I wonder if he still lives with his mother and wears cardigans.......
OK I'm kidding obviously. I'm really just a tad jealous the truth be known.
Not only of all his gauges but also the fact that he obviously has skills that require such accurate instruments. I still find a tape measure more than enough for most of my work although some of my closer tolerance stuff demands the use of my rule

Hells bells why is it so hard to insert smilies in this new forum format? Any one else having problems with inserting smilies? Firefox browser??, slow connection??. I might go back to lurking, dang it.
Cheers.
PS Merry Christmas and happy new year to all, and sundry of course and, and, the others too, naturally.If I'm not right, then I'm wrong, I'll just go bend some more bananas
