Wood! We have lots to do when we come back from Powderham show. 72 English oak pads to drill and fit. To the challenger.
Does anyone know a bolt supplier that can do me a quote for 150 m18 x 90mm high tensile with x2 washers and a nut?
Thanks All

One very stuck sprocket but we do like a challenge and I have 4 hours to sort it before heading back down home 😁

Very pleased with how these flags came out! Traditional sign writing is just an amazing skill set which I do not posses. Looks much more authentic then a sticker πŸ™‚

Fowler Challenger 3 is a nice size machine even compared to the 19T Talus MB-H. I reckon it’s been a while since two of these have seen each other
