In a secret location some where in the village of R
ocklands, at the back of
DGs house in his secret workshop, 3 of the men folk constructed 2 drums and a self contained drum oven with (and get this) hinged door and lock fastening. Yeah, you know
wha Im sayin - this is some mean feather plucker of an oven.
We are obviously very
proud and so wish to bang the drum on our success!
Photos which we know will excite all who look at them are soon to follow. These show the various stages of metalwork construction.
Anyone wishing to know more about the
variants and metal fatigue stresses or indeed the sheer stress on cubic close packed lattice iron below 800 degrees centigrade feel free to email me. We had great discussions over the probable
variants that may happen to the drum during cooking.
Obviously we know its a steel drum, but the iron ferrous changes only affect the iron within the steel drum (and not the steel).
Having heartily debated this and other equally important design considerations we cut the end out and stuck it back with a hinge and then
adjourned for a well
earned double pint with a 4th fellow hunter offering much praise and considered drum banging.
The oven will also appearing on its own rather
risque calendar.
