Browsing the site, I seem to already appear in your newsletter No.138 in the article about nails by Chris How....What a small world.

Tried to find that newsletter but I'm hopeless at trying to navigate TATHS webpage.

However, I did stumble across this free download. https://taths.org.uk/reading/taths-free-e-books/245-d-c-murray

You're not the only one. It takes a bit of tangential thinking to get round, that's for sure.

I'm in the article on clasp nails, nail geekdom!

You'll have to look under resources, then newsletters.

I picked up my copy in the mailbox this afternoon. It took 8 days to get here. Pretty good as packages from the US usually take as long or longer. Now to spend some time remembering how to turn pages.

When did you order your copy of the book?

 

[Droogs]

Great talk - pattern-makers and their tools are fascinating.

If you have a side interest in vices, the one in the right foreground of photo of the large patternmakers shop in Sheffield looks very like a quick release T J Syers (ie made in Bradford area and patented 1877, weeks before the very similar Entwistle and Kenyon, both less than 3 years before the rather different J Parkinson patent - all from Bradford).

Chester Spiers who was on our zoom chat seems to like vices.

You could try canceling your order from Waterstones and buy it directly from TATHS. I suspect that Waterstones have to order it from them anyway. The link - Warrington Chest
