stove part 1

This is the progress in the stove, chimney welded on and the door cut leaving the corners to hold it til the hinges are welded on, The final cut will occur then. The feet have been welded on as well.The top will be cut and a flat plate welded so a billy can be boiled. cheers Stewart

Goodies

The grinder that I bought is a little beauty for fifteen dollars and the compressor tank will be a pot belly stove.
















The flowers on the boat were my first attempt at folk art. The engine was fifteen dollars, maybe a paddle wheeler engine?

Recycled organic boat part 12

Just a few more photos, you will notice the timbers have been routed on the edge for more deck beams. The centre line deck beam has been fitted and glued. I spent the rest of the day with a mate and went to the tip and scored some great items, which included a bench grinder and a three horse power robin engine and a cylinder for a bush stove, which I will post about in another post. The new vise glue foams more than the last lot and seams to bind better. cheers Stewart
