Latest round-up
New year, new hope?
W
elcome to the January edition of
EIM
and I’ll start by
repeating my salutations of the season for all those who
buy their issue promptly on publication and are therefore
reading this more than a week before the big day...
I had intended to be all upbeat this month and look forward to a
2022 where we really get back to something like normality, though as
I write these words at the end of November all panic seems to be
breaking loose again due to something called Omicron. However if
you delve more deeply and beleive what you read in the news media
there does seem to be serious hopes that this will not be a repeat of
last winter, merely a hiccup on the road to rercovery – let’s hope so.
So it’s a new year, and one thinks about resolutions – at least I do in the sure and secure
knowledge that little of what I promise myself will likely come to pass... Top of the list this
year will be spending more time in the Fairbourne Railway workshop, which is a hugely
enjoyable way to get a miniature (ish) engineering fix when one’s own workshop is not
available. Last time I was out on the somewhat chilly mid-Wales coast Tech ed Harry let me
loose with of all things a pressure washer! Why? this issue reveals all...
Very top of my resolution list this year, however, will be to finally clear all the detritus
resulting from my garage workshop being used as a dump for fmaily furniture and the like,
so that I can start making some serious swarf at home! Laying out the features in the
magazine each month does leave one envious of those who can simply turn on the light in
their workshop and get stuck into their latest project. I’m determined that by Spring I’ll be
machining up the Stuart 10V I was given a long time ago, just to get into the swing of things,
and then starting on something a little more ambitious.
So, what about you? Do you have a list of model engineering aims for 2022? If so could I
be cheeky and add a couple more? Firstly, please tell your friends about
EIM
– those who
haven’t read us for a while may not realise the variety of proper model engineering subject
matter we cover these days, and the more readers we get the eaiser it becomes to maintain that
variety. And secondly, how about helping maintain that variety directly, and helping yourself
to some of our editorial budget at the same time, by writing something for these pages? The
inbox waits expectantly! Have a Happy new Year...
