Thank you Mike, all the works was done by me at home, many thanks to my friend Felix for his help to glue veneer.

Plinth builds from 7 layers of 18mm birch ply, cut on CNC machine, covered with walnut veneer and painted with oil-based varnish. Specially made two layers legs-insulators and tonearm armboard.

At first as I was scrolling down the page I was thinking of "The Flying Scot". aka Jackie Stewart.
Jackie Stewart is a true gentleman of sport. I think he would be happy to be thought of in the same sentence as this old locomotive. The engine predates the racing driver's birth by I think about 15 years however.

In 4 years time the Flying Scotsman will be 100 years old. The fact that two days ago it was quite happy hauling 15 carraiges and over 200 persons effortlessly all day is testament to the creativity of its designers and the skill of those who still look after her.

Here is a video I found on youtube of our train crossing the Ribblehead Viaduct on Saturday. Dont miss the bit at the end when it thunders through Penrith station on the way home at an estimated 75 mph !

Another from Shijuku with the K20/4 (I may have replicated the Nomura building for added symmetry ):

Great turntable restoration! The wood is beautiful. Is that a 12" or longer tonearm?
Thanks for sharing,

just acquired a DA*60-250 for my K1; my first impression is that it is too quiet focusing! then the weight of lens. Quite happy with photo quality but need time to get used with that ;-)

K1 DA*60-250; f5.0 1/125 ISO3200 handheld

Now, you would consider images like this not worth the K-1 to use for. Out of focus, underexposed, blurred... Still my favourite of my miss telling me the dinner was ready while I was playing with my camera in the living room. That is what men do while waiting to be fed... LOL
For those who want to check it out the picture hanging on the wall is from photographer Francis Meadow Sutcliffe. I like his works, have a few prints hanging on our walls.

My wife steadfastly refuses to allow me to photograph her, so I have to rely on stealth tactics.

I have three books of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe’s photos, the first of which I bought in a shop in Whitby, dedicated to his work.

I've seen the Flying Scot go a wee bit faster than that at Watkins Glen. I still have one of those black corduroy hats he made famous. Got it at Watkins Glen in 1973 or so. I usually wore an old Wanamaker's bowler derby around. I got a lot of free adult beverages at the races because of that hat.

I was lucky to get to know his works. We went to a carboot sale a few years ago and came across two of his framed photos for Ł2. Added a few more since, mainly bought from ebay.
