Stuff you have made today

[Barking Mat]

Bit more today, had other things to do.

Nearly there...

During the night the cat has added its signature to the step, adds character.

At least no rodents.

Today I've made two lines appear on a LFT.
Great.
Go directly home. Do not go to the workshop. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200.

What is an LFT?

Accutate enough for heat treating and hot enough to melt brass? This will be worth seeing.

I hope so, others have done similar. VOG uses a simlar one with brass, good videos, he is respecting the UK plug current limits, only taking 10 amps, so I should have more than enough power at 15A, if the elements survive.

My clay pot has dried down to 15% moisture on the surface, will start heating it tomorrow with the element.
I ran out of perlite insulation so ordered a huge 100L bag and 20L of sodium silicate binder.

I was wondering the same. Judging by a later post: lateral flow test.

Lateral flow test.

 

[Munkul]

Bingo.
Got a proper test booked for tomorrow.

Not really a made but I got the correct plug put onto extraction unit of our blasting cabinet and tried it out today.
I need to get something coarser than the 74-149 micron glass that’s in it at the minute as it takes a while to get through rust but it does to well on aluminium.

Went round to a friends this morning to finish off some work for them. SWMBO out with them this afternoon, only to arrive home early as one of them was feeling unwell, sounds like Omicron. Waiting for the call to say if lft is positive, just what I need when trying to strip out our office for the decorators - I can only do 2 hours morning and afternoon, any more and I'm wrecked for a couple of days.

I made some stand for a computer which is only used to see which aircraft is going to be at what time at which location. It's only used briefly, to check, and will standing on a table top so it's only used by people standing.

Now, they asked me if I could make a cupboard out of wood........ Eh, no, I use wood to feed my oven, just to be cosy and warm!
I'm so sorry, but I cannot work my way around with wood and I admire and respect craftsman who can. Sometimes I've got wood though.......

Well here it is, hope the managing thing's like it enough to keep it.
All made out of scrapped/what's around metal.
By the way; the keyboard and mouse pad are made of wood (trying to show off I can handle a circular wood saw machine) ........ Maybe I will weld a nice piece metal in there instead!

What if the operator's left-handed?

What if the operator's left-handed?

Stan on thir heid.

 

[Menno Bruinen]

And left handers are smarter...... No need for a computer. If they do, well, go figure smarty!

 

[awemawson]

At least one in seven people are left handed.

 

[Hood]

For most things I can use both so does that make me extra perfect or just weird

 

[pcwizme]

Im a lefty, but at school while learning to use a computer the mice was on the right so I learnt to do it that way, its a standard now for mice to be used in the right hand, does mean I can type and mouse at the same time when I need to!

 

[slim_boy_fat]

or just weird

Aye.....

No nothing that exotic, it’s from a 1275 Maestro.

 

[Anguz]

You own the maestro?

Not any more it had a bump so I broke it and put the engine in an Austin 1300 Countryman.
