Other garage work/projects ??

After the Z1A "old school rebuild" thread I posted many thanks to all who posted replies and well over half of you had a great interest in my garage and all the "junk" I have.

So I will keep you updated on other "projects" I have on the go.

This is the stove ive made out of a old propane bottle, put it in over the weekend and now Sue my better half, has got no chance of getting me out of the garage.

Went in garage in morning 4 degrees, 30 minutes later 22 degrees !!!

What else are all the rest of you messing about with ??

Wow! that is brilliant - I want one :)

Might be a bit of a numpty question - how did you cut the bottle without blowing up? :shock: I'd assume that a small amount of gas would still be in the bottle and using a disc cutter or oxy would be too risky? :shock:
When life hands you lemons, reach for the vodka.
