I've just done some precision drilling (at least it's precision for me!),
and what I really needed is one of those XY compound tables/vices so that I
could move the workpiece precisely under the drill.  The ones I've seen
listed in the Clarke's catalogue (cross travel vices) weigh ...

Gentlemen,
Can anyone direct me to a source of fine copper, PB or other non-ferrous
gauze for use as a water filter. The application is the filler of the
saddle tank of my 5" gauge NG Hunslet. I need enough two pieces

i just got one cheap. any caveats? i bet bill b has built
one.

petrol overflow  thing, that screws into the base of the carb, just

I need to sort out a poorly Crossley diesel injection pump. I have 3
spare pump bodies at my disposal, one with the pump plunger seized in

engine is leaking too much, presumably past the plunger, to reliably

I will work on an 1/25 scale AMT 1971 Dodge Charger R/T. As I do
everytime I will build a model, I look for a lot of details about that
car.
For that one, I want to open all the doors, so every parts of the car

Anyone know where I could get hold of some of this - it's for a car air
