Zadig:
I've been posting the build of this engine for a few years now, so for anyone interested and continuity, the build can be found here:

To make a start on the final leg, here are some pictures of the ashpan construction.

Nice to see this here.  I highly recommend reading through the link to anyone interested in a really
well done traction engine project :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hi there, Zadig,

I like the idea of combining the folder with the press - it must save a lot of workshop floor-space.

Is your press hand-operated or does it have a motorised hydraulic pump (i.e. like Keith Fenner's press)? 

Zadig:
Cheers for the recommendation Joe, it's good to be here.

Thanks Pete,

No, I have the poverty model whereby you have to pump it by hand. I'll post more pics of the press brake over the next few days.

Nice bit of kit. Is the press brake part home brew or purchased?
