think I spotted this some time ago

http://www.718-rsk.co.uk/

I assume if the website is up and running they are still in business - I wonder if there is an opportunity for someone like Westfield to buy

Oh and have purchased a Myford ML7 today of ebay - hope it's a good one as I have not seen it  :oops:

messed about with the new toy today - the guys I got the machine off kindly chucked in some bits of various metal and nylon to practice on so I thought I would start on a new gear nob

managed to find a bit of round bar that was an interference fit in the new nob so that saved tapping it out

I have put a recess in the top because I intend to find a nice Porsche badge to sink in to it - failing that an of the era German coin maybe?

took about a couple of hours but that was more down to me learning on the job

That looks very good - and I like the idea of a suitable coin rather than a badge!

I'm a bit worried about the condition of your face flannel though. What are all those brown marks?
