    You are clearly at the forefront of the profession so I have some nibs to send you if you have the time, inclination to do it again, and enough lube to get you through it.

    Cheers!

    Sure why not ! Price ?
    New gas Bottle £45.00
    New hammer £15.00
    Hand held grinding blade £10.00
    Bill from the National Grid for running the large grinder £150.00
    O and a tin of lubricant £1.45
    How does that sound ?

    you should jump on that as that is underpriced for the skill involved and actually demonstrated. Make sure you tip in lube.
