Dennis its really good mate that you and the elves have a LOT of brass sheet stock there available on the farm to make batch #2
I showed Olive some pics and he nearly jumped out of his skin and said and I quote "I am so jealous about these pumps ! 😜 Of course as a french guy he has to send one to me"!
Work is slow
1 and 1/4 hours work and 4 bits and not finished at that
What are they ?
