On Sunday 19th April, Steaming on the Downs Inc. held it's first monthly copper boiler making workshop for members who are either working on a copper boiler project, or just planning one, to come together and pool knowledge and resources.
After an initial meeting to scope out projects we made a start with significant progress made on forming component and design discussion throughout the day. 15 members were in attendance including 4 AMBSC inspectors. Unfortunately we didn't get too many photos, we were all too busy!
These will be held monthly moving forward and in time we will make these workshops open to members from outside of our club, after all, preserving the skills and building the knowledge of heritage activities like copper boiler making is for all of us.
