Lugz, I'll keep that in mind sir. At the moment the Heliograph is a rather fun item on my fire place that my friends and family like to talk/mess with. But if I find a time where it could move on I'll give you first offer on it :)

"How-do and Af-T'ernoon folks!" Weathers improving in Yorkshire (13C or 55F today) and the fleamarkets, carboots and antique shows are properly kicking back into season! :bounce: Nipped over to Skipton today for a antiques fleamarket in the Livestock Market.....talk about looking for treasures...

Ahhhhh... thought that might be the case. Although I'd imagine they'd be a ****** to use in confined spaces, especially if working on a small nut with that big adjustable head flailing about. Interesting though cheers Outlaw
