Sounds a fun place to work Stuart

Was that a Lansing Bagnel Tractor a TUG electric ?
Here is one of the places have the pleasure of working in
The crucibles are over 6 foot tall and the moulding flasks ,,,,,,,,,well i could park my van in them

Well i got a wee bit more done tonight ,,, not allot ,but moving forward

Drilled the four radial blast holes in the barrel ,,,,, i used my handy doodad tool to mark the position of the holes ,,, great tool made in the USA .
i marked a line around the barrel some 11" up from the bottom ,,, stick the tool on with the point touching the line and mark that position .

rotate barrel 90 degrees and make sure it cant move

remove tool and reset it back on the barrel with the pointer at zero

repeat until all four positions are marked out ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Nice and easy ,,,,,,,,,just right for a Geordie bloke

then i burnt out a couple of large washes from some 3mm plate for the wind belt
