I'm sorry for Satanic who just can't hack it.
My blind spot nowadays is sharpening twist drills (backing off). I've lost the touch since my apprentice days, which although 60 years ago, I'm sure the confidence of youth played a part as I can still feel & see & OK.

I've tried John I really have - but try as I may I have to face the facts - I am a bias sawer(Sad)

I have to confess to never, ever being able to sharpen a twist drill .... no matter how hard I tried .... just couldn't get it right

So it's true, Engineers don't know what "anonymous" means!

I think this thread should end right here - you're being way to hard on yourselves. What do you expect? You're only engineers...

(Incoming! Run boy!!)

Your meant to be - your an engineer. This is an EA meeting - joiners anonymous is next door

I've never been able to tell the difference SM.

Well, after a lot of thought, I suppose my worst bit, is that I cannot bear to watch a doxford running.

I found the running ones a joy to watch, it was the broken ones which ruined my day.

Better keep your hands off the oxy burner as well then...(Smoke)

A lot of of the every day things such as putting a nut on a screw is done these days purely by instinct.Cannot see a thing.Sharpening a twist drill is just a memory.Remember when the tradesman you worked with said"do this lad the old eyes are not so good" & you thought him a silly old bugger?

Nobody has mentioned how they cope with nuts, the essence of a mechanical engineer.

My brother ( a member of SN who never posts ) so I will log him into EA ; when he was a junior on Moss tankers MV Luxor was limited by the 2nd Eng to only using wrenches on bolts of 7/8 inch or more . He had a tendancy to shear all he touched .

Probably why he ended up Scottish Senior hammer champion at one time and came 7th in the Senior Olympics held in Newcastle some years ago.
