I have noticed that so called “cheap and cheerfull tools” tend to round off and lose it under load – go round boot fairs and autojumbles to find good old kit.

Well thanks Bumblebee!

On the subject of old tools I am soon to be black lead polishing a small Blacksmiths Forge and set of Footbellows, might have to replace the leather on those though.

Nice to see some restoration going on guys! I have a Denby Pillar Drill a real old one taller than me and weighs a ton!

In recent times with scrap metal prices so high too much of these faithfull old tools have been sent down the scrappy!

Keep the rescue work up!

Human League? Nice one! I like their early stuff, and Heaven 17!

Yes! we cant fly it so we might as well wear it!

Good luck with your research!

Yes it does look good, I bet it was cold and a bit sharp to wear!

Now then, back to the TSR 2 Dress – I mentioned it to someone and they said they thought that they remembered it in the newspapers from the time, but it was made from the PCB’s from the Avionics of the TSR 2 ?

Paco Rabanne Metal Disc clothing 1969 – I think it looks fab!

During this period of time, or perhaps a little later, a designer called Paco Rabanne made dresses from oblong bits of metal? Just a thought?
