Who's been a busy boy then??

[squirrelciv]

Been playing in the shed ready to hit the ground running on Abigail. What do you reckon??






Loads of space now, just hope I can find everything. Oh and it's all RobG's fault! after popping down to his shed the other week I was (a) jealous and (b) embarrassed (the cow horn bars are great matey and very much appreciated. Thankyouverymuch )

[robG]

Glad to be of service Pat .The shed looks fine , however can't help noticing that in the top picture , the middle red box is slightly further out than the others .Also , the workmate doesn't look straight , left hand down a bit ,I think .
Other than that , a good effort .

Sorry, will try harder next time Did you spot the gas cylinder in picture number 3? That's going to be my wood burning stove for the winter

Nice shed!

Looks like you have more room in that than I have in my entire flat... 

[robG]

Sorry, will try harder next time Did you spot the gas cylinder in picture number 3? That's going to be my wood burning stove for the winter

Pat , it's a gas cylinder , there's no wood in it , just gas .Whoever sold it to you as a stove was fibbing

Is that a new strain of Swine Flu ?

And he said "Flanges"    OOooooohhh!!!!!

Ah ! I see . Won't work without a clesby flange piece adaptor . Left hand thread on this model .

Rob .

[guest27]

Yup but is has had the Forbush modification and thus will also need the Parkinson frag sprocket before the clesby flange piece adaptor else the Johnson mounse strap will foul the Pathinhaugh bobbleflet.

The forbush modification requires a considerable amount of grinding to take place around the rim .Not entirely satisfying should the incorrect lubrication be administered .
As an alternative , the bush could be given a good reaming and an interference fit substituted .

Rog ?

Rob .

[squirrelciv]

Hang on! Hang on! I've been grinding away at that rim all night using copious amounts of goose fat for lubrication and I'm more than satisfied thank you very much! The forbush modification is now in place along with the clesby flange piece adaptor without a sight nor sound of parkinson frag sprocket. Though to be fair there was considerable wear evident on the johnson mounge strap

[guest7]

Obviously you've considered one of the many fine felching devices available on the market?

GC

....and a very pleasant (if not tiring!) day was spent trying them out too

[robG]

Obviously you were using an abrasive felching device . Historically less effort was required using a smooth equivalent .The traditional Johnson mounge strap in leather ,has now been superceded by a modern {vegan friendly }equivalent.
Putting my health and safety head on , Pat I hope you were wearing a carbon fibre cod piece and leather face mask,as the Johnson mounge strap is notorious for it's ability to flex .You don't want to end up like Major Digby Prewett {1875-1921} Scots Guards {retd} , motally wounded at his Weybridge family seat whilst demonstrating the application of said apparatus to his young chamber maid , Mary .
You have been warned 

Rob

[squirrelciv]

I heed your warning and thank you for it. Upto now I have put my life (and that of any possible future little squirrels) in the (as I thought) safe and sturdy grip of my old reliable Harchester Trussock. I shall think again in future.


Matron pass the goose fat, I'm going in!
