Ruby ARQ Rejuvenation

[Geoff Halstead]

Since my last post things went south again due to tablets and my stupidity ?
Decided to spend more time in the Workshop using my machine tools in making tools, as I’ve been ignoring them for too long.
That time had the desired effect in getting my enthusiasm back to doing something worthwhile on the Ruby, until:

Mid-June I amputated the tip of my left thumb including a bit of bone & ripping the nail cleanly off/out, by placing it in the hinge side of bungalow front door jam, then attempting to close said door!!
How STUPID can one get⁉️
Plastic surgery that needed extra bone removal to allow skin to cover the now shorter thumb.
It is now healing quite well, with nail and thumb tip now half length.
Thank goodness it wasn’t the right thumb!
Doing buttons up needs a completely new approach, as is holding things.
Surgeon said 6-8weeks for nail to grow back and 6months for tip to heal.
Workshop time it is for the duration as I dare not try anything on the Ruby for fear of banging the tip that is still rather sensitive.
Talk about being in the Wars

Geoff - Is something/someone trying to tell me something?
PS.
I won’t post photos as they are not for the faint hearted??
