Nice watercolour She'd be a little gem I reckon.
Dead right Tony, it all separates like that, thanks Tony and Henry, (carbon hid the joint a bit but I didn't look hard enough).
Henry, here's my Veritas needle. Note The top pricker section (with female thread) screws onto the lower rod section. I may be in luck, I think...
Thanks Henry, I'll saddle up my Macro lens! Tied up for today though.
No worries P, thanks for your help. On another subject, my Solar 350CP has run briefly, but is super-rich. The needle appears to be working fine....
That post was a long time ago. Sands don't have any Veritas needles now, I might ask them about Petromax or Optimus availability. BTW the TOP of...

You are, indeed, a light in our firmament Mr Press! :clap:
Yes, just got the notification. Very sad that Austramax is closing. It's an excellent lamp, and I hope spares will be around for a long time....
Excellent Myn! I wonder if you could get a gloss by wet 'n dry (down through the grades to 2000 should give a nice semi-gloss). After initial bake?
You clever boy!
Well... TBH, I have to admit, I love my MAPP Gas blowtorch, from lighting the woodheating stove to brazing. Some tech is good!
Cheers Tony. And would I typically pre-heat with Metho? (It has a little dish shaped depression beneath the burner)
