I'd cut it and rejoint it, if done well you'd never know

Router or biscuit cutter should do it?

EDIT: Just seen the OP's post re tool availability so scrub this.

Dowels may be easier dont need a special tool just a drill but don't ask me how to get it alinged

Verrrry careful measuring/marking/drilling..... Probably have to make a jig of some sort.

I think I'll just live with it as-is

Playing with my new toy: today I took the first couple of steps down what I suspect is going to be a very deep rabbit hole:

Grey is PLA, green is PETG - as you can see from the flat pieces, my first attempt at PETG was less than perfect, but it was easily fixed. I don't expect to use PLA much again, but it seemed sensible to start with it as it came with the printer kit.

Security bar for the inside of a pair of shop doors.

Acquired a slab of Ash very cheap as it was warped and cracking at the ends. Cut and sanded, some screws in the ends to arrest any further cracking, and oiled. It's to be a general purpose clothing shelf where flatness isn't important, but it should look cool

Also marked and cut some stainless sheets to fold up into firepit ash trays.

This is the only example I have left, this was warped, so I cut it and jointed it.

There is a join in this.



Think I made this when I was 16

You may as well just take a fat kid to a sweetshop, @Hood.

I bent up some 60mm x 5mm stainless today as inserts for it, it reduces the width of the V to about 25mm from the 33 as delivered, it lets you bend a tighter radius on thinner stuff and also lets you bend shorter distances between bends. Might even make more up to reduce the V width more.

I still have to dress off the tops of them.

!!!!!!! YOU TWO have got me thinking about one of these now

 

[RichardM]

Really like that! I looked and thought how...it's a field gun...

Loosely based on a Pak40. I may alter the wheels to straight spoke when I get some "spare" time, I think I will be able to mill them on the rotary table relatively easily (better than filing it all out).

Any way of locking it in place?

 

[nickk]

No ,she didn’t want anything too complicated,just push resistance.

We had internal shutters on our Victorian house in Wantage, they had a beautifully simply locking bar mechanism, it made me smile when I closed them at night.

Bent up some more copper flashing for my ongoing roof project:


Getting there, Weather has screwed me really.

Real fabricators look away now. I am going to do myself a favour and just scrap this and do it again, yes, it is on the wonk, housing for the new controller, I was quite pleased with the welding!:
