cog Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share #272 Posted August 15, 2018 Thanks all for the likes and the positive feed back, it keeps the spirits up and the going less tough I'll try to get those numbers on at the sides, Yesterday eve after studying the rust streaks etc, I perceived it to be possible without to much fuss, and some elbow grease ... so the speck of light is growing to lamp size ... good to have some additional light sources to work with, else I would be in the dark ...
