Sorry to hear you are achy. No fun at all.Tis a shade cooler now so I have mowed the rear lawns. It has set off me arthritis a tad
I have been struggling with what feels like a locked-up shoulder/upper back for weeks now (all my own fault for over-doing manual labour at my lads). Being older is No-Fun!
Talking of "fun".... I have at last managed to get my little Chinese mini-lathe to execute a parting-off operation
Some packing shims were used to raise a HSS cutter "upside down" in a holder on the QCTP, the lathe was run in reverse and th carriage was bolted down with a carriage lock.
Cuts were to a 20mm Mild-steel round bar.
That is progress indeed! As I run a rear tool post, mine is upside down and it does seem to make a differenceSorry to hear you are achy. No fun at all.

I saw that a few minutes ago. Let's be honest it might as well chuck a few storms at me, it's tried just about everything else on the only two occasions I've had it out so it looks like 'expect the unexpected'.

Love the Heath-Robinson Fan arrangement!!!
That fan has been a life saver no way we could have lasted as long on the roof without it.
