Cleats to hold straps that restrain the doors on a Landrover 101. Nearly unobtainable. So copied one loaned to me.

Here’s the earlier balustrade now installed,took 3 days,all spindles 30mm into the treads,then Ross drilled 60 mm,and a s/s 5 mm pin inserted to resist pull out,the second newel goes thru the quarter landing 900mm and then screwed to under stairs timbers,the bottom newel has a 15mm baseplate slotted snugly between UFH pipes,the whole thing was so tight on tolerance,luckily didn’t have to price it!
The intersection handrail segment took hours between two men,grinding and sanding under a cape to contain sparks with constant fire watching,customer wanted a smooth junction with no screwed joints.

It was a brand new carbide drill bit, but haha yes i was quite impressed too!
I've got a 90deg chamfer mill on its way, I've seen them put to good effect at work for engraving alloy so I've got high hopes.
Now i need to think of something more exciting to make... I've got solidworks, fusion 360 and a 3d mill, I've got no excuse now

The other day I've loaded my spinning reel with 0.20mm 20kg 8 strands Daiwa braided line , roughly 240m on this little 4000 class reel .
Talking about 30 euros fishing line....
I wasn't much happy with how I've wound it on the spool, line was soft and loose .
So I've put the plastic spool on my 7000 class surf casting reel .
Mounted it on my other spinning rod which has a female end , insert my new spinning rod in it (it has a male end on the handle section) so I've loosen the clutch on the little reel and filled the big spool ,once done that did the reverse maybe with 5kgs tension on the clutch.
This way the line is more tight .
Hope this helps with castings .
.
Left to buy small 3 gr thingy (hard fishing lure) and try bot regular spinning and especially eging .

Clutch alignment tool for my David brown. Undersize on two of the three diameters but not enough to matter on such an old tractor. Also no tolerances specified on the drawing First time I've had to try and be accurate, need to get my head around spacing the cuts and my handwheel graduations.

Great fun to use the smart and brown an what a delight en1a is to machine.

The ones you sometimes get with new clutches are plastic and not a massively tight fit so I wouldn't panic!

I am waiting for an invoice from the contractor for concrete laying, smoothing by helicopter and hardening of the top layer with quartz sand. Approximately 10 m3 of concrete. The formwork from the waste of door frames and the knitting of the fittings were done by ourselves. Concrete with polypropylene fiber.

Useful drawing. Thank you for posting it

Been a good few late ones this week.
Cladding the tanks I posted last week.
Needs a bit of careful measuring and working out to get the cladding rhe right size to slip over without being too tight or massive gaps round rhe ends.

Didn't have much height to spare either. Enough length on the hangers to drop it over the tank far enough, but short enough to get it over about 10mm clear, but will have to weld the vent In when it's laid down.

Made some jigsaw pieces on the plasma yesterday from 8mm 5083 aluminium.
It is for a roller system for another Cheetah Cat, won't be happening until next year but nothing like being prepared

 

[bigegg]

25mm X 16mm "mini trunking" (£1 a meter).
4mm "floor protector" (£9 for a 8x4 sheet) cut into strips to fit in place of "lid"



Cheap "light fittings" to take LED "tape".



From more than a foot away, it just looks like trunking, so blends in.



Can still be joined with standard trunking joints.

Plus: it's *cheap*
