thanks to all gary

good pictures john, looking forward to watching this build.

thanks for your reply circlip, may i suggest you drink a few glasses of cardhu, it has been known to turn my legs into rubber, it might work wonders on your kneck gary

can anyone tell me what the oiler is off, no markings on it apart from the plunger which is marked ESS the second item looks like a compressor of some sort, very small maybe for an air brush. no makers name on it, gary.

finished a copy of a steam engine built by david king steam enthusiast and inventor. the original was built from castings. my one was built from stock i already had, will add pipework to the feed pumps once i decide on a tank.

hi martin, i had a universal milling machine for about 5 years and only used in horizontal mode once in that time. is it really worth the expense ? gary

thanks for that tip len, will check them out as they might fit my 250, gary

good on you andrew, i have been following your traction engine build for a while now

hi, i have a box of nord lock washers and find them very good. you dont need to tighten to much or you risk flattening the serrations, they can be used several times. when they came on the market i got a free bottle opener with a wing nut on it, the idea was you very gently tightened the wing nut with your fingers and it was impossible to slacken it without a pliers.

thank you for all the replies, looks like varifocals are the way to go but do have some issues, i think i will give them a try. optician says i have a twelve week trial and can then swap to single focus if not happy. i am a slater by trade and will have to take extra care for a while ! gary

welcome mike and dave, treat us gently. gary

i have had reading glasses for over ten years and now my optician says i need glasses for longer distance, she has suggested varifocals. are they suitable for the workshop? i also hear they take a while to get used to.

now that is a nice touch

yes the royal mail can be quick at times
