Good of you to own up.

How rude.

A farm sign, was actually last week.

 

[Kram]

Cocked up my cruicible tongs. Being left/both handed, but adapted to right handed stuff, I hate lefty designed tools.Stuck the bloody handle on upside down.

Next to work out the pivot and closing handle.

Feel Im starting to get the hang of stick welding. It really helps to be in the upper range amps. These were with 1.6mm's rods at 60A, 2mm sheet.

An on going project. Need to get some bits cast. Had planned on lost PLA casting,but none of the three foundries I spoke to were overly keen. So scaled up the drawing and made a model that I can get lost wax cast instead.

Fed up with working 'against my left hand' and having little room when adjusting the spindle height on my Amolco, I found a bolt with the same thread and started to make a modification. Have gone from this....

via this...

to this...

Turned from a piece of Delrin to gauge 'proof of concept' and it'll work I think [only 'jury-rigged' at the moment]. I'll Araldite it in and if it works I may turn a new knob/handle from steel or aluminium in due course.

Foolishly, I decided to try my new knurling tool [just to see ] but because the chuck had very little to grip due to diameter, and Delrin is 'slippery', when I started knurling the Delrin worked its way out......
I supposed I could have used a tailstock or conventional steady but it was getting late, I didn't want a hole in the end, I had cold feet and as said it's only a mock-up.

Actually I'd prefer it in ali, but we'll see.

Some link rods for a Ferguson seed drill,slotted on my old Victoria mill,Christ that things built heavy?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I stopped by a friend, who I knew from a MIS.
He has a new toy.
Lazer wood engraver.

So I had a play.

I hate stained glass,but this customer was adamant she wanted this one displayed,I’ve got to hang it in her alcove.

 

[Anguz]

Got a bit of tube from @Onoff the other week
Bit of welding.. bit of boring for the bearings. And a bit of silver steel later..

Not got a dividing head, so next best thing.
Will spin it with a battery drill

Have I said how much I dislike en3b mild steel, or atleast this length. I mistakenly thought I'd use some up. Thats two points gone in a couple days

Instead used some en16m, which has sulphur, unsure if it would weld ok. Mixed results! The pivot arm on left was a pain, initially lots of voids.

The holes I initially drilled were way off so quite pleased the bush welded ok and alignment good enough.

I made a cake.

 

[God mode restorations]

A follow up from my lorry build. The rear beam and uprights are complete. Made a start on the tailboard. 5 shoots on this instead of the usual 3. I am not happy with the original tailboard locking bar so will design my own. That's about as far as its got.

I made a cake.

And ate it before you could take a picture?

 

[My Old Landy]

I made a little roof for the new VFD as I suspect it was moisture dripping from the roof that killed the other one. I have fixed the moisture issue but I am not taking any chances until I can get enclosures for all three VFD's
and no, I have not wired it in yet, give me a chance

 

[MysterG]

Further to my post about hitting my thumb with a hammer whilst stamping letters, I made this today.
Old screwdriver with broken off end, a nut & bolt and bit of square tube.

 

[tom2207]

replaced the tube part of a freelanders rear subframe ,, not exciting , and repaired the rear door lock on an original v8 snatch lr ,,,
Ill take some pics next time Im at it for anyone whos interested .

If I ate all this cake I would wake up naked in a hayfield 3 days later with cows licking me.

 

[Kram]

Tongs in a useable state. There will be changes but may aswell try them first.

Chopped a few peices for a tool holder. Im not going to use these angle bits I cut some others. This one Im planning to arc weld instead of tig.

That does not require a photo
