Hello Rob, The last time I was up in that area was back in the 60s, but I used to use it a lot when I was on the wagons, not the best of routes for a truck mind(don't know about now) as it was all twists and turns and up and down, which also meant a lot of up and down the box, but in a car it...

Hello Miles, Your layout (placement /arrangment) of machines will be determined greatly by what it is that you intend doing. But as a pointer why not get one or two of these books from the library, you will I'm sure get some kind of an idea from them. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Setting-Up-Shop...

Hello Martin, Yes very true, but they will be way way out of my price range by the time they have finished. I have some Ashley Isles. a few Crown, Henry Taylor and the first six I bought were some cheap (pricewise) French ones just to see if I could do it, a number of years ago now not sure but...

Hi Wizer, Thanks a lot Tom, Pfeil are what I was looking at just recently, although I have not got any of those as yet, I quite fancied some of them. Thanks a lot my mate. Once again, thanks for the badge. Regards. Trev.

Hi all, I have found these on ebay and I have tried trawling the net to no avail, trying to identify who made them. I can see that they are swiss made and was wondering if they were maybe the identifying marks origionally used by PFEIL, as they are the only Swiss makers that I know of. I have...
