Thanks gents, it`s going to be a long winter, may have to build a new house to put it all in. :)

Walking into your place was like walking into my dream house Lenn ;) Loved how it was filled with all your creations 8)

Love those irons, and the boards looks great.
When i was a child, we had a commercially made drying rack, very much like the one you´ve built...if not completely.

Post by: Pitchy on October 18, 2019, 02:08:03 pm: Yep they`er neat but most of them are so plugged up ya can`t get them to run, i did get the Coleman to sorta run.

Post by: Pitchy on October 18, 2019, 01:52:31 pm: Thanks Nick that would of been a cool one, i have a white gas iron also not pictured it`s a Coleman.
Title: Re: Irons and Boards
Post by: Nick on October 18, 2019, 01:47:57 pm: Very nice looking boards 8) I once seen an old steam iron at a gun show that was made by Empire (same as the toy steam engine), with a boiler mounted on the side that looked just like their horizontal toy engine boilers. Kind of wish I would have bought it now...

Post by: Pitchy on October 18, 2019, 01:37:42 pm: Made a couple ironing boards and bought a few old irons, two are coal fired and the middle one is propane fired and one little electric that`s on the sleeve board which we made also..
