Monday

Paul making a threaded plug .....

..... to blank the end of Cochrane's new blower ring

Drilling the blower ring, through which steam is fed to increase vacuum in the smokebox,
to draw hot gases from the fire through the boiler tubes to rapidly heat water & raise steam

Peter sharpening a drill

I'm sorting recently delivered pallets into reusable vs firewood
