Remember those items that you save to be used later? Most people have them. Today I needed some white nylon rollers for a trueing apparatus head I a developing, I found a lump of nylon in the box under my lathe and ui used it up. I got my lathe new, 35 years ago and the date on the nylon was 42 years old. Just goes to show there is a job for all bits of off cuts, no matter how big or small the job is. The measuring head I am making I have spent 30 years developing and although I have a job in the shop to test on , I have another job being delivered this very afternoon. If it works as I expect it to, the only way to see one is when you buy a copy. For your use.

Just been for a covid jab in a pharmacy. 15 min wait then got the pharmacist with doubts who you are and has thirty second memory loss, also he was not computer conversant…. And all in all wasting peoples time. Question why are stronger springs on entry doors so old frail people have a bad time opening the door.

The best selling book I have written about a west highland terrier, as with his mistress live in a mysterious landscape. She collides with a rider on a Ducati and then the storey really starts. On Amazon in paperback and kindle and talking books a trilogy of books, I am writing the final one now.. please leave a comment if you wish.

Here am i sat in my workshop, just waiting for two customers to bring in wheels and one to pick one up, still no sign of them.

The courtesy Saturday service might just stop, oh and when i say remove the tyres it also means take the wheels out of the bike...

I am operating as a wheel builder again but in a reduced capacity, I can still repair wheels but not in the fast turnaround I could offer before. Call me and discuss your problem.

We will be closed for another week, the cardiologist won’t let me out of hospital, nor let me build any wheels on the end of my hospital bed.
