Default Thanks Phil !!

Great tech drawings Phil, thankyou. Also thanks for the photos prior. I have yet to catch our woodwork museum open, but will print a copy of these to take with me when I go next. I'm confident someone there will get involved and make a couple of these for me. Those fellows are mostly craftsmen from another age, when things were made to last!

Thanks to you too Keith, I have copied that photo of the MG butt holder & 'glovebox'. I wouldn't mind making one of those gloveboxes, actually .

Yesterday was quite unproductive. I got 90% of the side curtain frame jig completed, but stopped when I was about to make a silly mistake with welding something in wrong place. I figured it was time to put it away to continue fresh another day.

I did clean-up some minor electrical bits, but nothing worth photographing.

The Jungle Carbine DOES fit in the clip, but it is sloppy fit. At least it is sloppy without the wooden block for it to sit in. I have not measured against the dimensions Phil posted, to see if it would sit down inside, but will do so when I get the chance.
