[modeleng] Re: On the bench, under the bench, behind the bench, fallen off the bench....

Wottalottawork!

In my case it will be beavering away on the little 2" centre-height

iron.    I think that I must have something of a record for producing swarf
and great clouds of black carbon dust!

Cheers!   Hubert
