Hi Nick I recon I'm at least two months away from an air run, progress will speed up though as I'm finishing work (retiring) end of July :D :D :D :D :D The little bits are nothing to be afraid of the main thing is to get the hole centres the same and thats easy enough if you drill one first then drill the second off the first, the rest is just filing work with buttons and hand eye co-ordination. The parts that were fabricated in hindsite could be made better from solid, I was guided from good old Curlie's words and music, and that is the way he did it, but he was writing in an age when small milling machine were as scares as Rocking horse s***t, today most people have them so I recon that would be a better way to go, I'm half tempted to remake those bits from solid but I'll see how it goes first.

As you know Stew, if you need it, just ask. I can only say one of two things. :thumbup: There are no problems locally case hardening, I do it myself, to very good effect, I was just asking if you had taken the solder joints into consideration, don't want you to lose all that good work. :poke: :bang: The swivel chair has now been replaced with a new one, and the old one is outside waiting to die, even a new wheel won't resurrect it. :( John |
