    You're right there Pete, very heavy handed. The wire wheel is the man's number one restoring tool, arrgh!

    I noticed that too, but at least it was a rough iron.

    Thanks again Jeff. I’m certainly not wasting time sleeping or any other such wasteful pastime......

    Very interesting. I liked the way he made the replacement pin and changed the way it’s captured with the thread now at the entry.
    Cheers

    Good idea if your stuck out in the sticks and needed a battery powered tool to finish a job. I was a farmer in my varied pass and this would have come in handy when fencing, drilling the holes to mount a gate etc. it would save dragging along a portable generator (read heavy and cantankerous).
    Cheers
