MORE FRITZ

[aboard_epsilon]

Not been all that busy on it, as my dad died about 5 weeks ago after two months in intensive care.

Any hows, my dad was always saying ... "Life Goes On"

So that's just what I'm doing.


I've still got some more polishing to do yet ..........this is gun finish.



After a bit of polish looks like this...




all the best....mark

Hell - that's better polished than my car.
The big downside is that everything else will look shabby next to it!
...and you'll be so upset when you drop that first spanner....

Sincerest condolences on your recent loss. Yes, Life does go on, but something missing somehow....

It's been 465 days since I lost my Dad, but who's counting.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine this past July. I'm still using some of his tools daily, so he's always on my mind. Nice work on the Fritz! Keep on posting the progress.

Doing this work now will be a keepsake for the memory of your Dad.
Really nice work. Keep it up and they will want it for the Smithsonian.
Regards,
Bobby.

Mark, My Dad was afraid to go. When I was able to convince him it wasn't necessarily the end but rather just another part of lifes journey he expired shortly after that. The "end" part deals mostly with us and that hurts but maybe for our own selfish reasons. I hope you and your family are believers and find solace in your beliefs.

I see my old man in every old boat sitting in someones backyard. Dad was a dreamer and had half a dozen boats in the back yard when he died. I hope you see your Dad often.

That machine looks fantastic, great work. Makes my typical brush job look like, well, a typical brush job. Please continue to post pictures.

Dad's never go away.
Lost mine to cancer in '78 - Waay too young; still with me whenever I play in the shop.
As said above, mom needs your regular presence. Keep at life and be well.
