Looking promising Jim, I can't see that new workshop staying clean long. :sob:

I`m hoping to get some "new to me" kits turned tomorrow, spent parts of today at the engineers supplies shop buy new drill bits as I hadn`t got any the right size for the bigger brass tubes, then it was over to my engineer mate who's turned me a couple of sleeves so my barrel trimmer fits said brass tubes........I only wanna turn some pens :idontknow:

Look forward to seeing the results of your labours
