    Don't stress......although i can't say i've been there i dropped out of yr11.....

    As for the guard, some Q bond type product works well on die cast, since you can't really do any soldering, brazing etc with it.

    This project is looking very good & nearing completion.
    If you happen to get tired of the shaper or do not have a use or space for it, Andre, please give me first offer.
    All the best
    regards

    ps Nothing wrong with Imperial & I know Steamwhisperer Phil will be with me on that comment !
    Also like the 0-1/2" Moore & Wright micrometer. I have always had a need for one of these in Starrett or Moore & Wright.

    How do you feel you went in the English exam? Nov 5 is only 11 days away. Your shaper will last forever. It will still be there in 2 weeks after the exams. Don't be losing too much time on that, if you could be brushing up for exams.*

    * I say that as a father that has a daughter also doing year 12. Its a cruel and unusual punishment, HSC / VCE exams, but it will all be over soon.

    Regards Phil.

    That doesn't sound good. How does that happen, sitting an exam for a course you never studied. NSW is such a strange place.

    However, if there was ever any one that could pull a rabbit out of the hat when it came to metals and engineering, it might be you. Good luck man.

    This happens when they think a school based apprenticeship is the same as the year 12 course which is not offered at our school
