Its ruggered already you have nothing to loose!

A very interesting pair of documentaries, my cousin went down in Lancaster ED603, OL-L, the tail-gunner who lost his contest with a night fighter.

well its in and working with both its inbuilt digi box and via the humax. So thank you all for help, and suggestions - rime to put the feet up. Gareth

Looks like things will be OK, as we have one scart socket, so thats the DVD player sorted, and two HDMI's for the Humax. Ahh! the joys of modern technology.

Thank you We will get the thing and see in what ways we can muck up the setting up process. Gareth

We need to get a new TV and the one we like the look of (LG 32") comes with a built in Freeview box, which I assume is fine, but we have a lot of stuff recorded on a separate Humax box, that provided that service for us as well as acting as a digi recorder. So will we be able to play the stuff...

I can't really afford LS or QS planes new so dabble in the 2nd hand market, with an illogical preference for Record. Guess I'm attempting to put both companies out of business by insisting on buying dodgy Stanley knockoffs instead of consigning them to the scrap bin. P.S anyone got a...

Non of this would have happened if Nixon had not gone to China!!

It funny how similar all my 19th C molding planes look to each other, no wonder we Brits buy cheap copies, just look what our Victorian ancestors got up to. Oh sorry I forgot - they were just generic!!

This is true, a few years ago a guy wandered into my workshop and wanted to buy several lengths of 6mm wire to make something he had just invented, which he was sure was going to be the way to his fortune. Excited at being in at the birth of a new marvel I finally got him to tell me what it...

I came across this whilst doing some research, its from the Hampshire Advertiser June 1877

My gob was smacked !!

Got mine this morning, and for the price paid it is what it is, quiet, with non determinable run out at full extension. The belt guard is a tad flimsy in plastic. The little booklet that comes with the machine implys that 10mm was originally the upper drill size, but the quite reasonable chuck...

Do you know anyone with a mag drill and a rotabroach, that would be my first option, then a fine tooth hole saw as plan B

Interesting, I always thought a Viceroy was an upmarket Boxford - learn something new everyday!

A Denford Viceroy would be nice, but that's the posh version I believe. G

Thanks for all the advice, I will pursue this a little further, and see where we go. Wish I could find a nice Boxford 4 1/2", at the price, it was the hunt for one of them that turned up the Myford (Pun for free). G

I have the chance to get a Myford ML8 on Myford metal stand for less than scrap price. Its the sort that schools used to have back in the 60's which was when I last did some turning. It has all the large lumps, tool rest, tail- stock, and a great non Myford looking bracket for I assume bowl...

Sue the manufacturers for not supplying a written warning over poking yourself in the eye with their product!

Here's a cigarette card to show you how to use one! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Mount-Cutters-Knife-Tools-How-To-Use-Them-Card-/360734470844?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item53fd7332bc
