(click to show/hide)What's a Henway you may ask?
About a Kilo or 2 pounds for the Imperialists among you  :-D

I asked a retired chemical engineer, if a coal shovel is for shoveling coal and a snow shovel is for shoveling snow, what is a steam shovel for?

He explained that back in his day, before pipes had been invented, steam had to be shoveled into buckets to be carried around.
