Martina said...: Joan Elizabeth, this is very interesting, you do not have by chance any photos to show us? Using "unusual" materials is always fascinating to me.

Paula, thank you very much, you made me smile today with your litte guy, he is so cute and funny.

AB, really? I would have thought the charging platform and the blast-furnaces would be part of a tour. These skips were used to transport everything that is needed to the blast-furnaces: ore, coke, scrap ... it is really al-chemistry, ;-)

Thanks to all for your nice comments, :-); 25 November, 2009 21:03

Joan Elizabeth said...: Martina, sorry I can't think if any photos with Dad's homemade handiwork ... and we didn't keep any of it when he died ... there was so much to clear up including many tons of scrap metal.; 26 November, 2009 07:26
Martina said...: Daniel, thx for coming by and following :-); 26 November, 2009 20:18
