I did not let a heavy shower stop me. Waterproofing has been considered! I did add a weighted tarp after... It was starting to glow and just as I was about to add metal in the pot.

I did intend to add another two peices 500g worth, but for some unexplained reason the house RCD tripped, but then was fine after resetting Landlord was not happy, even though it was only off 20 seconds.

Fell out the tube nicely, quite happy with the result. Plan to turn this first, and might cross section to get an idea of porosity.

Was a busy day on Saturday, we started making some big sliding door frames and also cutting and folding 24 2mm sheets into various shapes for a customer. Hopefully get the folding finished tonight as sheetmetal takes up a lot of space!
I also made some nifty weld in bosses for the top of the doors, they were welded in and then tapped to M16 for the sliders to screw into. Love a bit of over engineering.

More simple swarf producing things. Accessories for the espresso m/c made between watching the 6 nations over the weekend.

Last weeks attempt to fill the workshop with wood dust . Gun work stand .

No long term projects anymore . Until the next fit of enthusiasm.

Some windows with forged components,just got the casement hooks to make now.

Got a nice rount tuit this evening:


My wire EDM hasn't materialised yet so I did it the old fashioned way, with square drill bits.

I've had a disc stuck on my 9" grinder for about two years, I very rarely use it but when I do it's cutting concrete, with water to keep the dust down, so no wonder it seized. Bent the original spanner, couldn't get a good hold with mole grips and a punch and hammer was too awkward do while holding the spindle lock.


Spun it off in seconds.

Definitely less collateral damage compared to the chisel+hammer way.

Jeepers, why not just put the disc in the vice, hammer and pin punch, bin the disc?

Yep, hard work in en24t.

Didn't think of it.

There's tight and then there's properly tight.
When the disc in the vice breaks into pieces i've had to cut the nut off with a 4 1/2" grinder

When you've perfected casting brass I'll have a commission for you. Hopefully I'll be able to supply a suitable mould...

I've just put the nut in the vice and rotated the grinder
