Ratel10mm Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (blacksmithy come steam-punk stylee) as Pauline Hanson would say "please explain" ? Well, we could go with an electrically powered spit. That's normal. Or, we could build a water, steam, wind powered spit, with lots of Heath Robinson looking parts, medieval looking mechanisms, that sort of thing. Steam punk! Have you ever seen the British Scrapheap Challenge series? Think that sort of mad engineering type thing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgemaster Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 No more Adult apprentices for this guy, 2 adult apprentices = 2 idiots, has shown me that I'm better off getting kids and training them up from the beginning. Sorry Thats not to say I don't allow blokes to come and learn for a few weeks, but no more 4 year indentured adult aprentices, 2 was enough.
