Today I got into the workshop later in the morning and didn't manage to get much done really. I didn't trust myself to do anything accurate but did manage to burn out my Proxxon drill! Its seems to be one of those months what with all the troubles with changing hosting plans and current poor health. So I know one present i would like for Christmas now, but the trouble is its need now also. The Proxxon is used quite a lot and will certainly be needed over the coming days so it looks like this poor pensioner is going to buy one.

The good news is that the copper for the ash pan arrived late morning so tomorrow I will be able to take my frustrations out on bashing metal. Hopefully there will be some progress photo's of trying to get the metal to go into a different shape than it wants to.........we shall see.
