Stuff you have made today

[Hitch]

I know how much you all love something that's been turned into a lamp...

Had a failed DN80 globe valve kicking about, so a burnish, and with a bit of 4" pipe cut and shaped bolted on...

Is it artisan though?...

Is that a ring of springs for bearing preload? I really like that.

Now might not be the time to mention wave springs . . .

It's OK, gave me some peace and quiet making it - now the labyrinth seals on the other hand had to grind three HSS bits as they snapped at the least provocation!

Most definitely!

I wouldn't normally say anything but if it makes you feel better, I still hate it.

Yesterday I was working on a 737 fuselage (Death to all 737s!) that we chopped up to make into a temporary 'Diner' for a Stately Home. I had to trim down the Lav door from a 747 to fit the hole in a 737 bog unit. Strange smell from the wood/alloy door as I was cutting it. I hope everyone else had a more enjoyable day at work than me!

Would love to see pics of this diner when done.


Hold your breath and hope it doesn't drop.
