Even when I employ my personal assistant, Mrs Radar*, she can't find them either. The other month I made a stiffening strut for the brake cross-shaft; the top section was finished on the miller and then disappeared - it literally evaporated when my back was turned. Gone, never to be found. Mrs Radar did her best, but no luck, I had to make another. Of course, as we all know, one day it will turn up, rejected by the Borrowers as being now unfashionable or worn out....
