Dad lost his thumb to one of thise tractor driven saws..... could still roll his own fags though..
If anyone smokes rollups, try rolling without a machine and without using one thumb

As we all know you can't have enough tools, especially when they are from the Lord of the screw thread!

These arrive today from a chap I met through another Forum (Yes I know, I didn't realise there were other forums either!).



Well packaged too!

Went to a machinery emporium today to pick up some milling cutters, and came home with a 10 inch rotary table - you know how it is. £40, what was I supposed to do!

The handle is a bit home made and the rotation is fairly stiff - the bloke said I would need to strip it down and give it some tlc, not sure where to start with the disassembly though. For now I've put some oil into the oilers and given it a few turns, and it seems to rotate fine but like I said, a bit stiff. No name on it or anything which is a bit odd.

Wow. Top bombing. Well, now it's got your name on it...

Just keep unscrewing things until it falls apart.

Take copious notes!

My 6" rotary has no makers name either and the sizes are all imperial. Turn it over it will probably dismantle from underneath.

I'm always glad if it's a bit stiff nowadays... Fnarr.

Soak it in diesel, then dismantle it.

Blimey.

I got a (hopefully) better film / slide scanner from the local freecycle site. My old one is a Maplin one, and I've been quite disappointed with the quality of some of the scans, and a bit worried about whether I'd wrongly remembered the quality of photos that I've taken back in the day. Having found some prints that I'd made from negatives before I could scan then, it seems that it's not the fault of the negative, so hopefully this new Konica Minolta scanner might do a better job. Only works on XP, apparently, though I might have found a web site that tells me how to make it work in W10.

Yep, I've been revving up to start working through the fridgeful of film I stashed away and been looking on various image sites to see how decade-old film shows up. Some of them, scanned by decent machines, come up really well and are quite encouraging. Others, not so. I'm fairly sure the others are done on crappy twenty-quid scanners.
I've got three Epson flat-beds that I know work reasonably well without taking things to extremes. They won't work at all in Win10, but Vuescan makes them work fine.
