Hi Captain Steve

 

Thank you.

I cannot wait to finish her.

 

Next build is the Royal William that my wife gave me as a birthday present but only opened it a week ago.

 

Again thank you Sir.

Hi All

 

Re Byrnes tools and the extractors fitted to them.

 

I went to the hardware shop and got a straight coupler 40mm and a 32mm bend.

 

To make the coupler fit over the extractor fitting on the tools, I loaded up the Dremel with a drum sander and sanded the inside on one end, it now is a tight fit.

The bend fits on the other end and the vacuum cleaner plugs on the end of that.

 

Denis.

Hi Mtdoramike

Thank you.

I have been working on her for a bout 2 years ( don't forget this site crashed and we all had to re post the logs, that is why you see the date 2013 ) I do about 2-4 hours a night.

Hi All

 

I love this time of year, yes another birthday ha ha :D.

 

This is my new thickness sander.

 

When the wife goes out I will make some saw dust.

I agree with Brian, I also have the same one plus a bigger one by Roybe that is motor feed and not by hand. But for small stuff you can't beat the one you have, it is well worth the money and will last a life time. That why you never see them for sale on ebay, at least I haven't see them.

Hi Denis!

 

I do agree with 11 out of 10 for your rat lines, but I think your new signature gets the same rating. Very clever!!

 

I have to agree with Sailor123456880 though and ask for more pictures and showing more of your magnificent build :)

Hi Bindy

Are you talking about the RW signature, yes its first class a very special lady I know did it for me :D  :D  :D  ;)  ;) ;) ( thank you ).
