Machine maintenance and upgrades!

This evening I've settled up the old Sagar bandsaw blade guides.

It's a beast of a machine that gets some serious use.

Using EN26 to turn the new part, should stand up to the wear well I hope.

From a sad moment to a wonderful discovery.

Working late in the wheelwrights shop making chariot wheels tonight, when I broke my favourite mallet.

I've been using this one for around 20 years, it came with a load of tools from my great uncle James Crowhurst. It looks likely that he'd borrowed it from one of my uncles or grandad though...

I'll try my best to keep on top of the socials, it's been great to have some feedback and real life interaction with followers today.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful support and encouragement.
I think around 8000 followers on Instagram and 25,000 on facebook! That's so cool.
Please keep commenting with suggestions, I'm not great at the socials side of things.

And as always... please like, share, interact!
