Building my first Austin Seven car

[Austin in the Shed]

I too was hit by the health and safety brigade for leaving the chuck key in the lathe on a photo of how to screwcut a thread by hand,using a handle attached to the rear end of the spindle .
I was so mad about it I kept off the forum for a couple of months before I calmed down,and yes I have 50 years experience of using a lathe.
Daisy,and dads posting for the boring out the connecting rods I thought was excellent and a great way to encourage a younger generation into Austins and the basics of engineering,I wish I could do the same.
Look forward to another article on your restoration.
