Matthew, beware that a fair amount of graphite came on the market a few years back from behind the old 'Iron Curtain' that was suspected to have come from 'test reactors' and was significantly radio-active :bugeye:
Joules:
Whilst mild radiation probably isn’t a major concern for wrinklies, better to be safe around younger generations. Worth having in the workshop, especially with questionable scrap metals for the same reason as Andrew mentioned.

The threadjack doesn't bother me, but a project as cool as a home made air spindle for the Clarkson it worthy of it's own thread. I'll be watching out for that, as I have a Clarkson as well.

Mark,
I've only got as far as rough dimensions in my head, I've ordered the Graphite and a 70x190mm off-cut of chrome bar, it'll get clearer when the materials arrive!
Cheers, Matthew
