Nice punches, Q-max used to sell a bearing to go under the head of the cap head bolt, made a massive difference on the bigger cutters
I'm guessing chickens?
have you ever raised quail ?
a friend of mine has hatched and raised chickens/ducks/geese/peacocks no problem - tried quail, about 15 hatched but they all died in a few days, he found them upside down with their legs sticking in the air... didn't all die at once, it was over about 3 days

Bantums. Turned up at girlfriends sisters house to be asked where shall I put the incubator and eggs? Eh what?
Apparently granny and grandaughter had agreed we should have some chickens without consulting us. So to add to 350+ tonnes of driveway stone being laid down had to deal with dogs and chicks being born at the same time.

Struggling a bit rowing our tender, so bought a super light 17 Kg outboard for it today.

A wetstone\whetstone grinder.
Still cant set up a plane to save my life but, at least the blade is sharp, finally.
A sharp tool is one of life's simple pleasures.

Interesting. I've just sharpened my chisels with a belt sander/finger sander and got a nice sharp edge. Is it easy to get it ground straight with your machine?
Sorry to hear that, hope you're better soon.
Had it recently. Legs aching really bad, freezing cold and shivering violently, sometimes temperature up and down, coughing. I was positive for almost 2 weeks.

- on average about 200 miles from the ISS.
Blimey, I know bearing boys stock lots of stuff but thats beyond the norm.
seriously though hope you recover quickly.
Just got it today, so it is just first impressions. It sharpens tools better than I can but that's not saying much really. I've done a load of chisels and a plane blade so far.
It does a good job of sharpening. Keeping the tool square and getting a straight grind is more of an issue to be honest. I spent time today either using an engineer's square or lining up the tool against the side of the wheel to get a straight grind but it usually took a bit of adjustment and a few attempts to get it like the photo. More experimentation required.
