsa and thread it into the hole in the support/tool that you made. Place this on the lathe rail and using whatever size drill you need simply drill half way through. Turn the tool/support around on the rail and drill the other end of the balsa...perfectly central holes every single time. You will need different supports/tools for differing sized balsa dowels.

No hate to the uploader of this video.

To begin with, I'd love to hear what an "accent free" English speaker sounds like as it is impossible to speak without some sort of accent, regardless of where you come from. If a man with a very clear Scottish accent speaking in a video upsets you I suggest you turn it off and move on with your life. If you believe that people with "heavy" accents shouldn't upload videos online then I also suggest you come to Scotland and tell people that to their face as it is downright racist and I am appalled at your attitude. Furthermore, if a man's accent is causing you to have an "existential crisis" I genuinely pity you, maybe your poor understanding of English has sparked this crisis and not so much this man's accent. Maybe in future, leave your computer at home, go outside and speak to English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh/American/Australian people and get a better grasp on different dialects instead of leaving a downright petty comment on a small account who has set out to educate others and doesn't need to take this negativity from entitled people like yourself.

One of the first things that Most decent Englishmen would tell you is that first of all you have to realise that you should "NOT" be so rude. That would be the first thing any person works on if they want to speak true English "Manners maketh a man". say that phrase to yourself for 24hrs and you'll be on your way. No need to thank me!!

@@TheGapinkerton Well, I'm just starting to experiment with it. It seems quite soft. I can easily dent it with my fingernail. But then, I can balsa as well. But very light and hopefully very buoyant! I heard about it from another float-maker's blog.
Fantastic,,, its all about trying new things,,, let us know how you get on with it,,, sounds promising. G
It occurs to me to put the sharp pipe in my drill press and not turn it on, just use the heavy machine to press down for a perfectly perpendicular hole.
Does anyone know what brand waterborne lacquer I could get in the U.S. that is decent? Everyone here is using spar urethane varnish, or epoxy.
I don't k ow any particular brands in the US but look for waterborne flooring lacquer.
@@TheGapinkerton roger that. Thank you for the reply. Also big thanks for the knowledge in all the videos! Hope all is well sir.

Раскроите о станке пожалуйста
Роскажите о своём станке если вас не затруднит как вы его построили
sorry for my ignorance but is there a reason for making the stem and tip as two parts instead of one? And do you use that kiln dried kindling or making float bodies or what? Thanks for sharing yet another fab video.
Hi Bruce, the reason these were done in two parts was that I wasn't sure if I was going to use a quill section for the tip and the bodies are made from hobby grade balsa dowel.
Great video, very helpful thankyou .
Excuse my nosiness, but where do you come from ? I'm no native english speaker but I'm just curious about your accent.
