Wool and Wood
Myself and the good lady just completed our first event with our wares. It was a mixture of old tractors model steam engines stationary engines old cars busses and fire engines. There were other attractions too many to mention.
Anyway this is our little setup.

Totally shattered now as we also pulled down an old shed in the garden erected a new one and refilled it with what seemed more than came out of the old one. This was done the week running up to the weekend, should have planned that a bit better

That’s a beautiful display Derek; top marks to you and Norine.
On another note; did you manage to take any photos of the old cars and steam machinery please?
Cheers Peter

Thank you I try not to produce too much otherwise I would run out of storage and this is the only way of disposing of some as well as earn some extra tool money, damn it I always want more tools

I also picked up a vacuum pump which the owner had brought but was faulty the company replaced it and told him to bin it, it is now mine free of charge and is all up and running again(I used to repair tools as a living)

Look away if you have a delicate disposition now.
I even managed a new hat

It's funny that you suggest a spinning wheel as I have plans for one and keep looking at them

Looking good Derek, That new hat is pretty swish even if it’s not an Aussie akubra.
The compressor, vacuum pump and tools are a top score; well done sport.
Cheers Peter

Top stuff Derek
Thanks for the photos of the steam engines.
Maybe a steam traction engine could be a future build for me
Love the hat
