thought i's post a few pictures of the bits i have been doing lately
firstly is a fence i knocked up. base is 40x40x4mm uprights are 40x7mm flat same as top. bars are 16mm solid round bar. plus the decrative acorns.my nextdoor neighbour brought them home with him 7 in all. the were 1500 high x 2000 wide. uive just cut them down an rewelded to the box, added 400mm either side . its gonna be for the wall to stop the little 'un trying to jump off the wall when hes a bit older. plus i will be adding a gate and painting. and i know one of the bars is wonky, 3rd or 4th from the right. i will be cutting that and re welding in the right place
next up are a couple of tow things that a mate wanted making. there made from 16mm plate, 170mm wide x 100mm the steel bar is 30mm in diameter. both uprights were bevelled to 30 degrees and welded. the 30mm bar was pushed through pre drilled holes 30mm and fully welded. took approximatley 3hours from start to finish. there are for attasching to the bumpers on my mates defender incase he gets stuck in the mud and needs towing out ignore the spatter as the welder i was using is only 170 amp and i couldnt get the arc welder out as some one hasd nicked my extension lead.
next is one of thosepress benders. again i used 16mm steel plate with m24 threaded rod. took me about an hour. made it to bend 3mm plate and it dous it with ease. i am in the process of turning down some 30mm round bar to fit the holes cut in the 50mm round bar used for the runners. plus am getting some springs and making it so i can use it on our hydrolic press. i ground the blade to approximatley 60 degrees tried it out as you can see on the small bit of 3mm bar i had on hand. again ignore the spatter please
i took a few pictures of a die i had to repair today. it had a crack in it as some numpty dropped it. not me. its a die used for forming pipe. its quite hard to explain but that took forever as i had to warm it up with a crappy butaine torch. v'd it and welded it then i had to grind it and polish it because i couldnt get it steady in the chuck of the lathe. tokk about 2hours to grind and polish it because it had to be near perfect as possible. i got it within 0.3 of a mm wich is fine. saved them approx 1500 quid on getting a new one or about 200 quid to get it done offsite. picture is inside edge of the die. this was the most important bit to get right as it creates a seal against the heaters and screw.
as you can see its not a massive crack but it was 70mm long
hope you enjoy
