Good morning Stanley, watch where that welding splatter goes :surprised: Hope the new screen works well and make welding a pleasure for you. Its a blue sky out there today Stanley so the cylinders should get cast today fingers crossed all goes well.

Re: SHED MATTERS 2

Hi Stanley,

I've never been known as a nagging women believe it or not :wink: but I will give it a go at getting the casting done. I don't want a stop in production as I will not have anything to look at on a daily basis. :grin:

love and hugs,

Sarah

Re: SHED MATTERS 2

Morning Stanley, All looks good to me and not slow at all either, as you say no heroic cuts or speeding up as something will go wrong or a mistake be made. No doubt like most of us you will have learnt the hard way go steady or you will wish you had of done :grin: Cheers Mick

Re: SHED MATTERS 2

Hi Stanley, just looking at your Progress 2 drill there, mine must be more akin to yours, I have a switch like John's but I am sure there is no reverse cast into it, mine has the same Progress badge as yours on the front and the same cast stand that the actual pillar fits into. I a sure we could mak...

Hi Stanley, hope your feeling better and the shed is back in sight for your return. Glad you did not do too much damage , as you say lucky you landed on a flat area or who knows. You reminded me of when my dad had a fall and when asked by the doctor at A&E if he had hurt his wrists , he replied ...

Re: SHED MATTERS 2

Hi Stanley , glad to see you are attacking the castings off John, I wonder if he knows the sizes are different? , as he seemed to think they were the exact match from what I remembered, I will mention it to him when I speak to him. As you say you can adapt to suit what you would like to build anyway...
