Stuff you have made today

[Maker]

I have some BSW taps here @Maker, what size do you need?

3/8"-16 and 5/16"-18 if you're got them?

Later yesterday evening I've woken up my engine driven for a job.
Check levels , little clean up , started on the second pull (as normally)
Boss asked me to lend it for little use as power generator for small tools like a grinder and a drill

" Be careful about doing this. " If its once in awhile, that may be ok, but take your generator home with you after the odd job its needed for; or as time goes by, the generator will taken for granted as being part of the shop equipment. If your Boss "needs" a generator for the business he should buy his own, otherwise you are subsidising the business.

Exactly this. And,when it’s worn out from company use, it’s unlikely your boss will be replacing yours, he will go and buy one for his company….

I've warned him about this before. I reckon these young lads have to learn things the hard way....

Now that's a cool looking plane

*edit

Damn dual gas turbines powering the props with just shy of 3000hp...would be fun to put in a car

Sadly it's not anymore.

We rebuilt that one from wrecks that were being used for Fire and Rescue training. It sat as a Gate Guardian at Lossiemouth for a while but it's now in Errol, Perthshire looking a little the worse for wear.

Tell him you can buy tools that run on batteries nowadays so the generator is not needed

That's how we all learnt.

No good deed goes unpunished..

I take it that it was considerably quieter than a Thunderscreech ?

I just had to Google that, and yes, it was!

I am not really happy with it too

But I didn't really find a good alternative.
I have no tooling for Countersunk screws in Wood. And they need to be done far more precisely then my Woodworking skills allow

Screws with ultra thin Heads like BN9524 are not available in the moment or at all in dimensions like M8x25.

Maybe I will give threaded Inserts (DIN 7965) a try but I do not have confidence that the wood will not crack.

Lens flange screw ( I am not shure if thats the correct english Term) DIN EN ISO 7380-2 would have a Headsize similar to



but are less annoying to use. (If the security aspect isn't necessary).

Anyone with a brilliant Idea?

Use a cheap Aldi or Lidl stepped cone cutter , do a test on some predrilled scrap wood then use a black marker pen to make a ring on the step above to get a consistent depth .................. like this eBay item 353201569116

To erase the washer marks, trying ironing a damp cloth over the area. It should swell the wood and raise it.

or a wet cloth and a big hot unplugged soldering iron on the top for the odd scraped groove.

Other members on here seem to get a hell of a lot done in a day, this simple looking hinge has taken me bloody ages.

Next to fill the lid insulation, turn a pair of spacers, and chop down the excess plate.
The lid is slightly smaller dia than the bottom half, giving an annoying step.

Handle .... ? A single cranked tube at back above hinge that is almost vertical when closed or from the front or side , will it open without danger off causing the melter to tip back towards the hinge . It's some thing I'm pondering on for my gas fired melter .

Not interesting to do. But profitable.

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

Spot the mistake?

I like the to be hidden light switch ..that will confuse the burglars . Lucky you didn't drill the switch cable it looks a pretty close thing even if you did use a cable locator. Are s the bottom two rails for hiding hats

Will have a look later this morning

Hi @Maker i have a 5/16 1st & plug tap and a 3/8 2nd tap. They are but should suffice if you wish to borrow them. Happy to pop them in a jiffy bag tomorrow, just post them back when you have done (assuming they survive!).

Pm me your address if they are of any use.
