If I evaporate it here, do you have condensation equipment to reverse the process?

But look on the bright side: The welded-on axle practically eliminates high-speed wheelbarrow accidents!

There's an agricultural plastic used for sheep pens/pig sheds.
I've never used it - but it's been recommended on here a couple of times.
I can't remember what it's called.

Stock board, ive used pallets of the stuff over the years.
Are the trees holding the phone box, or viki-verki?

Not all today, but over a few weekends, rebuilt a Perkins P3, new liners, crank, rings, bearings, all clearances to factory spec, put together and the first coat of Fordson Empire Blue on. Needs another coat before bolting the bits and pieces back on, the fitting the adapter plate and clutch and bolting back onto the body.
I was going to spray it but the castings are quite rough so a decent quality Tractol paint goes on nicely and can be worked well into the metal.
Looking forward to firing it up.

Well really I should have put a pic of the polisher I restored up first but now that I have it, I used it to clean these up. One and a half Carver clamps a before and after:
They both looked bad before I started and now they look quite smart to be honest.

Some weeks ago I dropped my Le Creuset frying pan on the stone floor in our kitchen -the result was a frying pan with the entire handle section of the casting broken away. This was closely followed by disbelief at the £££ cost of a replacement. So I bought a bog standard cast iron frying pan from Amazon for ££, reasoning that once it was seasoned it would be non-stick without any fancy coatings. however, the inside of this pan had a noticeable dome in the centre.
Resulting in one of my more unusual milling jobs....
Not really looking for a surface plate degree of flatness but needed to get an idea of what was doable with the dial gauge.
Blended the milling work with a 40 grit disc in the DA sander before seasoning it with some cooking oil and returning it to its natural environment.

I have an induction hob at home, if I use a cheap frying pan that's not 100% flat on the bottom the pan gets hot spots!
I suspect the bottom being flat is just as important as the inside?
My Granny had an old saucepan that burnt in one spot on the bottom - she blamed jam making in 1697 for it - sugar stuck and burnt. She had a Rayburn with flat hot plates on top - I noticed it wobbled slightly in 1990 - quick tap with a hammer in one spot . . . no more burning.
I still use the same saucepan

My mum had a frying pan with a huge bulge in the bottom of it, she blamed me for putting water in it while it was hot. I'm pretty sure I'd never used it before but I do do that and it's never damaged any of my pans.My Granny had an old saucepan that burnt in one spot on the bottom - she blamed jam making in 1697 for it - sugar stuck and burnt.

Anyway when I did use it the rocking was really annoying (no idea how she put up with it) so I went outside and have it a thump with a rawhide hammer, good as new.
