Phil, what is the purpose of the copper, now steel, pipe that crosses your fire?

hermetic:
It  heats the secondary air and takes it up to the top of the rocket pipe to burn off any wood gasses that are not fully combusted, seems to work as I get a very clean burn and all that is left in the bottom of the firebox is the ash from the cardboard I use to light it, and having checked the inside of the boiler the other day, no soot or condensate. Overall it works very well, but of course if I built another one there are things I would change!  :drool:

hermetic:
Some weeks I get loads done, and some weeks are like this week! Some progress is made with projects, and I almost finish making a table/stand for the J&S bench centres, mainly so I can get them off the bench and onto a stand where they can be used! I WILL do better next week, At least its nice and warm in the shop!

In bitterly cold East Yorkshire. Wheres global warming when you need it?

hermetic:
In which I finish the bench for the Jones and Shipman bench centres, finish the adapter for the pipe bender, and actually get back to bending the exhaust for the Toro 2CV tractor, which I started about 4 weeks ago!  In another lifetime at school, I only once got lines, and mine were "I must concentrate on the job in hand" That teacher knew me really well!!

hermetic:
I get at least half of the exhaust done, and the other half planned, and then I fit the grass deck and realise that there is nowhere near as much free space now, and when the grass deck and the front axle pivot from side to side to follow the terrain, most of that free space dissapears anyway! I have to rethink the other half. See it big, keep it simple!
