   for both the tow hook and funnel

[Howard]

Hello good morning Gents,
Am posting a few photos of the tug towing hook I have build now its painted and finished, But they may be my last for a while if not for ever as over the last few weeks/months have  been loosing the uses of my left hand and am totally left handed hope if I rest it for a little while it will come back if not my modelling days are over so keep faith and watch this space.
               Regards Howard. 

[Dave]

That doesn't sound good Howard. Take it easy and I hope you'll recover soon 

[Howard]

Thank you Dave  hope it gets better,
    Regards Howard.

Hello Martin,
 Sorry here are two photo's its 140mm long by 30mm at its tallest place, I made it a Cragsider / Hendon, 1:24 SCALE tug I hope to make after the SD14, as I ran out of half round profile to finish the swaging which I now have. its only for show made of plastic and resin I love North East Tugs but have no interest in towing things modelling is on hold at the moment as am having problems now with both hands but hoping after a few weeks rest I'll get some feeling back and be able to restart.
       Regards Howard.

Nice work on the hook Howard.  I do pray you regain the use of your left hand, not only to finish this monumental model (which I continue to follow with great delight) but also for your more general well-being.  Good luck!

Greg

Thank you Greg,
 I don't know the answer to my now hands as the right one is starting to do the same loosing the feeling in both now cant sleep at night left now very numb but back to modelling yes am very happy with the tug tow-hook all the joints mover just hope I get to use it, SD14 am going to see if I can finish the swaging a little each or every other night and hope its a short term thing with the hands I don't want to go to the doc's or hospital as full of sick people there am bobbing myself about the virus as the family know am one of the ones that would not make it owing to past health problems hopefully  by next week I'll have a little bit to show you all on the SD14 front. maybe it all that cutting of card and slots catching up with me lol
             Regards Howard.

Howard regardless of how you feel about going to the doc or hospital  you need to get there right now. Loss of feeling and hands going numb doesn't sound like a temporary thing and needs checked out immediately. I'me sure everybody here will feel the same way as the last thing we want is you to come down with something more serious because you weren't checked out.

[Steve Mahoney]

Jim's right Howard. Get to the Doc as soon as possible.

[Colin Bishop]

As the others say Howard, get it checked out without delay. It could be a lot of things but the longer you leave it the worse it is likely to get and there is every possibility that it can be treated. Don't become a covid collateral damage statistic.
