  8. Early aluminium/alloy is full of impurities Can make it difficult to weld with the argon set...
  9. Forging mild steel should be done with the metal at a bright yellow heat Dull or bright red is not hot enough....And risks creating brittle spots...And thus cracking/spelching

  20. And what was in that factory (I'm reliably informed) was this: As you can see it's a radial drill to run off an old lineshaft arrangement and is part of my private collection.
