Also did a quick plasma cut of a guard to test fit before I mill a real one.

Just about right but a few modifications required.

If you don't mind me asking, what is a WAFI?

When I was troubled with occasional heartburn against (which Gaviscon and similar proprietary medicines were ineffective), I mentioned it to my GP during a consultation for something else and he prescribed Lansoprazole capsules.

Much better and I seldom need them now.

I suffered with acid and ulcers for (20?) years. Was diagnosed with helicopactor whilst working in Malaysia (during 9/11..2001)...started the treatment and returned to UK. Local GP hadn't even heard of it. Finally got the course going again and no longer need the Tagamet I'd been on for years. My issues now are caused by the deluge of daily heart meds. But taking them with food has lessened the effect. Daily AllBran keeps things cool. :whistle:

Wet and f***ing useless.

A term of endearment given to those stalwart pioneers of shipborne aircraft. They took off OK, but were unable to land back on the ship, so had to ditch and await recovery. So they were wet and, because they now had no plane, were f***ing useless for anything else

Is that where they store their self righteousness?

Hood · May 2, 2023

It may be for hiding their money in as they don't like parting with it. Well most anyway, that guys a fine lad and that is why he is one of the few I do things for.

If @finyuk2005 is correct there would be a massive market in small ones.

For bicycles.

Not much..... but welded back together the trellis anchor spikes for swmbo. Trellis blew down
last year....thought I might as well fix it. Thought they'd corroded through but had just snapped.
Might even put the trellis back up...who knows?
The beauty of MAG welding through rust and soil....Oh! and cheap.
:whistle:

Chickened out of the pacemaker ....so didn't need to considered emfs.
