Ah for the good old days, when you could just go off and shoot your own elephant.

Now you have to rely on poachers.

Will be heading down that road one of these years.

Talk about listing all my stuff !! Where the Hell do I start ?

Never knew I had so much until I took a really good look at it.

When someone moves in, it will be like Ali Baa, Baa,s cave. !

I seem to remember Sparey commented on this in his book.

Sad news indeed after so much work having been put into them.

I regret to admit that I have nothing to fear in this regard, nobody, no matter how desperate, is likely to steal my efforts.

At least it,s Made in England. Can,t be that bad.

Perhaps he was suffering from a lack of iron ?

Farmboy, I suspect you are right, most people would not know the difference.

PS, I wonder did he bolt his food, or was he screwed somewhere along the line ?

Just wondering .

Still better than a blow of a stick !!

Ah yes, but no adventure ????

By the time you have worked your way through Sparey,s chapter on screwcutting, I think you should have a fairly good idea of how to proceed.

Makes more sense than many other posts !

I buy butter in packs of 454 grams, have done for years.

Bring back Imperial ? That will be the day !!

Actually, I cannot find fault with my local Post Office, they are helpful to a fault.

Credit where credit is due.

I have no problem with my post, but then, I keep my postman well supplied with apple tarts !

Seems to help.

Just an idea !

For hobby use, or indeed most day-to-day use, I doubt if yo have anything to worry about.

As Tony say,s, no need to go wild for normal use.

Sounds like a nice machine, I like the idea of the two spindles, handy for gear cutting.

If it runs OK, what,s the problem ?

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Only useful for ripsawing

At 30 quid, I think you did OK. I would just fit a new switch and get it up and running.

Riving knife is not too important, I seldom use mine since it gets in the way while grooving or cutting joints.

You will do fine without it.

Nice find !

Hacksaw ??

I think Chris has got it in one !!

You mean to say you have people like that over your way as well ???

Shocking !!
