Disassemble all the brass items that you can and soak them overnight in a bath of "Apple Cider Vinegar". You will be amazed with the results. It will even free up frozen threads.
That has to be a Costin - at the very least, Costin inspired. Frank Costin - very clever bloke.
Its all seems free - things tighten/loosen, fit, come off. But I have no use for it . . .
Found it -
The three-wheeled car made from wood
It weighs just 900lb, has a top speed of 101mph -and is made entirely out of wood. It took furniture maker Friend Wood, 46, more than 2000 hours to build his three-wheel, tear-drop shaped car, which he has named 'Tryane II'

It was sat behind The Neuadd Arms in Wales, early 90s. At the time it was in use. (Gordon Green owned the Pub, he started Man V Horse, among other events. I was involved with setting up MTB trails)

As winter looms I've decided to join the Darwin Awards Dodgers Club (CO division) with a Webasto type copy diesel heater for the workshop.
It's the "8" kW model - which the spec says uses 0.46 Litres/hour, so by my calculations must also be pulling at least 3.14 kW of electricity.
From what I've seen on the Youtube most of the heat goes straight out of the exhaust so some kind of heat exchanger would be a good idea - a lot of people use wet systems but that seems unnecessary if it's not to store or move and just heat the air, so I'll think of something with a big surface area to send the exhaust through before it goes outside to fertilize the rain forests.

That sounds like a good idea, it is incredibly thin walled and who knows what it's made from.

That car is (or was anyway) not more than than 20 miles from me. Used to see it regularly, it’s owner wizzes around on a recumbent bike.

Did you happen to stop at the local pound shop for a box of plastic bin bags?

Hello, you need a licence to fly a radio controlled plane? When did that come in?I just sat the test for a model aircraft/drone Flyer ID and got the Operators licence whilst at it
My neighbour gave me her (sadly deceased) husbands old fixed wing plane. I didn't know about the licences etc so fortunately I hadn't tried to fly it!
Anyway, all legal now and I am joining a club so the flying is in a controlled manner
