Excellent looking shots, love the gantry crane. My only critique is the scale of the beet, perhaps use something like sesame seeds. Keep the shots coming please.
Great job, I've being meaning to start this little project myself as I also have no soldering experience, this might give me the encouragement to give a blast.
Amazing work there Richie. The workshop looks great and in the kitchen!! No wonder you get so much work done, Eat, drink in the same space.....all you need is move the bed in and you'd have a proper sweat shop!!
I believe one exploded in Cork in the 60's, spoke to a guy at the Cork show last Sunday about it and he's got some Photo's of it he was going to route out for me. I'll post them up if I get them.
