So after the loom and tank work, we carried on with various tasks, most ably led by @Nickwheeler who is a bit like a blood hound, once he cranks his head over and forward, only coffee and cookies or raisin bread slows him down.

At this point the body had to go back on again for the next job.
More about it later.
Work now.
