Not so much today as in last Sunday, but ...

I went into 2 local Aldi stores looking for one of those inspection cameras. There was one left in the second store, which made the trip well worthwhile considering it only cost £40.

A set of Aldi spanners reduced that I didnt need but were just too cheap, earmarked for Grandsons make believe maintenance programme, might save him nicking and mixing all mine up.His plastic ones arent real apparantly!!!!!!

That is an Epping.

Great little cookers they are, i had one for years in my boat. Looks like you are missing the flue box / damper. You don't need it , just fabricate a collar. You definitely got a bargain if its in good nick, they cost £900 new !

Went out front the other day, and the next door neighbour had dropped two of these over the front fence for me.

Heavy duty swivel castors. The size of the bearing is impressive.

That's a 6" vice underneath it. The top plate is roughly 7" diameter.

I'm thinking these could make some decent turntables for something if I whip that bracket off and can figure out a simple locking mechanism for them.

I'm assuming that the fire is on the right and it top loads, so the oven is on the left. That being so, what are the slide holes for at the top of the oven door?

That's great thanks sardine I was trying to find out what it was!! And yes ronan it is for me workshop, the gas bottle one I made 5 years ago has finally rusted through! Thanks everyone! Happy warm workshop days to come!!

They scream welding positioner to me mate but you'd lose the wheel. Nice little worm motor and TIG away

Top loading, you should have an ash pan under the grate. They are meant for coal burning, rather than wood, any small smokeless nuts are OK, definatly not house coal though, that will just furr up the flue. The slider on the oven door is to control the temperature in the oven, its marginal if it actually does or not. You need some oven shelves, the wire shelves from scrap fridges can be cut down to fit.

You will also need a scraper tool to rake out the ash from on top of the oven, and flue, the oblong plate over the oven is the access plate for cleaning in there. And a hotplate lifting tool. The rotary knob on the ash pan door is the air control.

If you are going to cook on it, then that's a whole thread on its own .

Picked up a centec 2a mill and a load of tooling for a ridiculous price, will keep me going till I "eventually" finish rebuilding the Beaver

And there's a perfect chapter and verse reply! One thing the slider will do I suppose is to release steam, which is useful for cooking a lot of things. All the wood fired stoves I make rely on turning the stove up or down to control the oven temperature! It works surprisingly well, unless you want to cook pizza in five minutes on a sunny day...

Cracking little mills, they punch well above their weight, which is considerable for such a small machine!

 

[Wendelspanswick]

Nice mill, I had Centec's on my short list when I was in the market for one.

Where would you get a decent worm motor from. I have used a disabled scooter motor but it's 12 volt and the current is not enough to move it slowly. (At least I think it's current)

What are you using as a power supply?
