Stuff you have made today

[Munkul]

Sounds like complete nonsense to me, have had motors mounted on plywood for nearly a decade without problems... Such a thing as washers.

ok, no worries, I've never done it and never would either, but as long as it works for you.

I'd have to agree with you in this instance, for use driving a compressor - I could see it coming loose quite quickly once running and vibrating nicely, simply from compressing (no pun intended) the wood, even with big washers.

Hopefully an update once it's run for a while so we can be proven right or wrong . .

I seem to have the pigeons today First attempt with stainless sticks.. my test beads came out nice and shiny.

Saucepan repair. Alu rivets removed. And tried to stick from the inside, out, to my new handle. Seems to have got plenty of slag, cracks and leaks.

The outside no better. First bead along bottom was ok, the rest just slaag.
Its for chemicals, not food.
Tomorrow I will chop that off and patch the bad section. Is there any issue joining 400 magnetic, to 316, with 308 rods?


Running out of time, stuck the circle and strip that I cut last night. 3rd tack moved and left a huge gap, and at that point I did the rest as fast as possible. It will be adequate for the task as a plaster form. It needed vent holes anyway and saves me drilling them.

Picnic table is pretty much done, just needs sanding and painting, not sure what with yet.



It's "Upcycled" from old pallets, all it cost was a box of screws.

Need to make a BBQ now, a garden table is pretty useless without one.

A tired old garden table now has a bit more life left in it.

It's made from offcuts of different hardwoods, from what I can see. The original finish seems to have been a brown stain. I think that it looks a lot better now with a good sanding and a coat of linseed.

A few more coats will bring it up a treat.

Stand the feet in a container of Linseed and let it soak up the legs. It slows the rot down.

I made a small panel up today to hold a temperature controller, feedback lamp and EStop. The square was filed by hand. I countersunk the holes to try and get the rivnuts flush but it didn't work particularly well

That's the way; Sh*te excuse time.

It's had a fair soaking, but it also has adjustable feet, so the wood is never in direct contact, only splash.

Raided the scrap box to make this today:



So I could take this apart to check the bearings, clean, re-grease and rebuild.

I have also done some sanding today.

Danish Oil natural is the finish.

Holesaw put a nice enough hole through the top, I just need to get the die grinder in there with a flap wheel to smooth the grain.

Two new made to measure hoses and a new water filter installed. The first 3/4 BSP goes from the receiver..

Through a wall and to the dryer, which is just a chiller, in the loft space above my office.

Then another shorter hose back through the wall.

To the regulator and the new condenser. Once chilled the water should drop out easily. The red tap feeds a row of PCL connectors hanging off of 15mm copper pipe down one side of the workdhop I installed a while ago. The green tap will feed another row down the other side of the workshop, I'll do that tomorrow.

I tested it using the ultrasonic leak detector mentioned by @awemawson

Its looking good, only one joint needed a tweak.

Just need to finish off the PCL connectors and tie in all the hoses.

Cheers
Andy

On site helping the pipe lads with a bit of fabrication this week..
The tanks I posted a week or so ago are now in place, new walkway /platform in place, and now in the process of being piped/wired.

some inspiration for @Maker home brew setup?

 

[Tupers]

I’ve got another big marble run to make so after doing some highly accurate scribbles I got a helter skelter section and some other pieces tigged together and polished.

Don't think I'm quite at the scale of needing gangways yet, but a conical tank would be nice...

Not today but over the last few weeks.

Should Just about be ready for a weekends playtime.

I turned a raised bed into a small greenhouse, with pallet wood left over from the table, and bubble wrap that would otherwise have been thrown out, so also free.

Last couple days repairing this gate from a listed property nearby. Wrought iron has weathered to the point of snapping the bottom and the scrolls had all rusted through.

Cut all the rot out


Made up nine scrolls and eleven of the rings and built a new frame, all welded in.

Uprights welded in

And the scrolls and rings all tacked in

All ground back and painted now ready for refitting tomorrow.
