Damn, I missed it, will have to 4OD it tomorrow at work, erm, oops, did I say that out loud?  :lol:

Sounds like there's a fair concentration of madmodders round Merseyside & vicinity; not to mention the cluster around Crewe way, a few in North Wales...

S'funny, I always thought Birmingham & the Midlands was the real machine industry land, but I guess with Manchester & Liverpool playing such a huge part in the industrial revolution, that there was lots of machining going on here too.

Hi

The anchor was made at my works, the shank was made in the forge on the 2,500tonne press, the other bit (dunno what it's called!) was made in my bit, the foundry..

I missed all the fun due to suffering a fall whilst pouring 180tonnes of iron (busted ribs) but i was impressed with the program :thumbup:


Some jobs we made..

Roll housing leg of around 250tonnes, there are four of these plus a top and bottom on the finished mill..



A cylinder of some sort..


Part of a screw press that produces parts for the airbus..


There are three fettlers working on the press in this pic though it's hard to see through the flash of the arc-air..


emptying the slag/leftover steel from pouring a job..



Sorry if the images are too large, i don't know how to do the thumbnail pics yet :scratch:


Cheers, John :)

Bernd:
