tis assembled, all part accounted for and it seems to look like the pictures
among the many parts is a bolts, washers and nuts kit for attaching machines , rather useful as the next task is unpack and commission the rolling mill
not railway lines but wire and sheet non-ferrous,small, pretty and shiny stuff
sil mucks about with nice metal as well so he can use it if i can play with his nice new bench grinder if i need to, not for the current project i hasten to add, they are useful for sharpening some things and shaping and polishing many things but not metal like that
between us we have some useful kit, when i suggested we needed a forge/workshop he seemed to like the idea
premises that are convenient and affordable are very hard to find, my chum who does wood carving for new or restorations has not found anywhere suitable in several years, my issue would be health and safety for my gas axe/plasma torch, power hammer, grinders etc as well as the forge sparks and no noise issues with the neighbours would be good it would be nice but impractical round here afaik
we do know of a "school" in the teach and trade tradition but the owner is rather controlling and difficult although he does have some useful kit
apart from having to improvise a hearth outside(i have refined gold in the yard and have a half pound silver melt planned)we have quite a lot of that sort of kit between us
my tile cutter is ace for stones and jet, odd how some things can have more than one use |
