Screen and Foundations

Here you can see the steel screen nearly completed thanks to great work from Tom and Philip. The brick foundation in the foreground is where the Weather Station will sit.

Weather Garden Screen

The made to measure steel screen has now been installed around the perimeter of the Weather Garden. At the moment it has a very bright and shiny galvanised surface but after an application of mordant solution it will be black/grey slate in appearance.

New Path

Work has now started on site at Flintham Museum.

Philip Selby is taking care of all the ground-works, here is the beautiful new path that he has laid to match the existing path that he laid some years ago.

Studio Visit

Site visit to the studio where members of the Flintham Society checked the progress on the Weather Station.

Weather Station Tests

My children, Nova and Sam, are the first to test the newly assembled Weather Station. They really enjoyed it and instinctively new what to do, although Nova has suggested that I install a hand rail on each side of the steps.

Assembled Weather Station

The Weather Station is now assembled and ready for the protective coating and paint to be applied.

Weather Station Structure

The steel parts of the Weather Station are finally all made. You can see in the image the base plate with a quadrant cut out (background). This quadrant has then been cut into arcs to make the series of concentric steps (foreground). The next job is to lift and assemble all the parts to make up the Weather Station.
