The last tips, gadgets and builds special of MEW went down well. I've accumulated a number of suitable articles and hope to repeat the exercise in the early part of the New Year.

A couple of recent shop-made tools have led to me receiving nice articles with straightforward plans and a description to back up the photos. I also have received a nice larger build (that I may split over two issues as it is quite long with plans) and the plans for Jock Miller's taper-turning attachment have been CAD-ed by Peter King.

If anyone else has a reasonably concise tool or accessory build, do get in touch. Even if it doesn't go in the special, it's the sort of thing I like to include one or two examples of in each issue – and they seem to be appreciated by readers at all skill and experience levels
