Not what i wanted to hear

Just had the doctor out to be told no standing for 8-12 weeks but could be longer also physiotherapy coming out twice weekly maybe three times starting this week. Bloody leg is killing me all to do with the spine.

I am not a happy bunny, may have to botch up somehow to turn sitting down.

I hope things improve soon Derek. Until then, take it easy.

If I get any good days will spin something up so that I can play with THIS and also brought THIS, THIS, THIS in 1/2" long handled, a set of THESE in 16TPI and THIS 4" rest.

Plenty of Toys there Derek. Going through the mill myself for a while booked in for all sorts of tough stuff.

No probs in sitting down to turn mate I choose to always do this, no need to get fancy anything, I use a draughtsman swivel seat and sit above the lathe a little and can turn all day without discomfort. When I first decided to do this it was with an eye to efficiency, locating the press at eye height alongside etc I can turn,finish and assemble etc. Swivel around to my left and use my large Mill Drill.

All the best ....Peter.
