As you asked: I think this will interest you Michael, a mate's grandfather built this lathe in the '30s; his father (now 90) inherited it & built 8 working steam scale locomotives & numerous stationary & traction engines with it.

michael mott Posted September 14, 2021 Author #910 Posted September 14, 2021 Update The surgery went well my hand is still a bit sore with the usual post op type pain while healing occurs. I have some pain medication that I have been using occasionally and with caution. more time reading books less time on a computer. more time sitting in the garden smelling the encroaching fall smells My son and granddaughter brought a home made lasagna by yesterday it was delicious. kudos to my Daughter in law!

Take your time and don't give in to forum pressures I hardly dare to say that we are just back from tasting Italian food in Italy ... spent a few days in Venice.

michael mott Posted September 21, 2021 Author #923 Posted September 21, 2021 The post op appointment went well stitches removed, looks a bit ugly at the moment will be able to get it wet again in a couple more days. Doc was pleased with the progress and my feedback regarding the lack of pain. There is a little bruising that will subside over time. I told him that i was using my fingers and he was pleased told me to keep doing it, I confided that I would lay of the WWF boxing for a while yet though, Made him laugh during these stressful days for the medical profession.

druxey Posted September 21, 2021 #924 Posted September 21, 2021 Good news, Michael. Thanks for letting us know. Doctors need a good laugh these days.

wefalck Posted September 21, 2021 #925 Posted September 21, 2021 That's kind off-topic, but during the first colonoscopy I had (in Austria they do without general anaesthetics, unlike here in France), the doctor asked me, whether I would care to look on the screen at what he was doing - provided me with completely new insights into myself michael mott, Jack12477, Keith Black and 3 others 3 3 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux

michael mott Posted March 28, 2022 Author #928 Posted March 28, 2022 Well I woke up this morning with a hankering to cut wood, so I cleaned off the workbenches and then started cutting wood. I completed the notches on the starboard side now to get back to steaming. Feels good to be back in the shipyard.
