"Hot wash" if you see the mud and puddles they like to play in!So " Delicates and silk" then.

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.
Update, i found time to paint itA bit of wood bothering today, made a radiator cover from all the off cuts and some reclaimed MDF, even the hinges are reclaimed from a door, just needs a paint now.

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.DCMT shape in a sducr or sdqcr bar is a good choice insert for it.
So that gear of mine was good practiceToday 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.

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.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 thought of you as soon as I saw that!Go on then, make me one?
