Now all that IT talk my son would know, he is the one into fancy lights flashing and graphics for gaming, I still use a cheap laptop for my work.

But we can tell you have the proper websites loaded on your computer and a dedicated screen to chat with us.

Hello Daniel,

That's a very nice looking magnifier. I have been looking for one also. Can you tell me who make's it?

Thanks,
Bill

Hello Bill
I bought the lamp in romania so the transport to us will be very costly
If you look on the info of this video will find something good near you

Go figure. Now that 90% of the soldering on my current project is complete my resistance soldering unit arrived today. Actually it's my fault because I just ordered it 4 days ago.
In any case I'll be 'practicing' on some scraps first.

Hi Norway... Where did you buy the little anvil?

He may have bought it in Lillehamar!

Watch out for Mr Bean.

Sorry to say, but Mr.Bean had a BL Mini, it was Del Boy Trotter with a Reliant Robin (Only Fools & Horses TV Series).

As ever, there's a cheaper version of the block plane on Aliexpress - and free postage.

I recently purchased this motorcycle lift, made a 'trolley' for it, put 'lazy- Suzzi' on it, all to make a comfortable work station to do the rigging. I can raise & lower & turn thru 360*, plus my chair is height adjustable.

Looks very functional. Can I ask if it is prone to tipping over, that would be very disconcerting.
Thanks for sharing Stuart

Not much chance of that happening, as it is quite heavy, as it's designed to support motor cycles. You can view on ebay for full details. The trolley helps by increasing the footprint slightly. It's designed to carry 400 kg.

I got these 3rd hands today. They work exactly as I hoped. Puts the working area very close to the table. The strong magnets for the 4 clamps gives you a lot of flexibility. The tiny clamps are perfect for photo etch or other small objects.

With many thanks and a few apologies to Steef66. I copied his thickness sander - https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/drum-sander-thickness-sander-diy-with-plans.10325/ - because I felt that at some stage I may need one should I ever decide to do some serious modeling. However, Steef66's model was a little to large for my limited work space and garden shed so I down scaled to a third his measurement size. These didn't quite work out so improvisation took over. Sadly the only drop saw available didn't or could not be adjusted to cut true 90 degree angles which resulted in much hair pulling and lessons in new languages. Over-all the end result is okay but I will remake the sanding drum, eventually. Finally, the construction was finished. So, apologies to 'Grand Master Steef66' for drawings and Uncle Alli links complete with apologies for not achieving the same high standard of workmanship he presented. But at least I tried. (the piece of timber trialed is New Zealand Totara, an off cut from a tree currenting being carved into a Māori Waka ay Corbans Art centre)

 

[ConsNZ]

Oh Yeah! next project "make and extraction system" way too much sanding dust. .
