woa2 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 What have you got for Christmas? Anything interesting? My dearest Wife gave me a Black & Decker electric adjustable spanner. You press a switch and it closes or opens the jaws. Anybody else got anything interesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I will admit I have seen the ads for a while but wanted to see how sturdy they were in real life use ie some else getting one and giving it a good work out before I would be getting one .

Topdog Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I was given a Black + Decker thingy as well from step dad. The tolerance on the jaws is dreadful.....I do not have high hopes but they say the steel is good quality. Mind you adjustable spanners are, as James May would say, 'The tool of the pikey'. Gimme a good quality combination spanner anytime. Still, it will go in the Ferret toolbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 One year my late aunt Jean gave my wife a roll of J-cloths so she would "have something to open". One year the woman who is my mother gave me a box set of Bing Crosby cds. Not because I like Bing, but because.....I had a cd player. They turned out to be fakes with a soundalike doing the b-b-booms. The same woman gave my wife a microwave oven cook book. Guess what we didn't own at the time? She followed it up with a cheap shopping channel sewing machine which appeared to be made from old Frog model parts. Guess who has never done sewing (save the odd button or name tag?). I could go on. But this Christmas I got the new Bruce Springsteen album from the James - a film from Emily; The Somme Then and Now and The Dams Raid Through the Lense from my bro and sisses in law and the stunning "Remembered" a photo history of the CWGC from my wife plus some clobber. No socks. Today I got a twisted knee - pushing my son out of the way of a speeding Golf GTprat in Westcliff On Sea. It was less heroic than shambolic. I was then accosted by a tramp who wanted a fight. Then I had to drive here to London to do the nightshift. I'm walking backwards for Christmas. Rosemary and RCubed got drunk. Picture the moment.

Jessie The Jeep Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I got a few WW2 aviation manuals, actually bought a couple of months ago along with two aircraft First Aid Kits. 'Guide to the Army Air Forces', 'Aircraft Electrical Systems Manual', 'Aircraft Radio Shop Practice', 'Radiotelephone Proceedure', 'USAAF Report for the Secretary of War' Also bought dad some Map and Aerial Photograph manuals and some navigation plotting instruments. http://www.sacarr.co.uk/jeep/access/nav/plotter1.jpg[/img] http://www.sacarr.co.uk/jeep/access/nav/plotter2.jpg[/img] http://www.sacarr.co.uk/jeep/access/nav/elem_map.jpg[/img] http://www.sacarr.co.uk/jeep/access/nav/adv_map.jpg[/img] http://www.sacarr.co.uk/jeep/access/nav/math.jpg[/img] I quite fancy building a navigators table, seat and the side of the fuselage to display it all in, but have to work out if I can make it portable.

abn deuce Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 at least the amount of space the navigator had for his use was very small to start with ! I m sure with a few hinges in the right places you could have something to fit in a equally small package, and would be unique . Do you plan on using plywood mostly or metal ? Sounds like you will have good hunt to locate the bits if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I quite fancy building a navigators table, seat and the side of the fuselage to display it all in, but have to work out if I can make it portable. Sorry to state the obvious, but surely if you build the rest of the fuselage, wings, engines et al, (having seen pics of your model, I'm sure you are capable!) you could fly the navigator's table to and from shows.......... :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
