Great little Xmas video mate 👏👏👏👏 That little ‘starters kit’ is indeed for Apprentices. My Dad got me one from Hare & Forbes at Xmas 1965 ( started as a 15 y.o. at Cockatoo Dockyards in Sydney, in January 1966. First two pay packets contained £.s.d. ( pounds, shillings, and pence). Your mate in America will love that gift 👍 As for Bernie… I’ll put my name down as a new subscriber to a Re-born AME magazine. When I heard of the demise of the AME, I rang the publisher and said I’d pay DOUBLE to keep the subscription… and I’ll be hundreds and hundreds ( thousands?) of Oceania model Engineers would do the same. Halelulja 👍👍👍👍 Merry Xmas to you, Di, and your lovely family. Regards, Your Most Unworthy Monkeys Balls Student, Grasshopper PS Az…. You look most relaxed there mate… must be the job change eh? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ Hairy Forbes? Nahhhh…. They’ve always been H & F. ‘F’ got out in the 50’s I think… So it’s all owned by the HUGE Hare family. In fact, one of their service techs told me that the family could stop selling machines tomorrow, and still be earning millions from all their ( industrial) property portfolio.
I am glad you enjoyed the gifts. You make it a challenge since you have everything. 🤣 I watch Bernie's channel also. He is a world of knowledge when it comes to tool and cutter grinding.
G’day Rusti. Yes I agree, sending me gifts like is like sending strawberries to pigs (joke hahaha). Jokes aside, wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas 🎄 Michel. Cheers 🍻
