And in this case, a little bit of magic as well. :)
Started as part of my trade training in the mob at 17. When I was over in Northern Ireland, I was seconded to the metal workshop as to help out...
When I was stationed in Germany in the late 60s, I was seconded as a vehicle mech to our workshop's recovery section. We got called out to a...
Gets a :thumbup: from me.
A set of new PC speakers. Volume control and sound on the old set were finicky to say the least. All set up and giving me good enough sound [ATTACH]
And to top that off, I've just had an email telling me their prices are going up. :( :mad:
Very similar to me, things have changed a lot since I was in the trade. Most of the firms I worked at gave you a very short interview questioning...

Down at my local Men's Shed I use an old 'NU-Arc' buzz box which is around 40 years old. Current is adjusted by turning a triangular wheel. The...
I found that to be generally the case but I did experience an exception. Firm I worked for in the early 80s had 5 or 6 draughtsmen working in the...
It's looking good, looking forward to seeing the finished item. What sizes are the channel and the flat?
:) I don't think there were many days when I wasn't using a torch. I've done similar to you. I also got quite good at turning on both valves of...
IIRC, any time the torch started popping after lighting up was down to dirt on the surface of the tip or in one of the nozzle holes. if you...
I can feel your frustration - engineers and draughtsmen can often be a pain. :vsad: Did you drill the 10mm holes in the return or was that done...
