[Blobber]

Heating oil savers, all the knotty hard to split stuff that had the side branches made into smaller easier to split chunks with the chainsaw, might just be able to eek the oil out till spring!

Coat rack finished, apart from making 20 odd hooks, that’s the last time I’ll see it now.

Spot the mistake?

Fixings above the light switch?

Fixings above the light switch?

Yup. Can’t see anything heavy going there so it’ll see some adhesive and I’ll bung a plug in like the others and annoy every visiting electrician

Day off and lousy outside, so faffed about in the shed.

OK it's not much and not exotic/clever - but I knocked up a thick worktop for my wee rollcab toolbox out of 10 sections of 45x45mm timber glued and screwed together, and then topped with some galv sheet.

It'll be handy to use the rollcab to plonk things on in the middle of my small workshed floor to work on, or of course to roll it outside.

Made a start on another metal origami project.

While messing about with melter I did a round tuit on lathe and made up 6 pins for dinse 10-25 plugs to be brazed on. Then stuck the 3 I can find with silver solder.

I dont have any original 10-25's so not sure what size the pin should be turned to, 4 or 5mm square is probably ok.

I rather like that. Simple and effective.

Good effort, I bet the cost of material was similar to buying ones off the shelf

I only ever see single shoes at the side of the road.

Now that the crap weather has passed I was able to do a bit. Got the shoots done. Made a start on the handles.

 

[Hood]

Few of todays jobs,
2" BSP thread to be welded onto the top of a water tank.

Welded up a mast from bits I cut and bent last week.

Couple of speaker boxes for under a shelter deck.

Don't weld it on with the magnet in place are all the chamfers done by hand? The way everything lines up next to that g clamp is almost pornographic

Magnet is just to hold it in place so I can step back to get a visual. Everything is done by hand. All I use is a 0.8 cutting disc. Flap wheel and files.
