Alas, poor Bill is dead, of him we'll hear no more

For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4!

Graphite rod can be got from College Engineering or Noggin End.

It's not shown on the CE website but if you phone them they usually have some.

Gloster tools make a QCTP in alloy, I've never used one but they have been selling them for a long time.

I found that the Blackgates power saw was very slow to cut until I fitted it with a power hacksaw blade. I bought a couple of bimetallic blades off eBay and drilled the appropriated holes in them. It cuts a lot faster now.

Does anyone remember that massive beastie that Professor Eric Laithewaite demonstrated at the Christmas Lecture too many years ago?

Warco do a five inch table which fits on my X2 ok.

Take it easy mate, all the best.

Looking forward to following this build, I have a Stuart 7V to put together when I get the workshop sorted so I expect to pick up plenty of good info from this.

I'm with David Clark on this, I don't care what a thread is about as long as the title describes it correctly.

What does annoy me is when people drag a thread off course, instead of starting a new one.

I do think that members should support those brave enough to post their efforts online. It's easy to knock others work and those who do generally don't do anything worth posting.

What has any of this rubbish got to do with sulphuric acid?

This was such a good thread, why have we got all this geeky rubbish on it now?

The 1" looks ok but the others are a bit odd.

Your wire is a bit on the thick side but one way of straightening wire is to fasten one end to something sturdy, clamp the other end in a drill chuck and, leaning back give it a quick whizz. The other problem with this method is that being stainless the wire will work harden!

The screw in fuse in those D&S plugs could stay in the socket if it was loose. This happened to me when I was ten years old. Without thinking I grabbed it and found myself laying on the floor. Lucky I guess.

I thought it was a good show with some very impressive pieces of work on display. It was good to meet you and Roderick and I enjoyed our chat. I hope to be able to put something in the show next time.

Bert

Well, I think that makes a quorum! I shall look forward to seeing you.
