An interesting morning for me for a change, been asked for help from three different people, first on how to set and adjust an air gauge for a nonstandard size, second on how to set and turn a set of internal soft jaws, apparently my response of "f
king carefully!!" wasn't the help he was looking for!!! And lastly the current Alpha (semi manual lathe) operator asking how he would be able to achieve a .002" rad in a corner on a diameter that's only .008" long in the first place!!! If anyone's interested the answer is adapt an internal groove tool, which has a .002" rad on the corner already, feed down the face at the required length to the diameter required and then withdraw the tool form the face along the created diameter!!!

StuntLecturerBoy eh? It could be worse though, at least the company have not tting it! He will drive it back to Stoke, we will load it, go somewhere local and tip and reload it several times.
I have my dental appointment then, so I may go out with him Tuesday Wednesday and see how he gets on.
I’m like ‘ but I thought I’d do a course first’ I got laughed at and told ‘ you’ll be fine’.

Watching World War Two in Colour.
Currently in Starlingrad.
I know you don't have too much time, but I can recommend Anthony Beevor's "Stalingrad". It's a big book but well worth the effort. Take it on holiday, it won't keep away the mosquitoes but will deter the beach/pool bores.Currently in Starlingrad.
ION: I had two Zoom meetings today, totaling 3 hours. I'm now on my third absinthe, to aid recovery from zoomonia.
Lady Slopes just shakes her head at me
Meanwhile, in the course of earning a crust a medium sized Warwickshire Spa town was visited this week whilst delivering a large quantity of Leicestershire's finest aggregates to Banbury by rail....

People, I'm not a fan at the best of times, but I've just arrived home to find a white VW Polo parked across my drive, so I stop, look around and see some bloke working on next doors can but he's ignoring me, so I park up the road a bit and walk back, at which point he finally looks at me, "any idea who's this is?" I ask, "oh yeah, it's mine, do you want me to move it?" "It's probably better than me pushing it out of the way!" Was my response, he just sort of stood there looking blank,, "yes, please" I clarified, "oh, right, I'll pull forward and let you park then just pull it back, ok?"
I'm stood there thinking, no it's not fking ok you fking halfwit, but I remembered my promise to Mrs Bobbers to play nicely with retarded people, "yeah that's fine, but my wife will be home around 5pm, so it had best be gone, she's not as pleasant as me!!", this was again met with a blank look, be careful out there, these fkwits walk among us!!!!
