Hey Sir John, (is that the correct way to address royalty), If You would start a Bodgers Lodge over here, it would be appreciated, and enjoyed.

It's a good site if your needing a laugh, the current thread on tig welding a copper boiler being a perfect example.   :wack:

I second that request for your Bodgers Lodge to be relocated here.

Mole skin trouser brigade, sky blue pink.  There's some good stuff here.  I'll have to drop in more often.   Dave

Hey wait a minute, I wear mole skin trousers, have a Myford...  Phew....  I don't build steam engines, just bodge.   Yep have to agree, I also found I could never be part of a Model Engineering Society, as the BOLLOX drove me crazy.  It's nice ere.  :headbang:

... hee hee ... yes it can be a bit cliquey !

I must now put my cards on the table - at one time I was Chairman of SM&EE in London. Not all members conform to your stereotypes (though quite a few do). Oh and by the way, the last 'model' that I made was a wooden catamaran when I was at school - it even featured in the local paper with a picture of me in shorts :ddb:

Having followed the link and had a read of the replies on the tig welding a copper boiler thread,I'm surprised the OP didn't just make a copper mallet instead and beat himself over the head with it. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:  :lol:....OZ.
