It's been a while but progress has been made.
The basic construction is done and now I am officially one of the brotherhood of rivet counters.
176 so far.....
Many, many more to go.

That's looking superb so far Tom..thankfully ya ain't a full blown rivet counter ..just a very very low level one who places em and not removes em and then replaces em  :thumbsup:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.

Well........ Many years ago I did work for the Dutch Ministry of Labour. Part of that government ministry was a department which was responsible for safety in the steam industry.
So, I have a history with rivets......

Some lovely work on the beast.  :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I learnt how to do various types of riveting in metalwork at school if that's any good  :angel:
