Can't do that, then I'd not be able to see the things you make. Keep 'em coming
I've yet to ignore/block another Member for their posts because I'm offended/annoyed/outraged/(insert alternatives here
) by them. Life's too short for that.That's not to say I've not been 'ignored' by others of course.....

Today's little job: Make up a slide hammer to extract a bearing seal from a JCB 3CX front differential pinion shaft. Yesterdays efforts to remove this reluctant seal resulted in a broken 'seal remover' so time to make something a little more stout.
6 mm silver steel bent red hot into a hook, and threaded M6 into the end of a 7/16" bar the far end of which I welded a random 'bar end' as a stop. The sliding hammer being another 'bar end' drilled 1/2"

So today's job is lose 150 euros while performing an SDS max hammer drill repair.
100 euros in parts (paid from the customer)
50 euros for my work .
Made a miserable mistake while assembling it
Destroying ball bearings ,their seats, gears, armature and motor housing.
It was going everything alright , but I've eard the characteristic sounds of broken metal , discovered the mistake .
Not what I was thinking and called the customer informing him that he will get his money and the hammer back, because it's not cost effective to repair.
(Anymore)
I've destroyed it in a split second without even be aware of what was happening.
Things that happens .
As you might understand today's not a great day

Made my aux lights on the Africa Twin work as I wanted them to.
Daytime they will be at 100%
Night time when on dip they will be at 10% brightness and when on main beam they will be 100%
That is all controlled via the Hex ezCAN which I got fitted today.
Stripped off the plastics and tank.
Lengthened the aux light wires, plugged in the ezCAN to the IMU and ran all the wires to where I wanted.
Then wired the lights to the ezCAN and found a nice spot for it and fixed it down with the supplied velcro.

Only if it is the full fat version, none of this sugar free crap for me.

I lashed up a fixture to drill a ring of angled, convergent holes.
Worked a treat, I cut the disc out a month ago but couldn't figure out how to drill the holes until now. I'll reveal what it's for once I've machined the rest of it.

Are the holes all the same diameter?

Got the last bit of the right peg set up and milled.
Put it on the AFRICA Twin to see if it fitted and it did
It feels good but I will give it a bit more testing and if I still like it I will order up some 2" bar and make a couple of one piece ones up.
