Sirs

Upon opening the latest copy of ME (#4386) I was appalled by 3 photos in Harold Halls "The Beginners Guide to Building a SteamEngine"

Where oh! where is this great magazine of ours going when it can allow such a dangerous practice of workholding like this shown in photos #30-31-32 of Halls "Guide to "eginners. Publishing a "Top Tip" does not mitigate such a dangerous piece of advice.

In my apprenticeship days if this method of workholding had ever been attempted, I would have been awarded with an immediate "Kick up the pants" followed by an equally quick visit to the Chief Engineers sanctum.

If ME is going to continue publishing advice and help to new entrants into the hobby surely it DEMANDS that SAFE and only SAFE practices are photographed and shown.

Shame on Harold Hall for his advise, and Shame on the Editor for publishing such a dangerous method

Regards

Crewmech

I am deeply shocked upon learning of the death of Malcolm Stride. He will be greatly missed - the Model Engineering fraternity is lessened by his passing.

RIP
