Default Alec Chamber's weekend do

This is the first time that a Pool engine and rack bench have been run together in preservation. After a lot of trial we got the bench working quite well. On Sunday we cut the Ash shaker bars for my Pool thresher that I should be showing at the Great Dorset.
The engine is mine and the rack bench is Alec Chambers.
This was the first time I've had the engine running at full power!! We had to fix a forklift to the front to keep it from moving together!
