Hobbyland in Mmephis is closing their doors & got the Tamiya 1/32 F-15J for

(with silver).  Capable of pewter, resin, and plaster castings.

I have one of these little Sanders, it really seems to fit well in my
hand.  It is also pretty easy to use for sanding most of the things i'm
working on right now.  
Can any of you tell me where I can get more of those sanding bands that

I'm repairing a Rapidor hacksaw that's been neglected for a few years.
I don't know what model it is, but the blade is 14" x 1" and several

lower bow section and replaced it with the plug to get that narrow ...

I'm considering using a Vertex horizontal/vertical rotary table as the
basis of a 4th axis on my Bridgeport Interact 1.
Has anyone pulled one apart to see what the bearings are like on the
8" or 10" sizes ?

Thanks to Mark Jones, we seem to have procured a nearly new horizontal
milling attachment for the Beaver mill, so the 2ES is going to be
redundant.
We would like to see it go to a good home if possible, we bought it

I'm currently in the process of building mini dioramas based around the
Airfix Emergency, Refulling, and Recovery sets. So far, everything is going
