Almost too much info Ralph.... 
Dirty stop-out!!!
It wasn't quite what you were thinking I think.... Stag do, you know? Mostly drunk fellas,the girls and a casino!!

Fun.... But not a weekly venture that's for sure!!
Thanks for the old iron
Meant to pop round Johns to see you this afternoon, but got delayed working on the Mini for the summer run, darn thing wouldn't tick over kept backfiring can't get the timing set properly, think the distributers is knackered.
I've a little goody bag for you PM your address and I'll post it for you.
Cheers
Stew
No problem about the materials Stew.... It just takes me a few weeks to get some (current climate, maybe a month!!)
You should have said about the mini Stew.... 15 years smacking cars with a big hammer

! Owned 2 minis as well

(Found my timing light in a garage clear up last week too!)
No need to do the posting thing... It's ok to wait till I next visit Crewe... Won't be too long..... I've been getting a little instructing from John on RT usage.... It's amazing what you can pick up from a demo and plenty of chat

I've got some other stuff still here that I forgot to bring today, nuts, bolts and the likes. So I'll sort that for next time too.
Mark,
No worries about the thread... I am ok with it. It all relates to craftsmens work anyway

That's a large bit of a ball there... Much harder to polish being steel too! Nice to see you take a mean curvy picture too
It took me a little time to figure it all out.... The split ball to allow the "T" slot to be made (does this allow any later adjustment?)
Very interesting bit of machining
When you have some engraving works started it would be nice if you would post them... I (as possibly many of the members) haven't a clue about the difficulties of engraving and the starting bits of a beginner are just as, if not more interesting to see than a "pro's" like you can see on youtube or a purchased instructional vid'!
It's nice to see the way someone learns and what they can produce

I'll leave that one upto you
Ralph.
