I met a really nice chap called Rupert Blanchard the other day. He had opened a small junk shop to make some room in his workshop and raise funds for a new home. In the junk shop I found these old electric boxes. Rupert sorted me out with a fair price and even threw in an old defunct heater. The two small boxes have made some great (ok a little heavy) cast iron card holders. All they needed was a good clean, a clear coat and a quick release pin to keep them shut. I am already using the two larger boxes for some wall lights. You can see Rupert's fine craftsmanship <a href="http://www.rupertblanchard.com/">here.</a></div>

In the picture above- the legendary Rolls Royce Merlin, and below, a Napier Lion mounted in a vintage power boat. I love Napier Lions for their W12 engine layout and have seen them strapped into Brooklands race cars such as Chris William's Napier Bentley aptly named 'Pure Laxatives,' noise, oil, smoke and fire - woo yeah!</div>

We had a great day out, running around, and playing hide and seek until Matthew climbed into one of the displays of engines and got stuck. The 3 of us even managed to get stuck in a lift which was a first for all of us and was hilarious as we were rescued.

relic look settled at the end of the workshop... this stunning piece of
engineering is a Jacobs R-755-9, a seven-cylinder, air-cooled, radial engine
for aircraft manufactured in the United States. It has a dry weight of 505 lb
(229 kg) which wasn't easy to manhandle out the back of a van to its current
resting place by myself. The engine has a displacement of 757 cu in (12.4 L).
When this was made engineers were engineers and did not have computers to help
them design power plants. How did they know where to put all the oil chanels in
the casting and what size they should be? Trial and error I guess? </span></span></div>

flown from one of the primary training fields around Phoenix,
Arizona. The Stearman was later stored at Williams Airfield near
Chandler, Arizona and at some point sold to an aircraft salvage yard in
Chandler from which Robert recovered the engine (and others by the sound
of it) the airframes having been scrapped.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On my travels Sunday morning whilst looking for a new/old club hammer, (the modern fibre glass shaft broke on mine, as most modern tools do) I came across this lovely market barrow with expertly carved inscriptions. I think the hand barrow was for sale, if I only had room.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
With some more research I have found that the barrow was made by Edward Howard of 23 Wheeler street Spitalfields (now Quaker st) Howard built barrows for hire to the costermongers who bought produce
wholesale at Spitalfields Market. Costermongers sold fruit and
vegetables from barrows in the crowded streets of the East End.</div>

Here's a few snaps of my house mates favourite saucepan that I
repaired for the house. Nice French aluminium bicycle crank arm, broken
but perfect for the job. I love it when I can fix something with a re
purposed object.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
New laws came to scrap metal yards on Monday the 3rd of December.</div>
<br />
<div class="intro" style="margin-top: 10px;">
<strong>Metal dealers will no longer be able to trade in cash and will face tougher sanctions for rogue trading.</strong></div>
The measures are designed to stamp out the illegal metal
industry, which costs the UK at least £220 million a year. From 3
December, legislative changes will take effect to:<br />
<ul>
<li>remove the 'no questions asked' cash payments which have allowed unscrupulous traders to evade checks </li>
<li>increase financial penalties – illegal traders will now face fines of up to £5,000</li>
<li>give police new powers of entry to tackle illegal trading in metal yard</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is this the end for local totters? many of which don't have bank accounts?.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My local yard has to issue you with a cheque and have photo id cards coming soon that can apparently be used at cash points.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This can only be a good thing, more on this to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Finally I found a picture of the Red Barron's chandelier, I love the fact that it has a bulb where the propeller would have been, just like mine. I have just got my hands on another radial engine and it seems a lot larger than the last one, more on this to come.</div>

Just got back from a trip to China, I loved these trikes that were all over the place being used for lots of different jobs. In Beijing the bikes are called Flying Pigeons and in Shanghai the bikes are called Flying Rainbows the bike above is the latter, my favourite because of the stylish curvy front triangle, nice.</div>

It was a great show for us and it was great to meet some interesting characters, exhibitors and some old friends that had returned to the show from last year. Hell we even meet a guy Kell Ransome who's family used to make Ransomes agricultural machinery and Ransomes tractor seats and he now makes a super nice wooden version you can see his work <a href="http://www.new-vintage-collective.moonfruit.com/" target="_blank">here.</a> Thanks for all who came to visit and I hoped you enjoyed the show.</div>

I just spotted this as I was looking for some pics.<br />
<br />
Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed "The Red Baron". This German
aristocrat loved hunting; his bedroom was covered with the serial
numbers of British aircraft he'd shot down and the chandelier was made
from the rotary engine of British plane. The Red Baron was recognisable
by his red-painted plane: the colour of his former cavalry regiment.<br />
<br />
The shape of a radial engine lends itself so well to making chandeliers<br />

I met Laura earlier this year and she has been very patient while I have been working on a few -yet to be revealed projects. She asked if I could help her to make a floor standing lamp to her unique vision.</div>

We sat down for a chat and came up with a few ideas including using a gramophone horn for a lampshade, next was for Laura to draw up a sketch (above). The drawing helped me to get an understanding of her idea and to source the parts to fabricate it from.</div>

I put together a rough base with one of the vintage horns from Tom in the south of France [which we now belive to be lighthouse horns!] then arranged to hook up with Laura to see if I was on the right lines.</div>

Laura also loves the look of polished and green oxidised coppers so I took the horn (which is steel) up to the metal platers. The pic above shows the plating before polishing and the pic below shows how it looks buffed up and the beast of a machine that I used to acheive this.</div>

Standing at almost 6 feet tall here is a photo of how it looks at the mo [The height will be adjustable by about a foot]. Laura bought a super cheap lamp shade from a charity shop to get an idea of how things might look and to get a better idea of how the gramophone horn was going to work. After some confabulation I am to experiment with some chemicals to create a greenish/turquoise faze to certain areas of the copper horn, then wire the base up so it can be used while I try to find a brass gramophone horn to top things off and compleate the assemblage........</div>

I used caustic soda to clean this part as an experiment but it ruined the thread inside and actually changed the size of the original piece, never again shall I play with dangerous chemicals.</div>
