UJ, accept my most sincere commiseration, that is dire. But to get back to that fascinating Marianne Faithful number: Was the production of a pop song really that bad back in the 60s? I really don't remember anything that awful. Marianne was mimeing to the record badly and that furniture? Glad it didn't catch on, looks bloody uncomfortable.
If it's a Swedish production it's difficult to believe that just a few years later the country produced ABBA.

Thanks Rick. Yes, those piles of spares are a boon and a problem. My photos cunningly disguise the fact that there is a pile of electronics junk occupying most of the floor area in front of the car.
The clock is essential equipment.

UJ - a clock is essential in the garage - so I know when my "Erindoors" as gone up to bed so I can use the kitchen sink as a de-greasing tank!

| Yes, kitchens are useful. Dishwashers can be used for degreasing, and ovens for powder coating.... |

I will include a pic of mine when its a bit tidier and have got the work bench in, need to transfer it from another of my garages!!
At the moment all 3 garages are a mess, one day I will tidy up (maybe)!! |

I once needed some Fullers Earth urgently, the only answer was to buy some 'Kitty Litter' and process it through the wifes blender. I have never been allowed to forget this.  |

Hi Dave,
It's an Exe http://www.lathes.co.uk/exe/index.html
Although it has a lead screw I don't have any gear drive for it so it's just for fairly basic manual turning. The most complicated thing I've done on it was making small end bushes which required some thought re precision but it was successful. Yes, your Drummond is probably rather similar in
features, I would guess.
Peter

Exactly so! I bought an oil filter canister from a jumble some years ago and
needless to say it was clarty. In the bottom of the canister is a spring loaded plate to retain the filter element. Well the plate is retained by a circlip which
I have managed to remove and replace in the past but, oh boy! is that difficult, being 6 inches down inside a 2 inch diameter tube, so cleaning the oily grit from under the plate was very nicely achieved by a cycle in the dishwasher all without removing said circlip. 
And, yes timing for that event was important.

I used to have a bakelite wall clock just like that!
