I seem to spy some orange machine that comes from Austria I have some of her cousins here!

This is how it is, I proof read and spell check everything I write, bad grammar and spelling is really not good, however, and this is the however: Not everyone on this forum or in the world generally are native English speaking AND not everyone spent all of their formative years at school, some not by choice either. So rather than butting in and correcting people, I let them get on with it, the more you read and write, the better you get, if you get pulled up every five minutes you wont be able to read and write so less time to practice. People who are holier than thou with regard to reading and writing are clueless really as they have never considered it from any other perspective other than their own.

I'll admit that the loose/lose and off/of misuse does grate but I don't think I've ever corrected anyone over it. The other side is, if no-one mentions it, how would you know? So repeating the same error(s) without anyone mentioning it just reinforces your belief that you're using the correct words or spelling. An oft-used phrase is 'every day is a school day' surely that applies to the written word just as much as other types of knowledge imparted online?.

It's worth doing though. Sod's law says the first time something rolls off, it'll hit a rotating chuck.

Makes me wince when I see a shelf above a lathe.

 

[Farside]

I find these handy for gripping hoses, may be worth investing in a set?

@Memmeddu Shocked - you have Dentists in Italy (there is shortage of them in the UK)

Are your Dentists - state funded or private pay as you go?

Yes we have.
No problems to find one.
Little bit more of one to find a good dentist.
I've been at the dentist yesterday too
He took care of a tooth, I'm still in agony .
There are state funded which I don't trust any bit , and private

Readers of a nervous disposition should look away now. This post contains farmer welding...

Replacing the fuel lines on the chainsaws I have been fixing, I found the long nose pliers to short to get to the bottom of the tank without the handles hitting the edge of the filler hole. There was nothing available in the local shops on a Sunday and short of raiding the hospital operating theatre....
I got a set of the cheapest long nose pliers I could find around the house and did a cut and shut on the handles. Worked well. I might give them a tidy up and paint one day, maybe.

Thanks. Another one for the list.

Mast fitted today, plastic aerial mounts are no use for the big aerials as they flex too much so stainless ones required.
Boat in the second pic now wants one

Quite a compliment, as well as more paid work.

 

[Seadog]

I finally got peed off sufficiently with a missing grease cap on my Boxford, that I paid £8 for a length of 16mm stainless, and made one. I've only had the lathe 33 years

So happy with the result that I'll now need to a second to replace tge scabby original. It's lucky that I have some BSB taps.

You should have asked, I've got one just like that amongst the mixed crap in the top of my toolbox. My dad asked me to machine a replica, then sold the thing it came off before I even returned the original.

 

[Hitch]

Not made today, but been messing about moving these about for a show, before they go off to the customer. Big ol lumps.
Think I posted the base frame on this thread a month or two ago

That's how it happens for me. Do something that works, others see it and, I've got to have one of those. It is the best compliment to have

 

[northwest]

Further to this I think we need to as a group of people to stop believing we are more important or better than each other.

I am under no delusions, I do my best with what I have but I am no mastermind!

Not even an evil one.

 

[MattF]

...or better than each other.

What are those who are supposed to do though?

What are those who are supposed to do though?

be humble

 

[MattF]

That is actually a good response.

 

[Farside]

be humble

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When I'm such a helluva man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
But I'm doing the best that I can
