Also heat your rod and dip it in the flux powder so it has flux stuck too it, never heard of adding washing up liquid to flux paste so forget that, just mix to a paste as instructed above.

Hi David

Forgot to mention in my previous post that i think you are doing a grand job regarding the general content, and you are also sympathetic to us old *arts that would like to investigate CNC.

I am a time served Fitter Turner from the Shipyard In Barrow and although the title implies Turner this was only covered very briefly during the apprenticeship and i only started to really learn the fundimentals when i purchased an Elliot Emcomat 7L in 1975 (still have it in my shed) thern i went with Chevron Tankships and they had a Combination Machine Lathe/Mill/Shaper so got familliar with this bit of kit(standard equipment on all the boats in the fleet) so like yourself i am really self tought and all the better for it.

A lot of years ago i subscribed to Model Engineer after seeing the series on the construction of a Triple Expansion Marine Engine, at that time there were also the excellent article by George Thomas and the like, but having no interest in steam locomotive models it became less attractive and Model Engineers Workshop had just started so i subscribed and have been reasonably content with the articles, i have to admit that i now only give it a cursory glance when it arrives and file them away for later consumption, i might be off the mark here but i don't think it is the scope of the magazine to have to explain basic engineering and tooling.Anyone that is interested in the hobby can gain the basics from other publications. in the current issue 192 six pages were devoted to the Beginners and this is the 11th of such articles, i purchase MEW for ideas modifications new ideas to enhance my knowledge and workshop equipment.
