Possibly..................Our family has a legend where the 1st Holme to arrive in England, was a mercenary knight in the army of William the Conqueror.

Have you ever had one of those days. 

Well today was my turn.

A simple     job of soldering some feet on the fuel tank. Ran out of gas and knocked the engine off the bench. The cylinder lubricator now resembles a twisted sandshoe.

For a continuation refer to my scotch boiler thread. So much for three weeks doing real work

Did you run over a black cat on the way to the port? I prescribe a medicinal scotch or three to ease the pain.

Ouch Bob!!! Definitely not a good day when such things happen. Hopefully that was all the damage that was suffered (other than your pride of course) and that both can be repaired in short order. Btw, the boiler is looking great also!!!

Sorry to hear what happened.
Glad you didn't get hurt and damage was limited.

[Maryak]

Thanks for the commiserations 

Just one thing...... it proved the old adage............ "Never stand directly in front of or behind the cutting tool on a lathe."

Best Regards
