Hi Folks,
 had an interesting Monday digging a hole looking for a potential leaking water pipe, and couldn't even find the pipe, let alone find a leak! Luckily the rest of the week was filled with far more pleasant workshop jobs, and Friday was a day with Andy fixing antiques! He brought his tethered race car to show me, but it's not for sale!!

Hi Folks,
Another short week as the local council closed the road for two days to resurface it, and I could not get to the workshop! The Peavey amp is a see if you can fix it job! and it turned out very well indeed! Got some more D type done, and apart from the exhaust, the chassis is finished!    It has been very hot here, and hard to work, certainly working outdoors was not an option, but it will soon be cooler, and then I will be moaning about that too!

Hi Folks,
A short week but a long video! Only two days in the Workshop, a long day of antique repairs with camera shy Andy, an analysis of what went wrong whilst trying to concentrate in 27 degree heat in the workshop, and fitting a rebuild kit to my Rothenburger blowlamp which TBH has never lit reliably since being new, all will be revealed!

Good job.  :clap: Is there any tendency for the 'teeth' on the pullies to damage your rubber drives?

Hi Folks,
It has been so hot! Almost as hot as the seventies!! Last week we did  some field work, but I have not included that in this video as when I looked over it, it was same old, so it was going to be Andy's antiques Repairs, but when I got back and sat down at the computer, it had quit! long story short, it was actually the monitor, but it's all in the video, including antique repairs on a global scale!

I've posted up photos before of hobbed pulley drives. It's a process that works very well and gives a professional result (very similar to what Wilesco does on their drive pulleys). I've done well over a hundred brass and aluminium drive pulleys now.

Here's a vid I did a few years ago of the process -

Cracking on this is what I came up with for belt tensioners.
