MY EYES!


Never understood Barbie, or the need for ‘modern’ girls/women to aspire after a non human look.

The cheapo Chinese lights I had for the Africa Twin started playing up, should have known better and bought decent ones but...

Went with some Denali ones this time but they didn't fit onto the bracket I had so off to the workshop.

Bracket ready for alterations.

Milled to shape/size.

Made up some spacers as the hole is 10mm and the bolt required is 6mm.

Light fits perfectly

Also made another crab spike.

And then made up some wear inserts that are the new design I have come up with for the steering joints on the Cats.

I rehoused the remote panel for the new vfd. It needed to be rewired to suit the new controller so I thought I would make it a bit better by using a IP54 rated case. It just needs some labels

 

[sparkysy]

^^^^^ that's a nice neat compact solution!

Tongs finished. Might spray with VHT black paint.

Control box wired up, tested, then off.

Welded a patch over the excessively large thermocouple hole and added some 16mm bar as handles.

Sods law then started to rain, so no melting today.

Tacked.

1.6mm rods going well

Ground back thinking a second pass with 2.5mm's but I cocked it up with bad aim

Fixed but it will look poo.

Apologies - I seem to play with wood more than metal these days!
In the process of finishing this Norsaq as a birthday present for Mrs W who enjoys a bit of Greenland style kayaking.
Some info here if anyone’s interested -https://www.rebelkayaks.com/product/norsaq-2/
Hopefully she’ll be learning to roll with it rather than harpooning seals

Made a 'hi-fi' shelf. I used shellac which I wiped on. I was going to go for a dark finish similar to the bookshelf. I am still experimenting with dark finishes on pine. I used ruby dewaxed shellac for this, but it turned out pretty darn light when I appled it with a rag. The antenna arrangement is temporary.

I also nee d proper speakers, and likely a pair of shelves for them.
