Work stopped on Spur 3. Trying to finish off a kitchen and a few other things

Anyway my Chinese lathe in the process of making the wheels (why didnt I just buy some Colsons) ate some teeth on the Hi/Lo which is plastic
Ordered some metal ones which happened to be on backorder
Spent an evening stripping down the lathe to replace them
The moral of the story is if you are buying a Chinese lathe get one with metal Hi/Lo teeth as the plastic ones will break and its close to a complete strip down to replace. In that process I found some components made out of a soft variant of Gouda and some interesting wiring.
My saving up for a mill is going to take a bit longer as after this experience I have decided to up the budget
At least the rugby was entertaining
