    Thanks Bob,
    At the rate I am going I am not going to get to the mill to use it for a couple of weeks. I have got half the shed in now and probably won't finish it till tomorrow. I estimate I have two ton of ally, brass and various steel plates and bars that need to be housed yet. I didn't reailse how much I had gathered in the last ten years. Amazing how a weekly trip to the scrap yard produces so much material. It was tucked in where it fitted and it is time to organise it properly and more important to stop going to the scrap yard. Hmmm not sure about missing my weekly ritual to the scrap yard.

    So thanks for the offer to borrow the collet chucks but probably best I don't take them and be diverted from the task at hand. I am still doing house renos and need to get back to those chores - best to keep SWMBO smiling else we will have to make our own coffee.
    Cheers,
    Rod

    Just to show how my shed is here is a photo. I lost interest at the end and just plonked stuff in where it fitted. After a week of pulling it all out, shifting the mill, then putting it all back in I was over it.
    I will have to tidy it all so I don't trip over things or bruise my hips but my shed is at best organised and never neat.
    I think the shaper will have to go.
    Cheers,
    Rod

    Hi Stuart,
    I keep teasing SWMBO that I am going to put the shaper in the activity room. Not like she is going to be able to move it once it is there and it would make a great talking piece.

    Only problem is I would have to check under her pillow each night to make sure the staysharp isn't there.
    Cheers,
    Rod

    If she is like my SWMBO Rod, there wouldn't be too much talking. Now, with shouting, that could be another matter. Also, she wouldn't need a staysharp, any words that she did utter, would be very sharp.
    Nice toys by the way and friendly natives your way too, offering tooling till you get set up. Well done BT.
