Today i finished off a bar, made for our yacht club's 100th Centenary bash this Saturday, two stainless steel kitchen unit frames with shelves from my mates scrap yard bolted together, one 16ft rowing skiff badly damaged port side so was going to be cut up. Shortened her by two feet in the middle & all built out of scrap. Taken about 4 days work, what the hell we only do this once a century!

Started with J blast superfine but that wasn't doing a great job and it's mega aggressive. It was attacking the soft cast and paint and filler being bounced off. So then went to chilled iron grit. Bout a 12-16" blasting distance worked just right. Took paint off without removing detail.

Got to fix my Hodge Clemco 1440NC blast pot - stopped working half way through a job - the dead mans valve has stuck and the feed cone that lets sand in from the hopper isn't moving - more dismantling

We have the same pot

 

[awemawson]

It's an odd thing Brad but that valve got stuck a few years back, again half way through a job, and I pulled it all apart and rebuilt it with loads of pictures and posted them on Madmodder - but for the life of me I can't find them. I have the book of words though (attached)

It's been a long bloody day. Had to sort the mill before it could be used for a job as usual.

 

[Cuthy246]

Today I replaced the front door, not too bad a job to do just lots of fitting then removing and adjusting shims until it was right.

Nothing wrong with it, from the colour you have allowed it to overheat to 300c+ and the brazed joint has let go. Braze may have a melting of 600-950c but the working temp is only upto 250c, they all loose strength above that. Not many burrs are solid carbide, branded or not.

Push back together and can be re brazed with silverflo, its fiddly, the tip will want to shoot off from the flux expanding - even if its dry flux powder. Gentle heating wont hurt the cutting edges and clean up in citric after.
