Apparently Copolla (spelling?) Carried a copy of Heart of Darkness with him the whole time they were filming and constantly referred to it. Conrad was a brilliant author, more amazing in that he spoke no English until he was twenty one!Snap! Welchman's contributions were massive to the effort, unsung in his time due to secrecy, unwarranted in some opinions.
Always got two or 3 on the go - would really recommend Conrad's Heart of Darkness, which influenced Apocalypse Now, the other stories are excellent also - Although being a Seadog you have likely already read them

His writing and character building is mesmerising at points, having finished 4 of his stories I'm looking for more.

@northwest, Consider using a rubber backed carpet tile ? They are usually 50 centimetres by 50 centimetres, or 20" inch square according to my mind. They have about a 2.5mm thick stiff rubber base, and about 4mm of carpet on top, so should fit; as I would think your side cab top would have about the same measurement as the side shelf on my roll cab, which is smaller being 18" inches by 17" inches. Here are a couple of photos.

Being pretty busy at home doing nothing....
Because I simply can't till I finish the convalescence.
I've been around eBay in those days and spotted few auctions I've been interested in but I just contained myself buying just one thing probably the hardest to find and the most expensive of all the stuff I was looking at.
So at the price of just 70 euros I've got this Milhard PBLS402 level, 0.02mm/m accuracy, pretty overkill for my needs ,but I want my microwave oven to be perfectly level
.
Just joking obviously, I've already have a lathe and I'll level it , and I hope to get other machines in the next future and having a levelled machine unlocks different ways to get rid of odd jobs.
We only have the skimmer and the journal grinder resting perfectly flat an level at work.
Now for example if we had the mill drill levelled, we would be a lot faster at removing broken studs because we could level the workpiece instead of wasting a lot of time setting it up on the table.

@ Memmeddu ,
Have received & fitted the new keyed 10 mm chuck today and used it in anger to pop three 7mm holes in 6mm thick plastic .
It's delicious , like warmed condensed milk , so smooth and easy to run up by hand before key tightening up on the drill .
A few min ago I had a good look at the removed keyless chuck , the jaws are a good 0.5 mm justified to one side and I suspect it is that, that caused the gravely grinding feeling when trying to tighten things in it .
I used a 0,7 mm clutch pencil lead, it drops down easily on one jaw , on the other jaws won't even enter the gap around the jaws when they are fully closed .
I'm well pleased with it , it came in a box branded " Sealy ".

I collected stuff from a few places last week..
An odd pipe wrench (USA made), odd Bacho adjustable, sturdy vintage tin snips and an Internal / External thermometer for the house - less than a fiver each from charity shops when I was visiting Scandinavia*
Also a Fastmover FMT 1.4 LVLP spraygun and Fakita ( makita clone) die grinder from EBay.
I love the Scandinavian bric a brack shops, open 6 days a week, folk hire a display stand and put their stuff on their stand with their personal price tag. When you pay at the cashdesk the tag tells the cashier which seller gets the money. Clever!
A shame it would never work in any country with a low trust / high theft culture <comments removed before posting>

I bagged a near £1000 pallet truck for £50. Collected it in the Rodeo which has overheating problems in hot weather and it was sitting at 100C on the (newly calibrated) temperature gauge all the way. Much already investigated and new radiator has been ordered.
It's only to move stuff sat on pallets on my driveway so I can extend the woodstore then roll the stuff back under there to make things look a bit neater and less like a building site. But cool to find a Toyota BT one made in Sweden with a 99 year guarantee that I imagine won't be valid any more but a good sign it might be well built.
That's pretty cool - it'll lift more than a tonne of bricks and has a walk feature where pulling the handle back moves the pallet when it's too heavy to pull.
