About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

A handy tool

I have found another handy tool. My old way of cutting small pieces of brass rod or tube, was to lay it on your cutting mat and using a Stanley knife rolling it back and forth until you cut through. Ok for a couple of bits but you may need 10 pieces all the same length. I found this handy tool.
I unscrewed the handle and clamped it in a vice. Oh its briliant, all these years, how did i manage.
And saw away to your hearts content.
Where did i find it? It was on ebay. Now i did find similar ones cheaper but didn't think they looked as good. They do vary in price.

I will point out that i dont know this guy or have any relation to him. Just something i found and thought, what a dam good idea.
