  1. I went back in history and found it, it's in English for me.
  2. Could you not just go up one size with the screws, or if screwed into wood put some toothpicks ends into the holes and reinsert the screws, that's what I've done in the past for stripped threads in door hinges etc.
  3. So I follow this nostalgic music site and they come up with some gems going back into the 60's. I had Dire Straits Live in Basel 1992 video concert playing in the back ground on the pc while I wandered around when this classic came through and I paused the concert to watch the whole 9 min of the most amazing harmonies ever. I hadn't seen it for a couple of years at least and it's always amazing. Enjoy..
  4. Looking good. In regards to files there is a huge variety of jewelers/needle files sets out there that I think would fit the bill for what you do. Having used them for 35 years in the aircraft instrument repair business I can heartily attest to their usefulness. They come in 6 or 12 piece sets with a medium,. fine or xfine finishes and single or double cut faces. The best quality ones considering the fine work you do I would suggest you go with Swiss-pattern files, you'll pay lots more for them but you will never regret purchasing top quality. At the least buy a mid range set from a quality name. I don't know if you ever have to make slots in your craft but a slot file is something you may find handy at times. Again, you can go for the best with Swiss made like this for example https://eternaltools.com/products/screw-head-slotting-file I still have mine that I bought back in the 70s Here's the best files.. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/jewelers-files/needle-file-sets-9/ And then there's Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=needle+files&adgrpid=1361198090232684&hvadid=85075300630605&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=125283&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-85076111170241%3Aloc-32&hydadcr=24906_13599843&mcid=e310450fd02337b79e75f87155717054&msclkid=6bc4632abfc61e9ac3fb0a011b7eef5b&tag=msncahydra-20&ref=pd_sl_4hs3yt4lc_e Cheers
  5. I'm not familiar with Snowy White but I do Know Gary Moore as a top notch blues guitarist, seen him play a fair amount in a bunch of blues specials with BB King and the like.
  6. Any boogie woogie fans here? Out of the blue just came across this gal Ladyva and hot damn she's good. Here she is with the Barcelona Big Blues Band https://www.facebook.com/reel/865468909236767
  7. Cool, found it on torrents and downloading now.
  8. That's a good deal and generally CTC Maximum products are pretty good quality. Not many reviews to go by but with 2 out of 3 poor reviews I'd be concerned and definitely would give that spindle feature a good workout going by that first review.
  9. I may have mentioned this before but I'm a huge fan of Steely Dan. At least twice a year I go through their entire collection in order of release and I never tire of it. This tune is right up there, the only song I know of where a melodica played by Donald Fagan has a big part.
  10. I just listened to this for anyone who was a Boz Scaggs fan. I had the Silk Degrees album with two of my faves, Lowdown and Lido Shuffle. He's now drifted into the blues genre, one song in particular comes up on my my playlist called Loan me a Dime, here it is with Duane Allman
  11. Lol, I often listen to an oldies radio station and that song just came on. Go figure
  12. The 60's had some damn fine music. To think that this classic from 1964 was recorded in one take and produced in 15 minutes.
  13. The real tests will come when temps reach -20° and lower.
  14. So true, great post. In my case much of this would have been in the 60's. The early 70's were high school days, no smart phones, no cameras, life was so different.
