Not screwed down yet. Will do that tomorrow. Thanks to all of you guys, particularly @Mick Annick , for inspiration and wise counsel.

PS bored of drilling holes.

PPS smacking the hell out of hot rivets is fun.

Looks really good

Looks fantastic. Now get the roof done !

Don't forget the gnome for the bucket winding handle though !

There’s a 16mm drill bit and a spanner at the bottom of the well I made a cover for.

10mm spanner?

@Bouledogue did you find any treasure in it?

I didn't do any fishing, @RichardM . Too scared. Felt dizzy just sliding the cover into place...

Went with my wife to visit some caves recently. The guide had to escort me back to the surface.

17mm Facom combination, was bolting down the well pump and let my concentration slip for a moment

Indeed, the latter, @gaz1 , but that is currently job number 8427 on the list...

In the hope that this thread may turn into a "Show Us Your Well" thread,
and inspired by @Bouledogue 's project priority numbering, here is a photo
of one of mine (got 4 in total ).
I did make the superstructure about 25 years ago, but the tiles slipped off
and I never got around to putting them back on. Pity really, as now I can
basically remake it

Good idea. Well porn!

if you hybrid a well structure you can create both a well system but have it as a barbeque area and also a cooking top area for kettle

Sadly not many places in the UK have a well now. Most have been filled in.

I suppose we could do a "show us your stop-cock" thread...
