Today I ventured south to pick up my new surface plate from R.C
After coffee and cake we loaded the plate into the trailer. I wasn't taking any chances so it was well restrained.

I thought a 1000 x 600 mm surface plate was pretty big until I saw Richards replacement. What a colossal slab it is. If you've seen "2001 A Space Odyssey" imagine the monolith lying on a frame and you've got the picture.
As always Richard was generous with his time and knowledge and gave me a scraping refresher course.
The plate is now safely in my shed and awaiting being put to use.

Space is a bit tight at this time but a plate of this size will probably never turn up locally again so I took the opportunity when it was presented.4
Thanks again to Richard for his kind help.
