Thanks Matt and Mick, It's been long road what with one thing and another. I'm still finding tools and stuff that he stashed away in various places. He was the fount of all knowledge engineering, a great loss felt by many.
I had to raise the seat of the Enfield to fit better and it was still a bit cramped on the Spain run.
I'm surprised you haven't returned to the TDM fold Matt. My TDM has been in mothballs in dry storage for over two years, so it will need a wee fettle to get her back up and running.
New shop isn't far from old one, much better access and area to work. You will have to bring that GS for a dose of stainless.

Photo is AligG fettle May ? 2015 as you say happier times. He is still hovering around I think, I feel it every time I zero the lathe after a job. He had a thing about leaving machines set to exact zero, something I've inherited.
