Stuff you have made today

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Well finished today.
Just added more oil to the top.

Everything was "Aquied" from dead things.

The corner plates are from a riveted Galv water tank. They are MIG onto the frame.
The fram was from a dead TV stand and a dead fish tank stand.

The wood was a French wine box.

The battery is from a dead Fire alarm, the brush was from a donnation, as was the pencil. The wire wool from a dead survial tin. The red box from a member on here.

Hopefully the Member on here wasn't dead also ?

This afternoon I started prep for the new garage roof .

nearly 17m of 6" x 1" pse for facia two coats of SF's finest no nonsense primer u/coat and finally got round to unloading the 5 sheets of 18 mm ply that have been in storage in the back of my van for way toooo long ( bargain buy of FB £120 )

just one coat on what will be the underside , and as sods law states as soon as i started the wind picked up and stayed all afternoon
start ripping the old roof tomorrow , hope the rain stays away.
I'm not looking forward to the s***e that's gonna be in the garage when I'm done , it's chip board under the felt and it's 90% mush .

An extension to a handrail - it looks a bit odd as photographed but is ok in the flesh; the first flight of steps had an old handrail but the customer decided they wanted it extending up the second flight after someone fell off during an open garden event…

I made progress on tidying the workshop, first 60 drawers labelled and filled and made a start on the next set of 60.

I'm taking my time and sorting stuff into the drawers, it makes it so much easier to find stuff. If I'm working I do a couple of drawers a day while I'm having a brew.

Just got about 150 to go, plus sort out all the raaco.......

Technically yesterday but about 500 bales, with its new bale length roller the baler was almost perfect apart from an initial 10 bunny bales until it was tweaked

Raptor day.

So, all the drawers were sanded and coated with a 2K epoxy primer. Two types of Raptor polyurea coating were tested. Spray-packed on the top of the chest and applied with a roller on the shelves (package in a bottle). I covered half of one shelf with a homemade compound (adding 10% UHMWPE-g graft powder). After the final polymerization, I expect the effect of "sandpaper" and increased abrasive resistance. 2K polyurea itself is strong, we will strengthen it with a polymer from another opera. The spray is very foamy, and the can was barely enough for an area of less than 0.8 m2. I will repaint and increase the thickness of the layer, using a roller, with a Raptor for manual application.

3 coats later. Its taken some covering. Perhaps I won’t leave it 10 years next time. “Just” the walls now. The missus can so them as I don’t have the patience for cutting in

Today I mostly poked an exhaust through a shed.

Made it up from 316, plasma’d the plate, tigged up a storm then acid passivited it.

Went to site to fit it.

Excuse pic heavy post

Made the brackets recently and found a 9ft x 1ft × 1" recycled plank which cleaned up nicely and a decent paint job with oil based made it all good, the bookends are fixed but add to the look, now all fitted in places with raw bolts so should be good for 250 kgs

A hawk. Saw my ali one the other day but where...

Wanting to put some render on a strip of wall in the garage I needed it. It may well be in there but it's in pitch darkness at the mo as all the power's disconnected. I need to render so I can put the light switch back on in its new position...then I can hopefully find my proper one.

The chest/workbench is 99% complete. Everything is painted, it remains to collect. Shabby wooden triangles with holes (for conical instruments) need renovation. Fabric, such as "artificial grass" I have not yet come across in stores to replace it. Or I'll make new ones if a good piece of glued wood (laminate, like marine plywood) comes along. The old design is not an icon. The roughness of the Raptor coating with the addition of UHMWPE-g turned out to be quite good to the touch. I'll see what strength the polyurethane coating will have after 7 days. I used to mix up and the Raptor is not polyurea, which is a pity.

In my opinion, the base is ready.


A place to store junk, suitable for work. I did not straighten a small dent on the threshold (double closed box in section), I will leave scars as a keepsake. For the same reason, I did not use putty. Let the next owner mess with it.

The padlock is lost, oh well. Turning a beautiful cork on a lathe... someday, oh yes!
