| Boiler tubes and copper sheet
Hi
Just a couple of pictures to add today. The fire tubes are ready to flare and fit in the tube plates plus the copper for the remainder of the boiler is in the shop now and being cut into lumps. The copper for the wrappers is 10 gauge, to make the firebox and outer wrapper a sheet 17 inch x 27 inches is required.
Way i like to cut sheet like this is with a loose hacksaw blade, gives a bang on line cut with very little work to do to clean it up. Time to cut all the bits 6 hours.
