lol, now now  :whip: :whip:

I`ll be honest mate, it was going pretty well cutting the dovetails on the shaper but I`ve had a few issues getting access to with it not being at my house and it needs a bit of a looking at to get it running true. I still aim to make the QCTP but it isn`t my priority, I`m pretty enthused with my clock at present. I`m sure I`ll have a break in a few months when I have cut a few wheels and the QCTP may come back on the cards. It is nice to see people take interest in projects... I just can`t stop thinking about this clock at present, every second of every day!! I think I`m poorly....OCD?

I'm like that too ... mine is thinking about the flame licker though! The only way I get to sleep (and this is the truth) is running through the machining sequence in my mind for the remaining parts - but I always get side tracked and end up thinking from step 1 again and again and again! Having said that, I was reading my "Sweet Pea" book last night and haven't touched anything on that for 11 years -  I think I may be ill!  :proj: I need to  :med:

When I think about it, there was my freelance electric loco idea, then I felt under vast pressure to make a rocking engine  :poke: , then I said I was definitely going to concentrate on the 3 1/2" loco restoration, then I started talking about a QCTP after seeing yours - then I went and started making a flame licker!! So I'm as guilty, if not more than everybody else! I have always loved flame lickers though.  :D

Really, I should have done the QCTP and it would have sped up all subsequent projects!

You're doing a good job, enjoy watching your projects unfold.
