A friend just bought a place in France and discovered a cider press
lurking in a barn. In attempting to dismantle it he got a bit medieval
wivvanammer and snapped a handle off an iron casting. He dropped it off
with me and I faced the two bits, drilled, bored and tapped them, and
made a stud to match (1/2" BSP on the grounds that I had a tap and die
in that size!).
This evening the repaired job is on its way back to him. It pleases me that the original probably lasted a hundred years before my mate had a moment of madness and now there's no reason that I can see that it won't last another hundred.
Sorry, just wanted to revel in the fact that we can *do* stuff... ;^)
