What happened at your workbench today?

[Alan McLennan]

I've started back working on my scratch build Decauville 040 live steam what ever, I positioned the gas tank and made a Displacement Lubricator over the last couple of days
What a Bloke will do to save spending money on stuff he can probably make LOL, and when you spent time working and brazing up 6" table E flanges to copper pipe with a size '20' oxy tip, 1/8" and 3/16"
pipe seem real daunting to start with, but flame control is everything even with MAP gas. So here are my efforts for the last few days.. some tidying up still to come, but it's Friday and Pub O'clock. have a good one !

Same! I'd have really liked to draw contour maps and the like. Here's a quote, but I don't remember from whom:

Tell me and I will forget.
Show me and I may remember.
Involve me and I'll understand.

A sentiment I whole heartedly agree with

Have to say bending small bore pipe always a bit of an issue for me, have benders but always forget that Annealing first appears to be the secret?
