  1. Do you ever use dye and developer to test stuff...? ☹️
  2. I'd get em unplaned and oversized.. Then let em settle for a bit in a dry corner before planing, thicknessing and matching... ☹🇬🇧
  3. Yeah... But Curtis has years of experience using the air arc process.... He still had to re-cut the thread... I did a bit myself years ago...
  4. Dynomometer test as i doubt that engine would have the capacity to swing a generator that size at the speed required to provide any useable power... Plus the bed shows evidence of having various pads and mounts for other stuff...
  5. Bit of compressed air rather than a drift would've seen that out...?
  6. Cut a shoulder on it and launch it in her freezer to shrink summat on then re-cut thread...? Or get someone to do an Adam Booth on it and spray weld build up with puddle gun & powder...?
  7. The post drill is by the "silver manufacturing co" I bought it together with a beam drill, an early Cunliffe & Croom lineshaft driven slotter and a lineshaft driven Plano-mill by Wm Muir
  8. Inside corners with no radius... Stress points
  9. Sodium silicate bound sand is used for cores... They should've used Petrobond for the external faces.... But it's turned out allrite... 🇬🇧🙂
  10. For most of the war the German army held the higher ground... This became even more apparent in the last few months of the war as the advancing allied powers were able to look back at their previous positions and realise just what a panoramic view of the battlefield German observation had been enjoying...
  11. Are they using Petrobond...? Or greensand...?
  12. Matthew Look has indeed rescraped the Holbrook lathe he owns...as well as a shaper I think... I have been trying to contact him over the plano-mill
  13. The munitions works near Thorpe Arch may be referring to Barnbows....?
