I wear spectacles.   Without them I am pretty much as blind as a bat.

You will all no doubt not be at all surprised that I haven't ye

parenthood for the first time). I have read the Tubal Cain steam engin

I'm rearranging my garage and so need to get rid of some stuff:
Fabco Star bench mount pillar drill.  Looks about 40 years old, well
used - missing the table but as it's a bench mounted version it's not a
big deal, has a compound  vice mounted on the base.  Single phase.

country??
dont wanna bid on something that has poor decal options...

mmmmmm, this could get interesting.  they are also offering a 1/18
V-1..
looks like a way to get the large scale planes in the house, so I can

Now that I've got Sky+ (in the same room as the lathe!!) I can access
roughly 11 billion TV channels. Are there any that show programs on
model engineering or do I have to buy the DVDs?

while we're on the subject... I'd value some input on steel for the
following:
one of the things I'm doing requires a stub axle to carry a wheel.  This is
20mm dia., and I currently make them (as described in more detail recently)

Anyone know what happened to this site? Seems to have been down awhile. Hope
it hasn't died...

I just saw the 1/35 Bronco Staghound for $60!!
GEEZ.....I can get the 1/32 Revell Martlet kit for $19.
