Great post Matty. ( Can I dump my emotional baggage re: Veritas lanterns on this thread?). But on a serious note... this seems to be a brilliant...
I know this post wasn't for me, but it's nice to see you Darryl. Thanks for everything... the 1A is coming along.... as is Christmas.
[ATTACH] Roxie looks like a rotty cross? I had a rotty cross ridgeback and she was a brilliant bitch. The new one in member's photo, taken at my...

Champion effort Matty.
Thanks Michael. And Matty... you must have hailed from either the Riverlands or Lithgow, I'd imagine.
The packing nut appeared to be free from ANY sort of gasket material; mind you, I was so eager to soak and clean things that I may have scrubbed...
Bloody sad to hear about your experience with the erroneous pure nickel. What about the citric acid idea, though. Not for plating, but for its...
There's probably an excellent post already, so feel free to ignore this one, but I couldn't find a thread on homemade leather pump washers. My...
I'm praying, Matty. BTW, have you purchased graphite packing and used it on gland nuts and packing nuts? It seems to be sold by the metre and it...
