So its a summer job :ddb: :ddb: The other furnace will be used just for ally and bronze ,, that i can do indoors :med: Cheers lads Rob |

Hi Rob Oh! Coke .. never thought of that. :palm: Assumed it was a bigger gas wotsit .. Welder is fine as it is. Not wearing it out at the moment. It's resting. Could do with a cushion for it though ... a bit parky around the nether regions .. Dave BC |

I wonder if I could buy coke around here. :scratch: The gas works are long gone so what other industries would be making coke? |
