Hi Folks,

I am not dead (yet!) but haven't been posting in the engineering forums as what I have been recording has been restoring my house in Langtoft in preperation for its next tenant.  The house is finished at last, well nearly anyway but I will spare you the rest, apart from maybe getting the tree stump out, for which I have a cunning plan! I get a steel welding bench and add it to the workshop, and next week I will be fitting it and also adding a couple of vices and generally sorting the blacksmiths shop/welding area, and about time too! I feel another selling/decluttering session coming on!

Well speak of the devil.... our power just went out.

Started up the old Indian Lister clone generator. Hand cranked to start. Two 24" flywheels.

Lights back, cooking dinner, router powered up, back online.

Soothing sound, putt, putt at 600 rpm in the distance instead of a 3600 rpm racket maker.

Nice! I have a real one sitting out in the back yard (firmly sheeted up at the moment, until it gets a new permanent home), unfortunately it's not exactly ready to make power just now... but then we very rarely suffer power outages here. I nearly sold it... but have now decided that, when I move house next year, I'll convert it to 3-phase & use it to power the mill & lathe.

They have to hype it up to support climate change it’s like the rain for the last 2 days here. Still waiting. lol

You got me worried, so looked up the weather for Britain. It's a storm called Floris. Hope you all are okay, Monday...
