Clamp update....

From earlier....

So I'm rather happy with both of my recent purchases - the Michell clamp (soon to be replaced with another vintage one, as Dingdong's bought this one) AND the little sweep brush. Happy days!

Ok, this little chap has now duly been purloined from eBay, and is currently winging its way to Marco Towers:

However, I had to pay bloody £85.00 for it!

Still, it's quality, and I feel rather nicer than the modern ones available - so that's Mark and me both happy chappies!

Marco.
