Found some 1/4 plate and made 2 engine plates so now both engines fitted and all pulleys and drive belts. Next job will be to make 2 fuel tank mounting brackets so the filler neck pokes through the hole in the hood.

Bit more done

Never had a big problem myself I only have three hands two normal one and a big belly to help hold something down.

Thanks mate, it will look better once it's finished.. but i do like the mish mash of different bit's of cladding inside Thanks Paul.. It did survive the wind and rain last month... as for the Sunday just gone......... Nah... The coffee's help warm our hands thus making them work better As always progress has been slow, but it's getting there and I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel... Or should that be "light through the window" that's getting fitted tomorrow The wall in the last photo in my last update has been finished.... The curve in the wall adds character. The next wall on the "To be clad" hit list was the big wall in the shed section... I think the random not matching planks look great.. The dark planks were my old garden gate! Yep, I like to recycle.. Another one of thos milestone has been reached... You know your getting somewhere when the white paint goes on I also painted as much of the "shed end" as I could with all the bit's piled up against the wall. The next day even more stuff got piled up on the pile as I had to clear a lot of space for.... More cladding... Having finally run out of wood to recyle as cladding I got 5 8x4 sheets of OSB to finish the cladding and put the wall up between the shed and workshop.... Well, that was the plan..... Until the strong winds removed a large part of my felt roof!! So two (and a bit) of the sheets have been used as tempoary rather large roof tiles until I can get some heavy duty felt..... And then hope there will be a nice wind and rain free day! In other workshack news the bench has been taken down, the corner cleared of bit's and a frame has been built to fit the window in the back wall... Here it is wedged in the frame to check for fit.. Ok, the view isn't great, but it will be a lot better when the wood has been removed so you can actually see out Ok, even when the wood is removed the view is only of a couple of garage roofs.... But the light and heat that it will create in the shack will make it more than worth it And that is the build up to date, but for those of you who need a video fix... here it is.... Enjoy..

Ha!😝 by the sound of it you guys can’t resist yourselves. Makes interesting reading regardless..... have started to gently remove the years of grime and while I still have lots more to do, it is already looking a little healthier....o

Looking good Mr Showman

So far. So good.

Looking good. For a John Deere.

There's a new toy on ebay some one might be interested in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/OHLSSON-AND-RICE-CREME-LURE-NICHOLS-SUPER-PORTABLE-POWER-PACK-MODEL-D-GENERATOR/124081740241?hash=item1ce3d919d1:g:4aMAAOSwmjZeRIu7

Yup! This is the one. Please let me know if you need a diaphragm to go with it. It's missing a spark plug but was running when I parked it.

I'd take that Tobey for a ride, and just keep on go'n Probably road rash within 10ft though

I had a member walk in to my shop today. I have been talking on line for quit some time now . I didn't think it would happen but there he was its not often you meet someone that you talk to on line. It was great Clint was passing threw on his way to a meeting in Knoxville and came rite by here glad he could stop for a while. ( once in a lifetime) .

It was the highlight of my trip! Fun to meet a fellow enthusiast and addict I wish I would have had more time to hang out and not so rushed to get to Knoxville. Looking forward to another opportunity to meet up. Thank you for welcoming me into your shop- I’m glad all the logistics worked out! That was awesome!

I decided to paint the black bits instead of vinyl because I have always found you get creases when you do large areas I will put the decals on later

Work will slow down now that the kettle has been brought back to life.

Looking good mate Hope its surviving in all this wind and rain !

Good progress Ian, looking good.
