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 Smiley-dancenana

With that much juice ,sure your not farming Cannabis Andrew RotflRotfl

Well a bit more done this weekend ,not as far as I would have liked ,but hey ho thats life Smile

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 Popcorn , 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 .

and out pops the freshly machined flange .

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

And then tacked that into position on the fire pot.
