Today, working on a old milking parlour, I had to remove brass bolts from flanges. But they were well fused in.
After all but destroying one and uttering many words of bad, a plan was hatched.
The bolts had to be removed intact and with out damaged.
So, fresh coffee, some oak, some teak, some copper and a lathe.
A thing was born.
TYA podgier.
The taper end is placed against the stubborn bast.... sorry bolt. Steadied with the handle and a deft blow with a hammer and the bolt scuttles to the other side of the room.

Finished the fabrication and stud work on the new storage area this Thursday ready for the foam spray contractors to come in on Friday.
Ply lining next, then paint, lights and heat.
The ladder was holding up a temporary gutter to keep the rain off the wooden floor while we waited for the rain to stop so we could weld up the top sealing strip.

We welded 6mmx60mm capacitor discharge studs with a stud gun to the walls and ceiling then counterbored and drilled the wooden battens.
The ceiling will get 25mm celotex insulation then 9mm osb/ply, the walls will get 18mm osb.

Today I made a miracle happen.
First time in my life I have ever got a broken setscrew out with an easy out
Probably the reason it worked was the setscrews had sheared rather than breaking because of being seized in and it really shouldn't even have needed anything other than a pick to wind it out but someone had had a go with a hammer, drill and several other unknown implements
What they had succeeded in doing was make sure it wasn't coming out too easily. The other one came out no problem with a pick and a few minutes time but it hadn't been subject to any prior removal attempts 
Anyway I decided to drill this one and use an easy out and once it came up past the damaged part of the thread it just spun out.
Also finished off welding a shooting table for a small boat, bit flimsy being 3" x 1/8" angle and 3mm sheet but it needs to be light, hopefully I will get it fitted later in the week but I have donkey engine swaps, wiring, outboard servicing and a few other bits and pieces to do before I get the table fitted..
Also got the frame partially welded up for another Cat, new engines had been fitted so they were higher and the skipper decided a new table was better than altering the original.

I dig your stuff.
Just to put my comment in context.
I like the stuff I do otherwise I would not do it, but all said and done this is a welding forum which was the main reason I joined, to gain knowledge of welding, to see other examples of welding and what some do on a daily basis. Learn from the example of others.
Yes this is in a metal forming category, so it is all acceptable, but I feel, shall I say more respect and admiration, seeing pictures of other work that includes welding fabrication etc. especially when there is some explanation. of the process, type of gear used, means of overcoming obstacles etc.
A good looking garden gate, welding up a boat, Paul's stainless steel work, that type of thing to me puts my simple stuff cut from a CNC in the shade and long may it do so.

Gates fitted last week.
Had to "adjust" one bottom hinge on a post as there was a bit too much overlap in the middle.
The galvanisers had also snapped off a latch bracket which i didn't notice till the end as they had powder coated over it. Made up a new bracket to bolt on and fitted a day or so later.
