Iron Gear Alchemist and Rolling Mill it is then, thanks John. (are you sending me that drawing by the way?) On reflection, I am going for a three way toggle for this one to keep the wiring simple and ...

Top session - might not make my own chisel just yet as I already bought one but now understand some metal working term.

She probably will........ ?
