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 .

I had to drill the hole before I welded on the top flange as the mill/drill dose not have enough thought depth.

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 .

and out pops the freshly machined flange .

This will need some holes drilled /tapped into it before welding to the fire pot .

Looking good Mate
Are you sure the fire pot will be "man enough" for the job

Evening Lads .
A wee bit more done tonight ,drilled the fixing holes in the flange and welded the flange to the fire pot .

Next up I tacked up the top flange .

And then tacked that into position on the fire pot.

This was then fully welded both sides ,well almost welded overheat tripped with about 4" left to weld .

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
