I'm also wagering he doesn't belch,fart,snore, or require "guy time" at the pub

Sounds like he is not a real man

Not exclusive to the male of the species. ... I remember one IBM System/360 operator was not called 'Jaqui the Ripper' without damn good reason ...

Another addition to Mr Silky's collection of tools: You may remember that when he first arrived he tried a travelling steady on for fit and he made it clear did not like it 

Following extensive study and many rejected designs  His first travelling steady is based on the KISS principal. It is designed to work both for supporting normal cutting and for thread cutting at the appropriate angle  .

[Ridjobradi]

KISS looks like an excellent idea.  Thanks for sharing.

Too simple. It'll never work.....

Simple and elegant!!  Sometimes the simplest solutions are indeed the best...especially if Mr. Silky approves

Oh dear 

Another of Mr Silky's friends has lost all self control and found he can't live without new friend of his own 

Maybe Jason was right: All Hardinge HLV-H's need to come with a health warning "fondle me at your own peril"

Not yet, this one has been purchased by another of the forum members and is not due to be picked up until after Xmas. In the meantime its new owner has to try to find space for it in his workshop 

I could of course help him there but he currently is hoping that he does not have to get rid of Son of Tgs or his Schaublin SV12 to make the required space but I remain hopeful 

Any way you wouldn't want to see the workshop at the moment it is full of Orphans

He could always get rid of a set of traction engine castings if tight for room

They are not even in that shed and I don't want them or the various bits of Loco 

Except maybe the 1831
