New Tractor Shed
AdeV:
Watching a truly skilled JCB driver is like watching a ballet in machinery.

Well don't watch me on the JCB803 :clap:
I put it down to my lack of 3D vision, (*) but I expect a lot of it is that I'm not in the saddle that often.

awemawson:
The light of a new dawn has let me see the destruction we caused yesterday :thumbup:
A large clear area with no tank and a pile of scrap - very good progress and something I've wanted to do since we moved here ten years ago.
awemawson:
So this morning Pete came back to continue breaking up the slab. It proved remarkably slow going, so we decided to punch drainage holes in it on a one metre matrix to get the job done in a sensible timescale.
awemawson:
While he was doing the breaking I took a 'clean up skim' off his Camelback Straight Edge, as it was slightly rounded and would take a long time to hand scrape back. Just a few thou but much faster to remove the bulk of the error on the milling machine for him to finish off hand scraping ready for use in the Scraping Class in December.
Not the best casting in the world, with a few small blow holes in line with the re-inforcing web, probably due to shrinkage during solidification when it was cast. But fully functional.
