Hi David, I did just look at your p.m., forgot they exist, truthfully, I think the model engineering kind of faded quite a bit for a while, and lots of what was available was pretty shoddy manufacture, but it seems to have picked up some, and there are lots of good quality casting kits out now, so hopefully we can look forward to better beginnings as we move forward. I suspect your kit was one with too many flaws for someone who wasn't ready to find them all, and have a ready fix for them. I always think such things are the best way to get a nice project at a cheap price, and pay up in work, to make up for to price. Personally, I don't mind, I'd rather be in the shop anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing how you set up your chimney, I think it'll make a big difference in the long run. :beer: :thumbup: mad jack |

Well, the worst of the roughing is finally finished! Sawed/ machined away the air tube, part thread. Also the flange...... Then counterbored the new portion...... We've got a new member in the inspection department She's learning, slowly...... Hmmmm...... Tried for fit....... Passed, ready for assembly..... Now assembled, with high temp sleeve lock. Final machining, later. :thumbup: David D |

David, The only problem with using inspectors of such a young age is having to polish out the teethmarks afterwards. John |
