“The Screw Asylum. I suppose it beats collecting Star Wars dolls”
A recent comment that reminded me that the Screw Asylum has been quiet lately. A quick statistic check shows that hundreds are passing the secure double doors and entering at your own risk every day. We’re all still here and there are plenty of new inmates in the wings waiting to show themselves off. Stay tuned…

Heavy pressing has left the head with a slightly extended overhang and a non-parallel slot…and you thought you had seen them all!

A screw needs a point or it’s just a bolt isn’t it?

George recently sent me a mashed up image of Patient 0028 and one of Robert Capa’s greatest photos, Death of a Loyalist Soldier. It’s an amazing bit of photoshoppery and is much appreciated. If anyone else would like to do something similar it would be most welcome. Here’s the original for comparison. Cheers George.
