For many years, I've wanted to be able to roll sheet metal (in small sizes). From shaping the nickel silver cleading on my traction engine to making fuel tanks and small exhaust mufflers. So after saving up the Workshop pocket money, I've finally got a set of Mini Bending Rolls- Quite heavy duty rollers for a 300mm wide unit and steel geared. Plenty big enough for all the jobs I have for it, and at 14kgs, just unbolts from the bench to be stored out of the way. ....I'll get around to making some Swaging Rolls one day

As promised, here are a few pics of old Cat machines I have or have had. The first one is of the first (1949) D47U I had and sold, next pic is of the one have now (1952 D4 7U) and the 1961 12E grader i had and sold

I was at Chillingham Vintage Rally at Wooler in Northumberland yesterday a nice selection of horticultural machines some of which are not seen very often

Hooked things up this morning to see how things looked. Fired up the Goat and threw a latex glove under it. Shot it nicely in to the back of the trailer. Also blew it out again. By 'eck it's got some waft. So what next. Need something along the lines of a silage trailer, methinks. So what's next? To be continued...…..
