  1. Past hour
  2. Easter treat maybe???? Online Battery Solutions for Modern Living | BMS Technologies Ltd
  3. If i recall, he melted the Ali first, then introduced and copper bars after
  4. IIRC the Vanette re-references the oven low flame to a larger flame at gas 5 and above. Hence the variation in gaps between the numbers. So any old numbered knob that fits will not do, but if you can find a clean new knob you could step through the settngs on the old one and transfer them across to the new one. N
  5. VAT almost certainly irrelevant wuth a small frader, the turnover isn't high enough and usually the punter buys the materials, so just pays for labour. When the VATman got merged with the Taxman they got a bit less fearsome.
  6. If they were both molten they would not be dissolving. Usually one, solid, metal is put into the main constituent metal in liquid form. The solid dissolves into the liquid. There are a few instances where the larger constituent is dissolved into the liquid smaller constituent. N
  7. I believe it was 90% Copper. Really good to watch.
  8. More here, "Both boats are too large to navigate parts of London's waterways, and could cost up to £500,000 to moor." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-41128408
  9. The numbers on our gas oven control knob are wearing out, I am struggling to find a replacement. So I wondered if anyone on here has a similar model if you could post a photo of your oven knob. The spacing as far as I can make out between 3,6 is quite a big gap. I will have a go at repainting the numbers on
  10. On this day in 1980 Neptune's Staircase Caledonian Canal. Compare 7Jun2014 17Oct2014 7Jun2017 14Jul2017 14Oct2022 (#2)
  11. Gosh! Faintly surprised the two metals dissolve when molten....
  12. Welcome back G&F! Were've ya bin??!
  13. Like this? http://diesel.afmm.org.uk/
  14. Snow in the West country this morning, forecast for Wales and central England, also snow in Yorkshire this am.
  15. Been watching YouTube videos and a mixture of Copper and Ali comes out really nice. Looks like Gold 🙂
  16. I think we have a member here who dabbles in brassfoundry. Made a batch of bronze windlasses a few years ago IIRC. Was it @Bee perhaps?
  17. None of the items displayed suggest any painter known to me. The water can and dipper do not display the swift flair of a professional painter, and are probably the work of an amateur or a boatman. The cabin block is well excuted with hints of a northern style, but a bit too meticulously to suggest that it is the work of a dockyard painter. In conclusion, I suspect that, probably, none of them are the work of professional painters. Dave may not agree, but he is far more knowledgeable than me, Phil Speight may well recognise the painters, he hasn't posted on here for something like ten years but has facebook site advertising his painting courses.
  18. Buying directly from a manufacturer always will be the most expensive. It would be commercial suicide for a manufacturer to be seen to be undercutting their distributed sales agent network. The agents would all instantly drop that product and sell another brand where the manu was not competing directly with them in the marketplace!
  19. You could also try Bridport Foundry and the folk in Madeley (madeleybrass castings.co.u) that do the BCNS explorer plaques. Procast Nottingham (www.procast-shop.com) have also been known to do one-offs as well as their narrowboat brassware.. N
