Good Morning Worlds!
We are off to the community workshop this morning. I will be taking Scout with a trailer as we have 650kg of paving slabs and ten 4m long translucent roofing sheets to donate towards their future toilet block build.

This afternoon, well, I have no idea yet. Probably more clearing and packing, maybe a tip trip if we feel like it, that kinda thing.
Also trailer and car shuffling to get them all back on the drive, then caretaking work to see what state the Meeting House is in before the Easter weekend.

Don't forget, #MakersHour!

Honestly, you’d have thought I’d be bored of these by now but no! Each one is a bit different and has different needs.

This one was mostly a strip down, clean and polish job. However, somebody had converted it to electric (which wasn’t stated in the advert for it, but it was a fair bit cheaper than others, so swings and roundabouts) and both the main body and the tank had a hole in for the flex. I can live with the hole in the body, but the one in the tank is a little more critical for restoring to use!

I initially tried to used a rivet, but couldn’t get it to work so I then soldered a piece of brass over the hole.

It doesn’t look particularly pretty, but it works and it’s probably a similar repair to what may have been done for cracks and holes when in operational use, instead of throwing it away.

Due to the electric conversion, it didn’t have a burner but I found one in my spares box.

Another one saved!
