We had our Finch Foundry Start of Season meeting for staff and volunteers yesterday – lots of new faces – welcome everyone.
Here is Ben the Foundry Manager running through the agenda
Behind the scenes various repairs to the machinery and waterwheels are taking place – these bolts have rusted through on the hammer waterwheel
They are being replaced with some new stainless steel ones
Specially manufactured for Finch Foundry in Exeter
Eddie one of our building team has been working on the water wheels and in this picture he has inserted some wedges to help the wheel run true
Finch Foundry opens for the season on the 14th March
