"Hot wash" if you see the mud and puddles they like to play in!

A drive gate,or rather track gate,as the house access is across a field and as it’s high up and exposed,he didn’t want close bars that would encourage snow building against it.
I made it 10 mm out of square to allow for sag,which was guesswork,luckily it hangs without sag.

Thats lovely Nick. How do you figure out and drill the holes for the horizontal bars? I always struggle with doing those neatly.

I was given some 6mm plate a while back the has now become the back of my welding bench, due to the shape of my garage i ended up with a 125mm gap so this will stop tools and crud falling down the back.
Thanks, I’ll give that a go when I’ve saved up some pocket money. I usually resort to HSS for a finishing cut when I’m having problems.

Today I made a replacement gear for the blue biax scrapers. The original fiber gears are unobtanium and no-one seems to make the replacements so I had to have a go myself.
It was a bit of a challenge because my hobber is designed only to produce spur gears (straight teeth) but I managed to get it to turn out a working gear, if slightly less than perfect.

A couple more layers of Raptor 2K polyurethane coating, and the industrial vacuum cleaner tanks will be protected. Application with a foam roller. I mix 133 grams at a time, in order to have time to apply, until the moment of gelling.

Made some offset studs today. M14 one end M13 the other. 190mm long. Yes, M13 is a thing now a days . Hi tensile material not available in 14mm dia , so had to turn down 16mm
Go on then, make me one?
I’m still learning, made my first helical gear out of a wax candle last night. I’m miles away from making a tiny tuffnol one.

I'm waiting for some Delrin to turn up as I had to turn that 27mm gear out of a 60mm slug. When it does I'll make one for you.
I thought of you as soon as I saw that!
