Hi Folks
The screws arrive after some delay, which was odd because the next order from the same company arrived in two days!! I don't get it finished but oh so close! belt to tension, plug to fit, and then start up, test and set the hydraulics  and the stop cam up! With the fencing in the field finished we take the fine weather opportunity to clear up all the bits and pieces that formed the previous fence, and general clear a strip about 100 yards long and 12 wide!much log sawing and Westwood working, We all have some covid like virus at the moment and are definitely operating under par! It was fun, but exhausting!
Phil, sunny and hot, but rain today in East Yorkshire!

Hi Folks
Monday in the workshop tinkering when a call from keith to say the Westwood tractor is not answering to the helm, and I rebuild the steering mechanism on Tuesday, wednesday 30 fence panels arrive, and for the rest of the week, we have fun in the sun, and some rain, fitting them! It went very well, 25 fitted and about another three or four posts and rails to go in before we fit the rest. Very hard work which we will both be glad to see the back of, especially as we both have had the flu this week, but as I often say to Keith, the work is the only thing keeping us alive!!
Phil, in scary thunderstorm East Yorkshire

Enjomor Cheap Chinese Stirling Engine with Modifications - Turned into a GREAT engine

A cheap, around $20 Enjomor Chinese made Stirling Engine from EngineDiyShop when I bought it around 18 months ago and I have done some modifications to it. Its made from cheap materials and some have been recycled, but its a surprisingly a very good engine to run! And a nice addition to my Stirling Engine collection.

Mine are, but they could just as easily be 3D printed.

Much to do this late summer, but finally getting back to the planned workshop improvements. A friend with a pit operation dropped off half a truckload of sand and half a load of gravel, so I don't have much excuse any more for avoiding starting on the concrete work. Other than the fact that we are in drought right now and water will have to come from a nearby stream. But that's the plan now.

Tomorrow, I'll start making up a form to pour in. I'm thinking of doing this somewhat leisurely, in sections, and using up maybe a bag of cement per day. That's about 13 square feet of concrete, mixed, for a 4" thick slab. I don't know, we'll see how ambitious I get.....
