Havn't done much lately, been helping my daughter and also a bit crook.
But today I got the plumbing all hooked up (soldered), then started to make a burner, a lot of members who have 24's reckon they are hungry on esbits!!, so mine is metho fueled. It will hold 200ml.

No it's not that big, but, down the track I may fit a feedwater pump.

Video is getting closer, I finished the burner, finally, I've had bronchitis for 8 - 10 days so haven't felt like doing much.



I wasn't sure if I would need a vent pipe, but I think it's far enough from the flame not to flare.



Will probably fire her at "show and tell" here Sat. morning.

"Bog" is body filler, like what is used on cars.

To say something is "smick" means looks nice/perfect. e.g. a mint engine would be classed as smick
