This effort amongst so many more earned the President the prestigeous Nobel Prize. Power of a pen.

This week end I was working for a potter, he had made some porcelain pictures which he wanted to hang in wooden frames so I knocked some up; he will pay me in porcelain trivet inserts!! He has already taken 3 before these

An opportunistic bloke has been advertising for a long time to buy old watches. As a by product he told me he had a few old wind ups I could strip for my projects.

Too hot out in the w/shop so I stripped them inside.

Dragged out my old Jewellers Screw Driver and gave them a hurry up with the Diamond files they were tiny screws etc.

Unbolted the Maglamp from a wall in the shed and got into them..

Made a mental note get some quality mini screw drivers.

Been busy in the workshop for the last 3 weeks with commissions the strangest of which were these bagpipe reed covers made from Delrin

Like the reed covers Doug I was asked once to make from scratch a full set of pipes from Ebony of course finding the Ebony was to be on me . I declined. Using Delrin was a master stroke mate so fits the bill.
