I have deficiencies in many areas For example I tend to be obsessive

and a fetish for Honda's

That is not a deficiency, now if you had said KTM or Ducati or old British Iron then.....

Apparently low quality instant coffee is a little bit acidic & it helps to bring out the contrast

Or try mustard.

As promised yesterday,a guillotine door plus chain to restrain it up.

Lubricant makes a big difference. The knurl dislodges bits of material from the stock and if you don't lubricate, they get stuck in the indents of the knurled part and the next time it gets to the teeth of the knurl it gets mashed. Lubricant washes all the crud away.

Try trimming off a few more thou of metal and knurling on very slow with a few drops of oil if the knurled pattern is out of sync ,
If you are worried about stress try using a long live tailstock centre , somewhere online is a chart of best diameter sizes for knurling.

I seem to recall engraving five or six workable diameters for knurling on a piece of roof line trim, but I'm ******** if I can find it as it's no longer hanging from a nail near the lathe, happen I should have used a two-screw fixing instead of a nail to hang it from.

Not today but yesterday
I've lay down the main line for my workshop (which still to be demolished and build) , installed 2 lamps and 3 sockets.
Going to repair an handheld concrete mixer right now , because now I can (there wasn't any light)

Get some pictures up

It would be a great mess captured by pictures
I have to clean up little bit too much prior to use the camera .
Just trust me

120 tooth gear . A nice challenge

Up to now the doors have cost nothing so I bit the bullet and got some 10mm twin wall polycarbonate which sandwiches nicely between the mesh and the retaining batons, the batons got ripped down out of a length of 8x2 that was lying around, just got to rip down some wider strips with a bit of a drip for the center bars

Yesterday I nearly made myself cry. The upstairs ring main was taking out the up front RCD. Killed the power and did some dead testing of the ring legs. Continuity, polarity & IR.

Cu is up at ceiling level and I'd wedged the Megger in the little wooden surround. It fell onto the quarry tiles of the porch. Still works but the rear half of the case is like a jigsaw.

Much super glue ensued.

After finishing a batch of welding, i was excited to try out my machine code... I set for 6 work co-ordinates for 6 parts to 1st op them all in one go... But for some reason my ancient mill won't process G55-G59 work coordinates, even though i can set them so had to do them individually.

Made a genuine light sabre.

Let see if I can sell it to a cosplayer and get money out of scrap ?

A frame for a technological module for preparing clean air with a screw compressor + an additional 500-liter receiver is mounted + a huge dehumidifier, then a refrigeration module + humidity sensor + carbon filter. All with automatic condensate removal valves. The output of compressed air from the compressor is 3/4", from the latest filter the output is 1/4" ... and again the entrance to a separate reactor with a diameter of 18 mm The designer was an entertainer. In metal, it turned out intricately. Dimensions 2000*800, steel pipe 80*40*2.5, 40*40, 40*20 and 4 wheels with bearings, 500 kg load capacity each.

Remove grease from black scale with acetone, spray with 2K epoxy primer and then paint with 2K Raptor Polyurethane Paint. Applying paint with a roller turns out economically and a good appearance.

Assembly. Now we need to add a little chaos from the connecting pipes. The engineer who designed all this (dissimilar equipment) threw me a pig. In the dew point sensor, compression fittings with a thread size of 11 mm * 1.25 and a non-standard tube are used. All this will have to be redone, for Festo quick pneumatic connections. Tig welding and angle grinders, as always, will help out.

Been a busy 2 weeks but this will be the 4th shed I have done this year, each one better and more complicated than the last. I really love doing them!
