Today I lost a dear friend, he helped me build my 400.

he helped the scouts out in their time of need

he even voluteered without complaint, to partner me in building my tracker,

now he's gone and its....just....too......much

so it's audieu to my 4 1/2" angle grinder. he will grind no more for me

sad drewps!

Cheer up Drewps, you've still got your hammer !

Hmm makes me wonder just what they needed, is there such a thing as a tealeaf badge then, I remember a while back you were after a motorcycle for them too.

My old black and decker i have had for 16 years is getting a bit sick now, it only gets used for wire brushing now, but it has outlasted a Draper one bought too replace it by the firm i work for, the spindle broke on that, I bought a non such 800w replacement from Maplins recently for about £15 in a sale and i have a big bugger bought for £18 a few years ago in a french hypermarket, that came with a spare set of brushes
