Jason, Bertie, Bill, thanks for the comments.
Yes it seems like a long time but it's been good to get back machining again.
Bertie - you've got your work cut out by the sound of things, I can't imagine not getting in my workshop over the winter - that's the best time
I do hope you get sorted soon
Jason, if that's the bar then it's going to be a big bore indeed
Look forwards to hearing about it in due course.
Now, I'm going to bring this thread to a close - I have just had a PM from Jadge who has taken offence. That was NOT my intent for as I said it was all done in a lighthearted manner - I guess I just shouldn't have said anything in the first place and just posted loads of pics of work in progress - possibly we have actually not quite got to being able to handle a bit of (my) humour it seems.
No - I'm not throwing my dummy out of the pram - just a realisation that this has gone the wrong way - I'll be back later with some pics of the Corliss when we'll all be a bit happier I hope.
Best regards to you all - sincerely
Just keep smiling
- Ramon
