    I was hooked after the first minute. Subscribed in a heartbeat. What a great project! And there's a canoe-bikey-thingy to watch, too, as I saw! Going to binge for a bit, I guess.

    The conical thing is an old 1950/1960 Pyrene, soda/acid fire extinguisher. There should be a line of rivets down the side.The instructions for use said bash the brass plunger to break the acid capsule then invert to use. we had these at my old primary school in the '50's they would have been painted red originally. A collectors item now!

      Not only fire extinguisher used this shape, could be as well be an pesticide/fertilizer sprayer from 1870ish- 1930s...

    Well! A short popped up in my feed and here I am... I guess I'll be starting from the being and lol binge watching to catch up!
    Too see the creation of something new out of something from the past warms my heart! And a bonus when it's a younger generation that is taking the time to preserve the past! Bravo young man! Just for reference I'm a 65 year old woman from the USA. Preserve the past for the future! Many want to tear down and build new...such a same.

    Seeing some painted walls & the fireplace & the fancy chair - it looks as tho someone was trying to make this into a home, and the outline of the building certainly looks like a cottage rather than just a utility 'building' or a shed.

    • @ben-kilner
      @ben-kilner  7 месяцев назад +1

      It was used as a storage space by the neighbours for a long time and the local kids used to make dens in there. Before that it was a functioning stables and potting shed 👍 it is super damp in there - I got two lung infections just working in there, living would be mighty soggy 😅 damp proof membranes, ground works around the outside and new gutters should help 🤞🤞

    Ben, Looking forward to your videos as i like to restore & build gadgets myself. It‘s a fire extinguisher the bit at the bottom of the cone is the plunger and the jet at the top
    I would either chop out one side of the floor or build up the low side as it will be a constant trip hazard in a workshop when carrying larger objects. Cheers Dave

    Quite a job. Lots of junk inside and bushes outside.
    I like watching transformations and seeing all the different situations that come up during.
    As a Registered Nurse, it's always a bit hard to watch when folks forget about Masks or Safety Googles, etc. In old buildings like this wearing a mask is very important, especially as dust can have rodents feces, lead, and who knows what?
    I look forward to seeing the transition

    Nice place - green with envy here. The ancient fire extinguisher is only good for an ornament now. You had to bash the end on the floor to break a vile of acid, which mixed with the water and sodium bicarbonate mix and shot the whole contents out of the pointy end. You only got one go, and they weren't very efficient.
