When your head needs a good reset a working party with friends doing some hot riveting does the job. 465 done in two days, they’re continuing over the next couple of days. The projects page. instagram.com/kerrstuart4415…
A few hours of shed work since Christmas, rocker head covers for a 1926 built diesel engine for Kerr Stuart 4415.
Took the kids to the park and got distracted with the offer of a drive.
Sometimes you need something solid to hit things on, a piece of flat bottom rail will make a good anvil with the top skimmed flat.
Making a lot of noise repairing a LNWR slate waggons bodywork.
Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
A bit more space, steel top for bench to come and a welding curtain to draw in front of the machines.
Rostered weeks leave, time to reorganise the shed, the continuous pursuit of better working space in a 18x10 shed.
First firework display with the kids, great fun and Hettie all settled at home listening to Classic FM.
Time for a beer.
The worlds going mad so I’m just cracking on, repairing a shed roof what the father in law do some fly shunting, simple things.
240 drilling operations later the gates are ready for strip and paint.
And that’s the 2024 season ticked off for me.
23:38 book on this evening, dark wet evenings don’t make leaving the house appealing for a night of diversions.
Saving for a while and got round to a new toy (tool 👀) for the shed. A day of TIG practice with company.
