Kevin Kenny Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share #511 Posted January 5, 2022 The brass clamps come from Lee valley. I have since checked and there are many suppliers as these are traditional Japanese wood working clamps so you might get them cheaper elsewhere. .

Kevin Kenny Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share #513 Posted January 14, 2022 Just passed my 7th day with Covid. Bad cough. Fever for three days, chest pain when I cough, might have pulled a mussel, so keeping out of the workshop. I must have picked it up on the way down from New York. Good news is I’ll live.

yvesvidal Posted January 14, 2022 Share #518 Posted January 14, 2022 Kevin, Hope you recover fast. The great weather of the islands will help you immensely. You should also take daily some zinc and vitamin D3 to stop the replication of the virus. And get as much sunshine on your skin as you can.
