Exciting news! (For me anyway)

Ah thanks Gogsi,

The thing about the grain around the Tin & Antimony elements is I don't know it'l make that pattern till its been oiled. So it was a nice surprise.

Yep its an Excalibur EX-16 I have from Axminster. Ive had to buy a replacement lower arm & upper arm but thats because I've used it A LOT in the years that i've had it. So I'm surprised i havent had to replace anything sooner.

Part of me wishes i'd went for the EX-21 to have that little bit extra room for longer projects but the 16 does me fine. I've even made a shop sign with it as seen in the photo attached.

The Glasgow Science Centre also has it up on Display now as seen in these (badly taken) photos its backlit and everything.
Check out the FB link (my Keatocrafty page) which will show you it in the Science Centre.

But yeah I love my Excalibur & I'd definitely recommend one.

Looking forward to seeing your work when you post it on the forums

PS the letters 'L' of 'little' and 'T' of Thistle are actually in 2 parts. They were too big for the Ex16 so what i did to join them together was cut a jigsaw piece to join them. Seamless when glued.
