Another very enjoyable installment Gary, really enjoying these and such a pleasure to watch you work and explain the various steps.

Are/were you a professional machinist by trade?

Thanks gentlemen for your kind comments and yes Jim I was a machinist (just retired) by trade, I did my apprenticeship at AIS (Port Kembla Steelworks)
and then worked in Nowra machining gearboxes for a farm machinery manufacture, (long gone) I then joined the Air Force and became a Aircraft Engine technician.
All the best
Gary.

Thanks Nick for your kind words, skills are always gained by practice and mistakes and I'v made lots of the latter.
Regards

Just got to watch this now Gary, what a brilliant series this is.

Such a pleasure to watch a skilled machinist at work and terrific to follow from the beginning to where you're at now.
