Peter Fitch and Peter Pardington are seen here (right) putting the finishing touches to it on Tuesday 25th March. To the left of the post box can be seen the new style of fence which it is hoped will eventually go all round the turntable. Much other work has also been going on over the winter months. In the workshop the big lathe has been converted back to run on a three phase supply. It originally ran on three-phase, but was converted to single phase when we first acquired it. Now that we have installed a three phase converter to supply other machinery in the workshop, the opportunity was taken to convert the lathe back again.
