    I've admitted to no one until now that we moved to Sidmouth not just for the ford, the sea and Waitrose, but also because it's just 14 short miles from Axminster.

    Home of all things power tooly.

    I can be there and back, several hundred quid worse off in less than an hour, it's brilliant .

    In this shop I went to, they have power tools that are as tall as me, of unknown purpose, but at the bottom there is a single valve coupling for a pneumatic pressure feed!!



    That can only be good....surely...

    When I did my aprenticeship (many years ago) and whenever I've had the opportunity to do site installations I got to play with machine tools and big drills, when I've taken clients to sub-contractors machine shops I've seen 60 year old veteran engineers stood mesmerised by a big NC Lathe or horizontal borer.
