Cheers Mick.

Hi Mick ,aye its slow progress. It will be fixed in one corner of the shop , opposite the furnace .

Hi Tackit , Yes I will be making a hood and also a blower for it , still quite a bit to do .

Not a criticism but a question: was there a reason why you didn't do the cut outs prior to welding it together? I have a common reason for such things and it is called oversight I'm just wondering if your reason differs?

I must say that I do enjoy your build threads.

Hi Darren , no worries ,fare question and I would not of took it as a criticism we all work in different ways , The reason I did not do the cut outs first is that I am pulling the design out of my arse and making it up as I go , and was humming and haring weather or not to put the cut outs in ,so thought I would do them last as I could chalk them on and see if I liked them,size,position etc , and it was no big deal to do them last.


Cheers Rob
