G'day all, just a line to let you all know I am hopeless at this stuff but getting there. Building a hit & miss from castings from Minitech and designed by Ray Paynter. Its been on the shelf for a few years but thanks to tips here has started again.
I'm a retired locksmith (retired due to health) but enjoying what I do in the shed.
 
Welcome Mr. Less, or do we just call you Hope?
 
Welcome to the forum.
Everyone would like to see pics of your 'hit & miss'.
