Finished the weather cover strip for now, the strikes are now becoming a pain in the arse as we are waiting for parts and tools to arrive.

It is always a pleasure to see the rapid progress.
The weather cover strip is superbly done and well worth the effort.

Thanks Oliver, I have now finished the IR lamp bracket and I've ordered the aluminum bar so I can turn the lamp it's self, it is just about as big as I can handle on my lathe .

Hi Phil,
Lovely fabrication work on the bracket. It's great to see these parts being made up in steel and operational as well.

Have been looking forward to seeing how you planned on tackling the IR spotlight. Thought you might go the 3d printed route, a la Stephen White.
Watching with great interest.

Kevin I can't believe how big the lamp is, I'm not keen on the thing myself.
