Ep 20 - Paint, Iron and Solo Timber Frame Construction

We've got a lot going on today! Engine number two is getting painted, sprung and wheeled; along the way we discuss and fix cast crown brasses that have come loose in the driving box. Later we rush to build a 16' x 25' timber frame engine-house before winter shuts us down!
