4000 Strong!!
« on: June 26, 2017, 12:27:19 PM »
Overnight we passed the 4000 mark in total members. Now the challenge (as always) is to get more of those members active and posting. Currently only 814 of that 4001 have posted two or more times. Please invite a friend to join, or if they are already a member but lurking...encourage them to share what is going on in their shed. Numbers are just that...numbers...our strength and growth come from the diversity of our membership, and the continuing stream of new projects (or even old ones taken down off the shelf).

Thanks to all of our active members for making this such a great forum. Let's all take on the challenge of making it even better!!

I am just on the southern edge of Hampshire, I hope I can get away with it if Jo builds one of those casting kits before adding another.

In that case your days are numbered Mike, don't think that table would even take the weight af a Jaffa.

Maybe we should all pop round to Jo's with a casting or two and play that game where whoever places the final casting prior to collapse gets to keep the lot :LittleDevil:

Never built an engine from someone else's casting. I don't have any, so cannot play the table collapse game.

I'm sure Eric could lend you some Mike.

Talking of which I may get a chance to talk Eric out of some castings at the Guildford show as his usual customer won't be there at the front of the que. I'm sure a few crisp 50s would help, much better than those grubby old moth ridden ones some people have that they like to hold onto :mischief:

 :thinking: sounds like someone has sold his Greeny castings then...


I had a quick count up and no I don't have 4000 casting sets  :hellno: but there is still time  :naughty:
