My eldest son has to make a PowerPoint presentation on this subject.
As I’ve made a few of these installations,I phoned around,at short notice (1 day),I was expecting a lot,but as 2 of them are only 4 miles away,and I’ve done other jobs for both these customers within the last year,thought I’d be in with a good chance.
I made all this metalwork during 2010-11,and have since renewed the gearbox twice since,once under warranty,and once due to wear of the internals.the wheel is obviously the original 19th century,I just made new buckets,out of Corten.
This was designed by a professional,I merely advised on the fabrication and mechanical engineering,then produced it.
It’s interesting to see how it all ages,as well as my son as he had to sit for 2 hours once in his buggy at less than 1 year old whilst I worked on it.
