I've attached a pic of the rig I'm told will transport the liner to the venue.
Obviously the branding will change but how's this for travelling in style???? :-D

I could never afford a horse and trailer like this but Bill maybe being 100%
honest with my buyers is the pay back. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

When you're doing a job where you want to cool the object slowly keep a barrel of insulation around. I have a 15 gallon drum filled about 2/3 with Vermiculite loose fill insulation. Just bury the object in the insulation and leave it. Often times if the piece goes in red hot it will still be warm 24 hrs. later.

Mike, nice work as always.  I enjoy catching up on this thread.  I look forward to the day your liner hits the ground and you fire up that beast.

All the best!

At first glance I thought you'd found a pre-tattoo photo of Nancy, Jerry, but then I looked closely at the wench and see that she's got the wrong color eyes.  Thanks anyway. :evil:

Ah, it took but an instant.  I'm well-trained in visually exploring pulchritude.
