Looking for stuff.

theres a fortune in them there badges, enthusiasts would pay for original Cortina etc badges

 

[Barking Mat]

Are those your badges @selectedgrub ?

Long shot... You don't have a Roots TS3 badge in that heap by chance?

This 5/8 drill spun me around the room before snapping.
The wall is around 1-3/4" thick.
A mission to get the broken end out.

I got this PTO cover plate to cover the control board.

Still loving your attention to detail and weird imagination.

I can only assume you're a pro artist / sculptor, are these commissions or just random inventions?

I do hope that those Pasquale indicators conform to the relevant standards.
Playing fast and loose with brass conjecture plates I see, though that does provide an admirable contrast with the copper clad Nostromo bracket though.

 

[selectedgrub]

Not at all Mark, as you can see I've removed the passive conductor and over ridden the warning module.
Standards are out the window with this one.
The conjecture plates do meet, might I add "just" all current 4610 standards.

Thanks Not a pro at all mate.
It was just for a show but the future of that is in the air. No pun intended.
This one I am keeping myself.

Thanks for looking, the comments and joining in the fun.

So I got busy with the lens arm.
Plan to have 2 x Gamma ray (class V) filters and 1 magnifier.

I'm not happy with so much exposed alloy on the slide.
It may cross fuse
Will use conjecture plates and cover the more exposed areas.

There is something otherworldly about your creations. At a glance, they look familiar, almost plausible, taken from some time gone by. But they aren't, they aren't how anyone would have designed a thing of use here, even ages ago, yet they look like they could have been. It's a weird contradiction I'm struggling to explain but love it.

 

[MysterG]

I'd love to have a rummage through your stock pile, you seem to have so much interesting stuff to repurpose

 

[slim_boy_fat]

'd love to have a rummage through your stock pile,

You're assuming he has one - maybe he operates on the 'just in time' principle, using stuff as it comes to him [I'm sure you're right though, perhaps @selectedgrub will elaborate - even with a pic or two of the 'pile'?]

 

[selectedgrub]

Yes I do have a few small boxes of interesting stuff.
They are in crates, I try not to go too deep as I end up getting distracted from the current project.
Pretty sure I could dig some out and snap some pictures if your really interested.

I'm sure with your imagination Mr G. there would be something of interest.

Thanks for your nice comment.
I think you may of stumbled onto one of the ways to describe this art when done "properly".

Tidy up lens arm

 

[selectedgrub]

Cut out the discs for the lenses.

 

[Mark 2]

A bit tight for space on the Ardern flaps, perhaps a re route with some Van Nistelrooy booster hoses?

 

[MysterG]

It's just dawned on me that @selectedgrub and @Mark 2 are both talking a load of rubbish and this thing won't actually do anything

I mean it's obvious to even a layman that the Staedtler field will collapse within seconds of powering it up, and you'll want to be a long way away when that happens

 

[arther dailey]

gotta have a laugh eh

 

[selectedgrub]

But Mr G, It is my sole intention to break down the Staedtler field.
The Radon that the "collapse" will produce, mixed with the minute traces of Thorium I have procured will produce some very stable isotopes.
I won't be a long way from it when it reacts, I do have a lead apron.
Also I am well aware of the carcinogenesis properties that dabbling in this produces.

Yes, I have a few meters left and fully intend to tidy it up a bit.
