Control box, stripped the annodise and assembled with M2 screws but yet to affix the m2 nuts inside. I think Im going to regret it so may order a load of m3's.
I forgot to try stripping the marker off with NaOH.

Dishing stump.
I've been meaning to have a go at this for a while. The video explains all.
A lump of tree out of my rapidly diminishing wood pile. Marked up with a four inch circle. Drilled two inches deep.
A bit more drilling and chiselling later gets me here. It still needs smoothing out a bit more really, but this job follows the 80/20 rule. The last bit to make it nice will be 80% of the effort. The idea is that the sheet metal is knocked into the void. The inner surface isn't a pattern or mould so as long as there is clearance it doesn't really matter what state it's in.
Bit of scrap sheet from other experiments.
About four minutes bashing with a hammer. I think the ball pein end of the hammer was a bit small. I would have liked a bigger radius on the tool, but it worked out nicely for a first go.
From start to finish I think it took me 80 minutes, tops. Definitely worth having a go.
I want a bigger stump now.

After the rollers, the stainless steel sheet is under great stress. I would anneal the sheet to straw color, before and after forging in a mortar

For real welding of cast iron with cast iron electrodes (not brass and nickel), I will take acetylene and oxygen in cylinders. Everything is adult.
Used large diameter cast iron compression rings work well.
It's just mild steel. I like it. It is nice and soft to work with, unlike stainless.

Full version
It is good to have a box with spare parts, needed maybe once in a lifetime.

You could sell it very easily. In fact, it would be money for old rope.

If I could find a regular supply of decent rope I would.
