Stuff you have made today

[Barking Mat]

Finished off the slab yolks today, countersunk, bored and tapped for the clamping screws and then cut the slot in the bandsaw. Luckily I had the foresight to design the slot at 60 degrees to the base which made setting up in both the mill and bandsaw easy with a 90/60/30 set square (I hate I have to say that as it is obviously a triangle and not a square )

Also knocked up a set of creepers from an old 2" prop shaft and some 16mm round bar.

Creepers ? What are they used for ?

It's a shame he didn't want some meat rebated and styled out of those trees.
Even some stepped edges maybe.
Just lumps of souless plate. No offence to you hood

Like these? Cannot remember what they were for apart from it was some racebike

 

[selectedgrub]

Now your talking.

 

[Hood]

I agree but he is the one paying the money so he gets what he wants.

That is similar shape to what he has at the moment so obviously wanting a chunkier look

I hope he hasn't cocked up the offset!

 

[Hood]

He will have but it is a custom thing and nobody rides them, they are for show

And the angle between the stem and the fork legs .

Made a start on welding up the tailboard. Even with everything clamped up and shifting from one side to another I have put a 2.5 mm bow centre outwards and its really annoying me.

and its really annoying me.

Better to be annoyed by it, than try rectifying it & screwing it up completely. That attempt at a final tweak is usually the "b0llocks" moment.

Yer. I will attempt to run some short beads of weld on the opposite side and try pull it back a little.

When you weld your fillets it might pull
Back some

Down the pub tomorrow for my regular meal out with some friends, so I thought I'd make myself a lapel badge

Tempting to cut the infills a mm or so smaller to ease putting together, but better to have them a tight fit so they don't shrink back as much.

Boat load of jacketed pipework tacked up over the last few days.
All 316 in and out, with ILC unions.
Bends, tees, straights, s-bends.

The infills I file fitted so everything was spot on. I expected some distortion. Will have a look tomorrow and see what I can do.
