Found dug with aa jcb loadall yesterday. Next step hardening or bottoming to cover that. Might borrow a jcb proper and put in a drainage pipe too though.

Yeah have granite slabs. The height gauge was my final selection rather than scribe block and most of the rest has been sourced too. Bring on the lathe :-)

Folks this has probably been asked a hundred times before but where do I best source engineering marking stuff? Just got two magnetic clock gauges from eBay but looking for micrometer, vernier and a scribing block. The mics and verniers should bble to source on eBay but an accurate marking block?

Hi folks. New to this forum but I have used other forums to great effect for everything from photography to fitting an in car entertainment system. My next project is kitting out a forty foot refrigeration container into a three room workshop. Small room further in will be a clean seating...
