I am almost losing track of the projects I have on the go at the moment in no real order of importance.
engine idea,
dirt bike rebuild
fixing lathe
heat bender for plastic
sorting out shop storage
the carousel
etc, etc and etc

Ah Shipto.
     Our model engineering club has a saying, "One project at a time". Don't think any of us stick to it as there always seems to be a hiatus between operations. SO, what to do with the glue set time" or silver solder pickle time? Why, "Just start on this little project" and the rot sets in.
     Nice aim though?
Good luck with the carousel, they really look good when finished and running. Saw one at an almost, local (87km up the freeway), model exhibition a few years back..

A really nice aim but most of my problems getting these projects finished is usually a lack of the proper tools for the job. I finally have a decent lathe thats capable of way more than I will ever need (famous last words?) but a milling machine would be the next thing that would help me with a lot of the projects.
Maybe sometime next year, will have to sweet talk the wife or better still make her something really nice  :D

Managed to spend a bit of time on this project at last. Made a tool from a old bit of parting tool and some flat stock.
Made some fixings for the bottom of the twisted bars which will fit on as in pic 3, still need to put a rebate in the bottom of them so they can sit flush on the wood and put some m3 grub screws in to hold everything in place before they are polished up.
I have also located the gearing for moving the horses up and down, already brought a large meccano crown gear and will order the small gears once the funds are available.

I have always stuck to one project at a time. Trouble is, I am bored with my current project and as a consequence I am doing nothing!
