Thursday 14th July

Worklist:
Gas engine
Fence
Coke stall and floors

A full house, but no photo's!

Geoff worked on detailing his gas engine for a while and then, when he tried to reassemble it, realised that he'd glued the base around the wrong way. A purely aesthetic problem, but it had to be corrected. Making a platicard section to glue on the front was tried, but thought totally unworthy, so a new steel block was silver-soldered to the front and the whole block milled to shape. Geoff was finally happy.

Laurence continued to work on the fence extension. The previous weeks installation had been with Uhu glue, which, it was pointed out, would not be rigid or long-lasting. The new fence was removed, cleaned up and reglued with 'Araldite' (or the Poundshop alternative).

Stephen mixed up some filler and formed the base mound for the coke store. The remaining filler was used to infil the gap around the building base and level off the workshop floor.
