If its any consolation, Jim, mere mortals like me are secretly pleased to hear even the greats have a bad day occasionally!


Yeah, it helps ... :down:


Says this with huge smile on his face, which is a first for the day ... :thumbs:

Reorganised my lighting. Put 2 fluorescents up and moved my spotlights!!!!. Made 2 sets of blanks up. Started turning and split one. Looks like I didn't glue it properly. The second set is finished and just waiting for the microcrystalline wax to dry before final polish and assembly!!!:thumbs:
Regards
Terry

Ended up a bad Sunday. The second pen upon assembly I found that one of the brass tubes was slightly on the large size. Can only assume that when I used the barrel trimmer I have accidently been off square and the drill has reamed a bit off the brass internally!!!!:down::down::down:
