Good idea. I may well end up doing that at some point.

A good deal more fettling and machining to Bantam squish cylinder head casting No.2, which is looking rather agreeably chunky, in its way.
That, and a resolution to eat more oatmeal porridge as an act of defiance to our disgraceful and insane government...

Evidently, oatmeal porridge is now classed as 'junk food' by HMG, and advertising it is to be banned.
Not burgers or fried chicken , though.... ?
Well, who'd - a - thunk -it...

Only the flavoured ones with added sugar etc, plain oats not included in ban. Lots of breakfast cereal is touted as 'healthy' but most of it is full of sugar and salt

Bought this Fakita last night and it was here 7am this morning.
Ronseal fence paint needs to be thinned 3:1 water to make it work well but saved me a lot of time.

An air installation for the workshop:
Everything I installed worked first time, no leaks... Very happy with that.
The 150 psi air did reveal that the hose reel had a deteriorated section though.
However, chopping it off a foot short, I was able to reinstall the clever little ferrule and fix it.

That reminds me years ago, an installer was in an old employers workshop to fit a new tyre machine, and commented, "I see they got a plumber to install the air pipework", followed by "I bet that airline in the corner fills with water?".
Every drop was a basic T straight down, and the first one after where the air pipe came into the workshop always filled with water.

This^^^ and galv pipe really
I noticed on our shop floor recently we'd gone away from taking the drop from the top of the pipe, instead relying on a reducing tee orientated so the drop came out sideways. Should be okay I guess.
I haven't noticed any drains on the ends of our newer drops either. Maybe I'll ask the staff forum what the current SOP for checking and draining is . . . that should cause a few consternations

There's probably enough adjustment with a big footprint wrench to let me put them horizontal but if not it's no skin off my nose as I would normally to snift the valve before I use it anyway.
