Ta eveyone!
A lot of people would think that my lathe is nowt more than a toy, but used within it's limits it's fine for my ship modeling and pen turning.
About 6 to 8 pens now to do and that's Christmas sorted! I'll then take a rest, for a short while, as I've got a 1 meter Yacht to renovate (mostly renewing the electrics) and a London River Police Launch to build.
I suspect it will only be a short while as I enjoy turning - and still thinking of getting a larger lathe - I last did 'big' ie bowls, goblets & pepper mills at nightschool - 40 plus years ago!

I had a project when I had my factory.
Bait boats?
I vac formed a load of hulls in various shapes and sizes and built a substantial amount of boats.

Working with a certain Government department sending these things into places they weren't designed to go using GPS.

I only just got rid of a load of batteries for some Halloween project locally, I still have a few handsets / crystals and servos if they are any use to you?

Thanks Brian, no crystals used now (except for subs) it's all 2.4Gh, very kind of you to offer but I have all I need, I'll bet there are others on the forum who would take your offer up though.
