Looks good so guess I will have to hope they re-appear later in the year and get there at opening time!

Insurance companies seem to want receipts so try and keep as many as possible somewhere safe.

This is important for losses or disasters and may well save you from some extra agro and possible additional financial loss.

Worth looking at Sandisk USB Memory Sticks for storage. The ones I have come password protected, better than bits of paper just one long password to remember.

I do not think Lidl (UK) have that system, Aldi do have online ordering and some online special offers.

Thanks for the thought though.

Not really an answer to the original question but the HP Sprout integrated system might be good.

I did look in my two nearest LIDL stores on Thursday morning without any luck. Guess it’s back to annoying the neighbours with disk cutters etc!

Look forward to reading how you get on because some items like that tend to appear again after a few months and I generally have good regard for tools bought from Lidl and Aldi.

Photo chemicals

These people (link above) were used by a former colleague who dabbled in old photo processes a long time ago now, might be worth checking out.

Welcome back Ian.

Watching that takes me back to my post Apprenticeship days in the late 60s and some time spent at Reading Maintenance Depot..

There was a Staff Canteen behind Reading Station which seemed to be open all hours, lots of Railway Staff used it we found it was very handy on shift work (good food beats sandwiches at 2am that’s for sure).

I had stopped working in that area by about 1970 so have no idea what happened to this facility after that..

I seem to remember seeing something vaguely like that in the Proxxon cat not sure about the Abracs system though.

That looks very good fun and your Merryweather engine runs well and sounds really nice.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Merry Christmas.

looks to me as though your drill will be on trend colour wise.

There is a Society of Ornamental Turners who have a stand at some ME Exhibitions.

Work seems to go from jewellery size up to large objects and watching the machinery is fascinating especially as some of it looks very old.

I have put a link to the SOT Website here as it might have information on modding lathes:-

I like that explanation.

My own take on it would be ouch followed by a swear word when they snap and get me!

Ouch really sorry to hear it she will take a long time to get over that!

If you are any where near a Timpson store take the damaged phone in to them for an estimate I found .surprisingly low Repair  costs.

I have no connection to them other than being a satisfied customer and many other repairers are available.

Love watching this and it’s nice too see Concord flying again, just as an aside does anyone know how the two flying locomotives work.
