    Default 's New Acquisition

    A small lathe became available after one of our club members upgraded. It was earmarked for the scrap yard as no one within the club put their hand up for it. After a quick call to and a few snaps the lathe has now found a new home. I just need to now work out a way to get it on a pallet and on it's way to Mexico.

    Oh no! We need a bigger shed. But I know he has always coveted a big Wadkin. I hope the little one doesn't feel offended.

    They are not exactly scarce over here, but still much prized by their owners.

    Well done on saving that beauty.

    Default Serpentine Belt Conversion

    , If you get sick of the click, click, click, of the leather belt, or if it is slipping, or won't stay on the proper pulley, here is an alternative. Heavy 10 serpentine belt??
    So much timber, so little time.

    I'm just amazed that nobody at the club wanted it.
