Sulaire · Dec 27, 2020

nothing to do with me PT that's how I bought it. A search on the internet plus some odds and ends included led me to the conclusion that it was a del prado Bounty and I'll have a go at scratch finishing it

I have finally moved my workshop upstairs and am in the process of setting it up - part of my Christmas included a stereo setup, my bride got me some Jamo C93 II speakers and I picked up a 90’s vintage Adcom 545II amp to match up with a Kenwood C1 preamp, I went through the preamp and changed all the caps and the IC op-amps following a thread on audiokarma.com just finished it and hooked it up today and it is sounding great! Now I can get on with finishing the workshop and get back to my Le Coureur and others...

Almost nothing like music of your selection to provide an enjoyable background as you work through the builds. Enjoy both. Rich

Absolutely agree Rich, It truly is “the universal language of mankind.”

That's a serious set of tools. Nice

I inherited some tools from my Father in law. He has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t do wood working any more. Does anyone know what this is? It has two calipers on each end and a piece of aluminum flat bar 7mm thick. I’m guessing some sort of leveling instrument but I’m not sure.

More workshop embellishments- I sent my Byrnes saw in for an extended table and sliding sled upgrade, I asked Jim to look it over and do a refurbishment on it - I think he just gave me a whole new saw! Added a new miter gauge and new blades etc....Happy New Year!!!

when I was hospitalized last week, I received the copper tape for the hull of my Trinidad from china, so I can start it (I'm a bit scared of it but it will have to be done)

You can usually find copper tape at stained glass stores. Different widths. Typically used to join glass pieces together.

Just received this late Christmas present from the Admiral. Paint set and 2 super fine detail brushes, brass sheet, mini hex head bolts, washers and nuts, some nails, big needles, grabby tools and 3 sanding belt packages. Sent 3 the same instead of the 3 different ones that I ordered. Their (Micro-Mart) customer service is awesome, already sending the correct belts and told me to keep the extra 120G belts.
