Ashpan

Thankfully the weather has cooled off a bit which makes workshop work much more pleasant!

The Britannia's boiler was set up in the mill to drill and tap some holes in the foundation ring to hold the ashpan onto the bottom of the boiler.  The bolt holes in the ashpan were thought out as to where to fit them clearing some cross drilled holes through the foundation ring and being out of view as much as possible.

Some brackets were made and bolted to the milling machine table which I could attach ratchet straps to. A very good way of holding strange shapes!
