tried before to cut them out but I couldn't as much power as I really needed because fuse was continuously tripping

Tried to cut them out using the welder...etc

Made this plate from scrap so I can use the hobbyist type bandsaw in its vertical position. (I did clean the rust back afterwards)
It's not the best saw; have to cut/feed steel so carefully.

Weather is being a real PITA for me at the moment so I am not making much progress with the hopper and shelter welding, if it is not blowing a gale it is pouring down So getting on with some other jobs that I can do inside.

Welded some 50mm dia 316 into some 9" dia x 20mm thick 316 and then machined it to fit into some 8" NB pipe.

Threw the pipe into the welding bench vice and welded on the ends.

Final fitting to the set of decorative gates,checking spans before we make fencing panels each side of this ,the largest of the 3 gateways,then the arduous task of painting.

finished off making these pitbull clamps from O1 tool steel. Need to harden them now, but I'm really pleased with them. Probably about 4 hours work in total.
I started with 12 but messed up 2 of them, so ended up with 10 usable ones.



I also made another 60 stainless angle brackets last night. Took about 2.5 hours total...not too shabby

Excuse my ignorance but could you show some of these pitbull clamps in use , just wondering exactly how they're used .

We use them at work for prototypes, I'd have bought some but they're not cheap.
You mill a pocket in a sacrificial bed and drill and tap it. They screw down and hold from the side, so you can arrange as many as you need for a particular project.
This gives you an idea

Today I made a block plane usable

it's an old stanley sweetheart aquired of @Robbie260 it had been almost all painted red , the adjustable mouth was seized and the iorn was u.s. bit oil sand paper and metal polish , the iorn was a bit of a mission to get hold of but ebay was me friend there


all bac together and a lovely little plane it is plane cross grain lovely

cutting of oak block top and about 90 seconds later

I didn't even need to sharped the iorn it came razor sharp . Ive already got the record version of this in me van kit so this is for the garage but I think this one is nicer and is staying in the garage.

 

[roblane65]

Forgot to say I did think of striping the red paint and going back to black , but the more I saw it the more I liked it
so red bare minimum resto it was
