Got some hauler plates in to skim, I was going to do the smaller set last week but ran out of time, glad I did as it means I only have to clean the cast iron from the lathe once

Big plates are bleeding big, each weighs around 35kg and about 480mm dia if I recall, bit of a lift to get onto the lathe and in the chuck but a lot better now I have the foot switch as it means I can hold with both hands whilst clamping.

Just starting.

Couple of passes done, still need another to take the final wear off the taper.

All done.

Maybe if you made it for her you would have more chance of a begrudging s**g.
Then again, I've been cooking all our meals for years, all to no avail.

Making stoppers to replace all of the missing ones on our drawing tables.

What material are you printing them in ?

 

[DAPPH]

New vice, means new vice stand! Brakes discs, bit of tubing and extra weights if needed.

Another weight set between rear faces will make it a lot safer if you have any reasonable weight in the vice.
As it is, to me it looks to be very front /jaw end heavy

Today I mostly made a bucket of holes. Polo got the idea from me

View attachment 363978View attachment 363979
Customer supplied 24 plates with the 4 mounting holes in. My job was to put the ovals in them. Basic jig knocked up on table which is the purpose of this post really.

Just putting the idea out there.

Scrape the slag off the pieces in the bucket, and make or sell them on as airgun or rifle targets ?

It's actually very stable surprisingly, the added weights will be enough for what work I'll be doing on it. The jaw end is actually set back a bit as it was very front heavy, so I set it back to distribute the weight etc. I had a third disc and I was going to use it on the base as a triangle base. However it's footprint ment whacking my foot against it when I use. Thanks for the pointers all the same.

That’d work actually.

Hanging targets.

I'm told that the addition of Spanish Fly to a recipe works wonders and has no taste .

Needed some stainless 2. 1/2" U Bolts in a hurry, no place local have them so grabbed some M8 threaded rod and gave it a go on the wee brake, think it will work fine


Not U bolts but close enough

 

[Kram]

made up an adaptor so i can run a rothenberger off a big propane bottle
hacksawed the threaded end off its disposable bottle and silver soldered a hose tail on it , worked oiland chalk into the theads to stop them scaling

Does it work? I thought the direct attach torches had a big restriction to drop pressure down, and if your feeding it from a low pressure regulator, not much will get through?

Climbing shoe repair. The patch I put on months ago was excellent but I used a tube of glue that was going off, so it started to peel away, a new tube seems to have worked properly, just to clean up the excess.

 

[zeppelin builder]

it works no problem with an adjustable regulator like this just bring the pressure up from zero
like any other heating torch

Finally installed the main switch in my "workshop".

I've been working on some little improvement to my mag drill
4 meters power cord with blue plug
Speed controller
And new cord between the drill motor and the magnetic base.
I have to complete the circuit ,make another hole for the power cord .
Little thing
The speed controller is very smooth at minimum but eventually the motor revs starts to be unstable like a machine gun but giving more power it will run smoothly again up to the maximum speed RPM.
There's any way to solve this problem?
