Hi Keith, get well soon mate, you have been missed. I hope it’s not something TOO serious?
fletty

Get well soon.

I am starting to get withdrawal symptoms. No updates on Keith's Stephenson's Rocket build. I am seeing lots of doctors every day. Only cure - new posts.

Sorry to hear the news Keith and hope that you are on the mend. Nothing worse than not being able to get and do something that you love making as the detail you put into your models just goes to show the love you have for the hobby.
Get well soon

Come on now, a seasoned professional like yourself shouldn't be embarrassed to tell us all that you inadvertently superglued your finger tips together and had to get them surgically separated!!

sorry, couldn't help myself. Hope it's nothing to serious and your on the mend.

If you didn't live on the other side of the world I would have guessed we have been passing each other in the hall ways on our way to the Quacks!!!
I had also been having
Stephenson's Rocket withdrawal symptoms!!!

Come on Keith with all this positive energy flowing your way, you must be almost fully recovered by now sir...

Or is it you're just appreciating all the extra attention especially from the lovely Cathy....

Get well and truly well too quick good friend... Cheers, Peter

Thanks Peter,

Yes Cathie has been absolutely fantastic

I was out in the shed yesterday doing a bit more work on the tender - so I think I am slowly on the mend.

Should be able to post some WIP photos today or tomorrow.

SINCERE THANKS for everyone's well wishes - most appreciated my friends.

Regards

Keith

Take it easy to start with Keith. Looking forward to any work you do to this build.

Hi All,

Back out in the shed a bit. I have been working on the upper section of the tender. I have made the top section out of pine and the logitudinal timber infills are made of oak. I have used 1mm nails to nail the oak to the pine uprights and also used PVA glue to ensure they stay in position.

Next I will prepare the base of the tender and then the supports for the "wine barrel" water container.

Good to be back out in the shed

Regards

Keith

Look mummy some proper woodwork.

Looking great Keith and glad you are fit enough to get back and do a little in the workshop. Gardening has taken me away from the shed for a few days so work is slow for me
