What a great early birthday present. It is fantastic to share my projects on HMT with like minded people. I was inspired by JRock to make a rotary broaching tool and the bearings arrived today for this project so hopefully get a bit done over the weekend. . I have started another project today to help complete the Minnie Traction Engine project which I have been working on and off for 35 years and looking forward to sharing again with you all.
Thank you again

Hi All
I have soldered the final chain links to the steering chains eye bolts ready for painting. The eye bolts are 7BA.
