Do they still switch the electric off at midnight there?

Thanks for all the useful replies folks, one or two ideas that I'll
look into. David, your suggestion about the George Thomas book sounds
promising - I've got a number of 'standard' workshop books, but not
just that one. I completely lost the plot in the thread joking about
the 'bar-made' though I'm afraid.

All the best
Mike

Mike,
Oh dear! Why is a bar made hot in the middle? So that you
can bend it!

As for George Thomas, the Divine, there are two books- or three but
you want the Model Engineers Workshop Manual and you also want
'Workshop Techniques' which is the joining of his earlier Dividing and
Graduating and the Universal Pillar Tool.
I have most of the Pillar Tool built and have to add the sensitive
drilling attachment and the small dividing head described there. Our
kind Chris Edwards passed on his kit for something called the
Headstock Dividing Attachment- free gratis- and my thanks. In the
Workshop Techniques book information is given on the dials described
in the Manual.

Again, I have quite a few other GHT items such as a rotary table and
rear tool post.

Others will agree that they have also followed 'the words and music'

I am now going off at a tangent- which GHT explains- and concentrating
on a fabricated Stent tool and cutter grinder- which mysteriously
arrived in my shed.

I am too old for 'barmaids' and now concentrate on frothy dialogue!

Cheers

Norman
