Hey,Jay Sco,not so fast cowboy,I ain't dead yet!:lol_hitti It's been a couple of years since my last confession......... Had a pretty tough two or three years; Mum's dementia got real bad so she had to move to a care home. Father in law passed away with cancer. Work dried up...

Re: Show us your cool " old " drill press After a quick clean-up I made a new bench for it.Now back in service and used daily.Works fantastic! I managed to contact the manufacturer who still keep all the old hand written company records.According to my serial number,it's a MK2 model born on...

I just make sure my wife is equiped with a good vacuum cleaner and a decent mop!:beer:

Respect to the guy for doing his shopping in a blown flatty powered 'T'! I'm a 'Southern shandy drinking wa***er' from Surrey.:bounce:

I'm in Armadale,West Lothian,about half way between Edinburgh and Glasgow.I'm also originally from south of the border. Not too bad where we are though we have our own fair share of druggies/shite bags!:lol_hitti

Hi and welcome from just down the M8!

I'd agree with that.Along wth the usual catalogue of components,our supplier also has a design book which lists the components required for certain designs. They will also supply a kit of components/materials to assemble a set of gates.

Re: Show us your cool " old " drill press Here's my 'new' drill press.My two sons got together and bought it for my 50th birthday last week. It's a Meddings 'Pacera' bench mount.Needs a clean up after being in storage for the past year or so but works fantastic,far better than the modern ****...

Hi Mark and welcome from a fellow HAMBer and Model 'A' junkie. Some good guys on here such as Breeze and JC(see above) who paint **** whilst wearing womens underwear.:lol:
