Yes John, that's why when I got this place I got EDF to run in a main 160 amp per phase supply to my barn / workshop. I was able to twist their arm as the 11kv to 415 transformer is on my wife's vegetable plot I didn't even have to pay for the installation

With that much juice ,sure your not farming Cannabis Andrew
 Well a bit more done this weekend ,not as far as I would have liked ,but hey ho thats life  Slapped the fire pot onto the mill drill so that I could poke a hole in it for the air blast to enter . ![[Image: P1080010_zpsa8c3c597.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080010_zpsa8c3c597.jpg.html) ![[Image: P1080011_zpse3fc7416.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080011_zpse3fc7416.jpg.html) I had to drill the hole before I welded on the top flange as the mill/drill dose not have enough thought depth. ![[Image: P1080015_zps11db424e.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080015_zps11db424e.jpg.html) It pays to think a head  , Next up I need to make a flange for the bottom so that I can connect up an air supply , so I slapped a lump of steel into the Cub lathe .![[Image: P1080019_zpsdd567a4b.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080019_zpsdd567a4b.jpg.html) A few smoking chips . ![[Image: P1080031_zps927833a3.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080031_zps927833a3.jpg.html) and out pops the freshly machined flange . ![[Image: P1080036_zps5c2843be.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080036_zps5c2843be.jpg.html) This will need some holes drilled /tapped into it before welding to the fire pot . ![[Image: P1080040_zpsb8832bee.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080040_zpsb8832bee.jpg.html) ![[Image: P1080043_zps94ca5bc1.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080043_zps94ca5bc1.jpg.html) Cheers Rob

Evening Lads .
A wee bit more done tonight ,drilled the fixing holes in the flange and welded the flange to the fire pot . ![[Image: P1080058_zpsff2515cd.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080058_zpsff2515cd.jpg.html) Next up I tacked up the top flange . ![[Image: P1080063_zpsd845752a.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080063_zpsd845752a.jpg.html) And then tacked that into position on the fire pot. ![[Image: P1080067_zps71c1f0df.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080067_zps71c1f0df.jpg.html) ![[Image: P1080069_zps5a07ea49.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080069_zps5a07ea49.jpg.html) ![[Image: P1080071_zpsd8484768.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080071_zpsd8484768.jpg.html) This was then fully welded both sides ,well almost welded overheat tripped with about 4" left to weld .  ![[Image: P1080074_zpsc59ba6cf.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080074_zpsc59ba6cf.jpg.html) ![[Image: P1080076_zps674c4f37.jpg]](http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/RobWilson100/media/Forge/P1080076_zps674c4f37.jpg.html) Also the Russian Lad on Ebay has let me down with the depleted Uranium sheet , so it looks like mild steel will have to do Cheers Rob
