Yes, they are good, I have a set by that maker in Size 2 (90mmx60mmx60mm) complete with storage box bought from a rummage sale for very little beer tokens.

Nice idea for the flat clamp plate, – job for the weekend

I "acquired" one of these blocks many years ago,it is the same as Graemes,though it did come with both sizes of clamp.I have never seen the clamping plate but it would be a good idea to make one,my block is 4ins x 3 ins x 3ins the two through holes allow the block to be clamped to a faceplate converting the block to a simple Keats vee block.

I doubt that it is commission – although I do recall, from the distant past, some discussion about a debt ( I think it was £3 ?) that he owes to Ketan………

LIES, all LIES.

It's Ketan that owes me £4.00 for the chips.

And don't forget Steven at Ausee Machine tools in OZ who also owes me two pounds.

It's no wonder I have to keep on working well after retirement age .

£59.50 in 1981 would have been a fair sum. I reckon that was about 1/2 a weeks wages at the time ?
