Morning all, hope you are well. Just a quick plea before I rush off to
pick up the daughter from the airport. Where can I get a couple of
scrapers, maybe a 8/10" flat and a smaller three square. I've looked at
the usual culprits but can't seem to see anything listed. A few weeks

Where can these be obtained from? I have a 9" southbend lathe, which is in
bits and unfortunately the lubricators for the headstock are missing. Anyone
know where I can obtain some of these?

from Revell but haven't had any luck.  Does anyone have a copy they'd be
willing to scan and forward to me?

I have some plastic, that I wish to crush or mill intoa very fine
