Satisfaction.....

Is that soluble or neat ?

As long as it's saliva resistant.

Sounds as if you have been at the sheep again.

Not everyone has your predilection for the ovine species Neil, but thanks for sharing.

In fact, it's been far worse in the past. Rows of old engines and junk of all types down the garden path and filling the workshop to the point that there was no longer any space left to get in to do serious work.

Most of that's gone and it's far better now. Also have the benefit of a small rented store on a farm around 20 miles away, though that needs serious clearing attention at the mo. When we do move, everything possible will be moved to the store beforehand, leaving only a minimum to move on the day.

Logistics. Fun, all this, isn't it :-)....

Can't argue with any of that - symptoms of the fever include exhaustive trawls of the web for information, checking prices and availability on Ebay / dealers and the desire to talk a lot about it a lot. I think it's starting to subside a bit now though, A return to reality and terra firma perhaps.

After someone at work used to say: "After detailed and very extensive research" :-)...

And because i had the temerity to question what you said, you then got into defensive / confrontational mode. Sorry, but I tend to question everything here, or at least check things out for myself. In particular from people who post stuff like:

Mark had already told me about arc-eurotrade, who sell some very nice Torrington needle roller thrust bearings, down to 6x14x3.1 mm, so all I need to do is bore out one half of the micrometer dial side by ~3mm, drop the bearing in and it's done !. The other side may need something smaller, but it still must be do-able - probably ball thrusts in fact.

Oh, I understand Tom. We "Poms" are not completely stupid and we have a healthy suspicion of and disrespect for authority as well, especially when it's got nothing constructive to say :-)...

Chris

No breeding yet, but No3 has just arrived. I don't think they're as heavy as they're made out to be ;-)

Here sitting on my 1-tonne trailer

Oh Goody - we can have another enlightening discussion on lifting lathes

AWEM

What you see there is, I believe, the approved method for the Monarch

Please discuss all you like

Tim

I was waiting for picture 3, the one with the big splash and the shocked ducks :)

Dave

No that's the Boxford saga

Actually it was a Viceroy

Tim

Best have a refresher on 10EEs, Tim.:-) The approved method does not have any of the strops placed under the bed.

Tom

Mooring weight for narrow boats? Seems apt.

I suppose only a LeBlond Regal could top that?

Tom

OK, strictly speaking their method involves a strop or chain through the centre of the bed & around a piece of timber below the bed, mine uses one around a bed cross-member, but that's just a question of finding the balance point. The 10EE is usually shorter, the balance point probably doesn't coincide with a cross-member.

Cheers Tim

I've sent your refresher. :-)

Tom

No need he's already done it.
