That is beautiful! :bugeye: :clap: :clap:

As is the feeling of relief.... One more, unexpected round tuit, sorted....... :D

Thank you for the kind thought, turning a favour into another excellent shared project. :thumbup:

That transport solution sounds like a plan!

Incidentally, I've found your taps..... They were where I'd put 'em..... I think! :scratch:

Just been discussing transport of displacer with John on Skype.

We wondered where you had gone to.

Don't you get too fond of my taps and dies :D ... I'm sure they are pining for me ... :(

David,

Glad to help a fellow model engineer in distress, and as you said, it might help someone else in the same sort of predicament, by me showing how I did it.

Dave,

Delivery is in your hands, after you pick it up on Saturday.

Had a very long day..... Involving intense activity with baby grandaughter, and Mrs. Drillin...... ::)

Now back to what passes for normal activities, until next time! :thumbup:

Jack,

What I think people don't realise is just how ingrained engineering is in our UK blood.

We have been inventing and making things forever, and it was also passed around the world when we still had an Empire. That inventiveness and the wish to make things is still there, and lots of individuals in this country still while away the hours in their little sheds and workshops, burning the midnight oil.

Even in the fairly small town I live in, population of around 70K, there are hundreds of practicing model engineers, so it is only natural for a few of us to get together every now and then to beat our gums a while, and to help each other out, it is just a thing we do.

But it isn't just that.

A few of us have the desire to help others, no matter where they hail from. I personally have made lots of bits and pieces and sent them to the US, into Europe and the Antipodes, all in the name of friendship between fellow model engineers, never ever having met them face to face, and most, only thru email contact, but a lot have become sort of personal friends, because I personally made the effort to encourage that friendship.

It is up to the individual if he wants to become a member of that worldwide group, where race, colour, creed and how much money you have has no bearing at all, just the desire to share knowledge and help between ourselves. Forums help a lot, but sometimes it needs that personal touch.

John
