Yes John, that's why when I got this place I got EDF to run in a main 160 amp per phase supply to my barn / workshop. I was able to twist their arm as the 11kv to 415 transformer is on my wife's vegetable plot I didn't even have to pay for the installation

With that much juice ,sure your not farming Cannabis Andrew

Well a bit more done this weekend ,not as far as I would have liked ,but hey ho thats life

Slapped the fire pot onto the mill drill so that I could poke a hole in it for the air blast to enter .





I had to drill the hole before I welded on the top flange as the mill/drill dose not have enough thought depth.



It pays to think a head , Next up I need to make a flange for the bottom so that I can connect up an air supply , so I slapped a lump of steel into the Cub lathe .



A few smoking chips .



and out pops the freshly machined flange .



This will need some holes drilled /tapped into it before welding to the fire pot .




Cheers Rob

Top notch Rob! I see the shiny metal camera still works as well as ever.

Looking good Mate
Are you sure the fire pot will be "man enough" for the job

John

I will be lining it with depleted Uranium John

I bet I burn out (again) before it dose


Rob

Very smart Rob,

Evening Lads .


A wee bit more done tonight ,drilled the fixing holes in the flange and welded the flange to the fire pot .



Next up I tacked up the top flange .



And then tacked that into position on the fire pot.





This was then fully welded both sides ,well almost welded overheat tripped with about 4" left to weld .




Also the Russian Lad on Ebay has let me down with the depleted Uranium sheet , so it looks like mild steel will have to do


Cheers Rob

Nice welds Rob
Shame about the DU plate
I can get you some Inconel
