Hi Scout, thanks so much my friend.👍

Hey, thanks so much. I get some really nice comments from fellow KZfaqrs. 👍👍

Thanks so much. 👍👍👍

Thanks Magdad, yes my hand is healing well but you know what it’s like, you get itchy to do things so I’m sorting out 40 years worth of nuts, bolts, washers and screws into their different sizes and putting them into separate containers. Not much fun but at least it’s productive and will save me time and money in the future. Cheers my friend, Stuart.

Thanks Brian, god bless my friend 🤣🤣🤣.

Thanks Cathy😘

Hi and thank you for your kind wishes. We’re doing ok thanks. You guys take care. Cheers Stuart.

Thanks for the feedback David, I appreciate it. Cheers Stuart 👍👍

Thanks very much. 👍👍👍

Thanks Ben, you’re a genuine person. My wife and I are just happy to still be alive😁. I mentioned to the surgeon that fused my wrist, that my left shoulder was still giving me grief so she ordered an MRI and it’s more surgery. The tendon that connects the top muscle in my shoulder was torn off the bone so she is going to re-attach it so it will be more quiet time while that heals. I saw a podiatrist recently and he says I fractured every bone in my right foot and most of them in my left so now I get to wear custom made shoes for the rest of my life and my wife is in the same boat. But while I write this the dog is sitting next to me and we’re both sitting in the sun on a dead still day with clear blue skies and I can hear the birds flying about getting ready for spring so life really is pretty good😊 Cheers my friend and stay safe.

Hi Barry, I’m glad you think my videos are worth watching. Yes, my wife and I are both slowly recovering but I’ll be happy to never see the inside of a hospital again😂😂😂. Cheers mate, Stuart.

Thanks Sparky, much appreciated 👍👍

Thanks heaps 👍👍👍

Hey Fixation Restoration, thanks for you kind comments. My wife and I are glad we pulled through as well😂. It’s been 3 weeks post op now and my wrist is healing very well. The surgeon is very happy with the progress and so the cast is off and I have a removable brace. She also wants me using my hand, within reason, so that means I can get on with the Swedish vice. Life’s good 👍 👍👍 Cheers Stuart.

Hey Preso, thanks heaps, I can use all the support I can get.😂😂😂

Thanks Keith, I really appreciate your kind comments. Cheers Stu.

Thanks heaps.👍👍👍

Thanks again Nick, Yep we’ll definitely get you over as soon as this bloody COVID settles down. Cheers my friend. Stu.

Thanks Shed Man, I’m getting there😂😂

Thanks Tungsten, I think it will be a matter of adapting and learning to use my left hand more. Cheers my friend, Stuart.

Hi Mindindustries, thanks for your comment. No one has ever said that to me about attention to detail. I regard to your sandblasting comment I’m all ears. The cabinet is a large workshop unit I purchased second hand, like most of my gear, but the original nozzle had quite large exit hole which would have required a very big compressor so I changed it to the elcheapo trigger. As you seem to know what you are talking about do you know what is the advantage of a foot trigger for the air as you still have to hold the gun but I see a lot of the higher end units fitted with one. My unit came with a foot trigger but it leaked so I didn’t use it. Why will a “better” gun speed up the blasting? Thanks for your comments and advice. Cheers Stuart.

@@scroungasworkshop4663 I guess the advantage of a foot trigger is that your fingers wont get tired from having to press the trigger down (that is especially the case with the cheap guns). I honestly cant scientificly tell you why a better gun speeds up the process, I guess it is just a better overall design. Mine for example has a much bigger inlet tube for the media to enter and a different blasting tip. Also the trigger is a lot bigger, making it really easy to press and therefore eliminating the need for a foot trigger. I hope this helped. Greetings from Germany, Max

@@Mindustries Hi Max, I’ll have a try and go back to the original gun that came with mine. I always appreciate people sharing their ideas. I hope you are safe and our thoughts go out to all those in Germany 🇩🇪 Belgium and the Netherlands caught up in the severe flooding. Cheers Stuart.

Thanks Time Flys, yes it was painful and getting worse. I did a lot of that work on the vice before my wrist was broken in our car accident. I kept telling the dr’s it was painful but they were more concerned about my other injuries so no one followed it up for nearly a year. By the time it was investigated the wrist had healed but was malformed and all the joints were out of alignment so the only option was fusing to stop the joints deteriorating further and hopefully relieving the pain. Thanks for your comments and I agree it’s a sweet vice. I find that most older tools made in America are of a high quality. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
