Hi folks,
A short week this week, Monday O got excellent news from my surgeon, and Friday Catherine got a neurological shakedown that was shall we say, less than rigourous! We started, or at least continued the tuesday field day with a final log clearance and a bonfire of the remaining brash and twigs, , Wednesday I finished the Holbrook, and Thursday I wired some 3 phase sockets for uncle Michael (my brother) for his Boxford VSL  lathe and his  drill press, which we have to convert back to 3 phase at a later date! A short but productive week!

Hi folks,
A varied and interesting week of sorts, creating space in the workshop by dejunking and removing stuff that really should be stored elswhere, or used up! I pop down to Mikes just to oversee his fitting of a new burner motor to the oil fired boiler, I wasn't needed as he did it all and off it went! Tuesday we were once again outstandng in our field, and got a start on the fencing. The rest of the week involved coming to terms with the fact that if I was going to get rid of the rust old dexion shelving, I would have to build something to replace it! Woodwork sometimes brings out the worst in me, and my efforts to make a good job  end up in frustration, but I soldiered on through the black clouds of doom, and eventually achieved a bright new tommorow or at least built some usefull storage shelves!
Phil, Spring at last in East Yorkshire!

Hi folks,
A very productive week with some Rapidor sawing, welding and fabrication, fencing and workshop gets a complete ground up rejig in order to get the Holbrook lathe into its new position now that it is completed apart from the shakedown trials and any mods I need to finesse(?) its operation! The post knocker I made on Monday revolutionised Tuesdays fencing the field session but it is a bit too long for six foot posts so I will be making a smaller one next monday! it has already been christened "son of cyberman" All good fun and a very productive week!
Phil, Cool again in East Yorks!

hermetic:
Hi folks,
A very varied week of jobs, encompassing consumer electronics, Welding and fabrication, garden tractors, fencing and tree husbandry! The yard tidy got more or less finished, the westwood got some much needed carb attention,and we got a lot more bank clearing and fencing done. Then back to the workshop for more clearing out and repairing!

Hi folks,
A shorth week due to a trip to York on Friday, but we get stuck into the mini D
type, get the body off and get the engine layout sorted and fitted as far as the drive mechanism is concerned, when I get chain and sprockets finished I want to put the body back on to finalise the engine position. I get some more sorting out and spring cleaning done in the workshop, and a lot more items for sale photographed and listed. Sales have been made already!!
