Daily Hello Thread

Good morning fellow lead flatteners.
Am back in workshop as I can't sodding sleep.
I do have a bit of light weight tinkering (metal massaging) to do so I would be gainfully employed.
But....... I need a little help from you lot out there,
Does anyone on here know how to beat into submission (re-shape) 5mm steel plate with a 4lb hammer without making too much noise?
Got to keep things a bit hush as I have neighbours.
And please don't say wrap the hammer in a large towel, tried that, total failure.

A different subject:
Many peeps have had a problem with rubberised stocks (and other equipment) going sticky.
I've just scrubbed a horribly tacky PC remote with the stuff below and it is now like new, smeg free :)

Morning all. Rains back. Have a good one, and if your cleaning rubber gunge off.
Acetone works just as well and is cheaper 1lt for much the same money, works on your nail varnish too :whistle:
Great on binoculars with the self same rubbery gunge and remote controls. Just don't splash it all around as our Enry used to say.
 
Morning all,
Dry & a little bright on the Wirral this morning, though we did have rain last night.

Off on a 8km walk with SWMBO, then I have a new central heating programmer and thermostat to fit. Shed rewire has taken a bit of a back seat over last few days, so will get back on that also.

Stay safe & have a great day!
 
Sunny out and no rain. Put some brown bread out earlier and then had to wash the dogs feet off due to the mud. Think it was a Rock pigeon that has been around recently. Might do an evening plink sometime on a James Bond card. Well done Mr One more job on your retirement. :) I will read up on the daily action -a little pic of little Peanut in Kent hopefully and Mr Roly s bird pictures and whatnot later.
