Stuff you have made today

Might have missed it but what make is the lathe?

Clarke cl300m, one of many clones of the seig lathes

 

[Kram]

Second test. Ignore the dark bits, it was a failed attempt using clay to retain the element better. Insulation was loose powder, it needs a few changes still. The pop was just a bit of wet clay/steam exploding.

What is the insulation?

 

[Kram]

Perlite which I'll add sodium sillicate binder, when Im ready to make it permanent. It is very much like a sillica version of polystyrene.

 

[Anguz]

Perlite, same as the garden version?

 

[Sergei Slovenija]

A small improvement based on past experience. Added stainless chain handle to the skewer. While my colleague occupied the entire workbench, I quickly made a prototype

Yes same stuff, not too nice to work with as its very dusty, but it makes excellent insulation

Very nice, rather aesthetically pleasing.

Also we know you though about pretending it was a sword for a minute and duelling

The chain dissipates heat more efficiently (heat labyrinth) if the coals are close to the handle. And easy to clean with such a thickness.

A real sword has little in common with this toothpick.

Hand mix.

You'd like a 3D printer.

 

[roblane65]

Well actually ! guess what the list of what I'd like is endless .

 

[Kram]

Mixed the bottom insulation and thinking how to make the control box. Might start the element form again or do differently.

Got a breadmaker for Xmas. Wasn't sure I would like it as I have always enjoyed "hands on" breadmaking. But I can't see not having one now, fresh bread whenever you want with minimum fuss. Haven't bought a shop loaf yet and probably won't for a long time. If you like chilli, jalapeño and cheese is delicious

Today I destructively erased another million Data CDs with the domestic Microwave - this batch dating back to 2003! I also removed the hard drives from a batch of 8 desk top Compac PCs and squashed them in the 60 ton press (read those if you can!) - the PCs are going to a charity in Zanzibar.
. . . the clear out continues !
