    Sorry for taking so long. Alan you are correct Sir, Electrical Principles for the Electrical Trades J.R.Jenneson 2nd Edition has it as kWh, also all answers relating to kiloWatts has it as kW. Thank you for your patience Alan. Brendan

    What upper/lower case do you use for other measures Alan? In Aust the first letter is upper case and second letter is lower case.

    Too hot just flares up, but got to be smoking when you put it on. Around 50/50. Tacky as cools but then it's good.

    Get a list of the amperage of your gear, and gear you want, work out how much use you expect, what items will possibly be running at the same time, wheather running continuos or only part time. Dont forget lighting especially any flood lighting.

    The biggest unknown will be how much growth you expect? When you finally work everything out in only a few years you will at least want double what you need now, if you are planning a long stay expect to want tripple the power you want now. This may seem unrealistic atm, and while costing you extra, now is the cheapeast time to increase the cable size and the switchboard size.

    I'd be making a few phone calls mate, daresay they may even do a straight swap for their old anvil.

    I'm with you M Cochran, not laughing one bit, shouldn't check 9v batteries with your tounge, not a nice way to find out your heart is not up to it.

    Weld an earth bolt inside base, then you have made allowances for an earth, up to him to get a sparky to run an earth to it. Not saying this is enough to meet the manufacturing requirements of where you are. (Enter a whole new ugly world). gromet idea is good too. Nice job BTW

    Your level of satisfaction is likely to change mate, so is your skill level and your forge, make it now and get into making the steel hot
