Must be about 6-7 years ago when I phoned Thomas Flinn to ask if they could make me a hybrid saw? As a furniture restorer I come against mixed soft and hardwood all of the time so having one saw that can cope with anything is really handy. Chris, just happened to be in the office so Katie handed me to over him. I explained what I wanted and two weeks later it arrived in the post.

At the end I got it. Where he was going. One by itself is ho hum but with several others the contrasts are between them all is quite striking. Much to learn here and apply to my own practice.

Relaxing,,, perhaps even in todays jargon it could be described as “slow blacksmithing”.

My first job when I left school. Was working for a company in London. Whitey plate works. In Hackney road. To solder things together we had town gas and foot operated bellows . That was over 50 years ago.

I totally forgot about Kelvin flats, then I found this. I remember visiting someone there around 1976 as a child, seemed OK, not scary or unfriendly. I remember the unique wide landings more than the flat.

This engine is not only ridiculous powerful but the fact that it can reverse so quickly is almost beyond comprehension. It’s akin to having a challenger 2 tank stop from its max speed in less than its half its own length and then back up at 30mph

Thank you, Lora. I'm glad you like the painting. It was quite something to do at the time. I'm really pleased with the result and incredibly pleased that @SheffieldMuseums was able to witness its creation.

I served my time as a fitter-turner at the River Don works 62-70 and was lucky enough to see this engine actually rolling plate. The job at the time was rolling plate for a shield for a nuclear reactor at a power station. It was an awesome experience, the noise, heat, smoke ( caused by the birch twigs) and sheer power of this engine the sight of which is etched in my memory for ever. Saw the engine again in 96 at the Museum. Yes a wonderful sight but no where near as awe inspiring as when she was rolling red hot plate.

Hi Peter thanks for sharing your memories about the River Don Engine I was lucky enough to meet another fitter at the River Don steelworks who told me about his time looking after the Mill pumps & Hydraulic presses in the 60s I hope he's ok I volunteer down at Kelham & I never get tired of watching her in action when she's up & running take care all the very best Greg Harris
@philward53Ай бұрын
Thanks for your insights. I've seen a dramatic film at Kelham Island museum of the rolling mill in action, birch twigs and all. I wonder if they still show it? It would be good if that film could be uploaded onto KZfaq.
