Thanks everyone for your comments, I might have to slow down a bit. The wife's gettin a bit toe'y about the amount of time I spend in the shed, I tried to get on her good side by explaining that " wives come and go but a mortar carrier is forever". Then she said Oh, now I understand. Off you go into the shed and spend all the time you need to finish off your carrier. And while I'm waiting I'll get your lunch ready

Your obviously a Magician, and it would be handy if you lived next door, But be careful mate, or you may have to cut your new toy in half (length ways, or cross ways, I don't know).... Be Nice! ...(and you haven't the time for a boat anyhow)

You could always move next to me lynn, its up 4 sale.
Don't worry ron. my wife was sitting next to me when I wrote that. She does and has to have a good sence of humour to be married to me. My next project after this is a full duck restoration and that will not be a poultry job.
I have'nt done one of those before so it will be a real challenge. probably in a month or two. I will post pics as I go.
Colin.

got the other track on today, and by the way I had to extend each track as the 2 pounder/ mortar carriers have 182/183 links. Also made my rear pioneer
plate and brackets.
