A nice day for a visit
Today I ventured south to pick up my new surface plate from R.C
After coffee and cake we loaded the plate into the trailer. I wasn't taking any chances so it was well restrained.

I thought a 1000 x 600 mm surface plate was pretty big until I saw Richards replacement. What a colossal slab it is. If you've seen "2001 A Space Odyssey" imagine the monolith lying on a frame and you've got the picture.
As always Richard was generous with his time and knowledge and gave me a scraping refresher course.
The plate is now safely in my shed and awaiting being put to use.

Space is a bit tight at this time but a plate of this size will probably never turn up locally again so I took the opportunity when it was presented.4
Thanks again to Richard for his kind help.

Good taste.
Hi John.
I see from your second pic you also have the good taste to own a Datsun 1600.
Jim.

Good to see you got it successfully re-assembled, I imagine all the safe work statements were correctly filled out and the lifting equipment was properly tagged and tested... Much like we did here earlier when putting it in the car...
Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.
