Still here

Although not modelling at present I'm still around I'm converting my Taig/Peatol lathe to  fixed power feed of the main carriage and the hand held feed for the top slide as my hand will no longer grip small handles without cramping I've taken a bunch of pic's.
I'll post when finished as too many changes required after I thought it was finished.

you don't need to be modelling to be taking part, my friend.......just there in spirit...........is it arthritis setting in..............was all for giving it up myself after I finished this ferry but someone cunningly dumped a nice plug for a lifeboat I have always wanted to build on my doorstep...........so selling off all my tools and buying an old BSA has come to a halt again, lol

Don't really know Neil it may be athur itis, osteoporosis or polio apparently I have a type that doesn't show effects until around 30yo just trying to keep modelling it doesn't effect the mid finger of right hand I type with lol so all's good.

Nowt but pooter now cold winter start 3pm and 9c or 48f But am putting cash aside for a Forrest classic paddler.

Hi matey..........you might want to think again on that one after reading this artiicle on modelboatmayhem as apparently all it is is some plans and some lumps of wood..............I reckon you could scratch build one yourself far better.
