Today I discovered I'd made a cock up. Gear head motor not big enough for my electric lead screw conversion. It's not for threading. Just a variable, reversible feed system so I don't have to run my noisy change gears, Unless threading.
Back to the drawing board, wiper motor maybe. I have the 12v supply, the motor speed controller and dpdt switch installed. So just need a bigger motor.

That's very kind of you. You've helped me before, at least let me buy you some beer or something!

Ive got a wheelchair motor you can have for nowt if you require more grunt just let me know.
Found it. It was on the floor where I left it.
I had attached the big lump to the theaded output end but it should come off with a little persuasion. There are four blade type electrical connections. One is negative, the other two are slow and fast for the positive. Not sure what the remaining one does. Intermittent perhaps? Anyway it's all yours if you want it. I fitted it to a bead roller but found it didnt have the torque with the material pinched between the dies.

Bang and ’ow loud son ?
Made a junk corner a little tidier should have taken a picture before, made the tall rack bought the tool chest, made plates for the bottom of the chest to take smaller wheels to keep the chest the same height as my other benches, folded a bit of angle for the back to stop stuff falling down

Absolutely Crystal Clear audio. :-) Quality rather than quantity every time.

Weather has been killing me, should have had this job finished two weeks ago but the wind has never stopped.
Today it was only 8 or 9mph but weekends are bike time so it was hard to do but I went and got a bit done. Probably have to go and do a different job tomorrow so I hope Monday is low winds, the rest of the week doesn't look good
Not easy welding the outside standing on the pier with the boat moving all over the place

Finished making all the bits for my new T and C grinder wheels. I had to make a couple of new nuts to hold the wheels on the arbor, as the old one was clearly not right - looks like it was an old electrical conduit nut with a fit like a banana up Oxford St. A really odd size - ½” x 25 tpi, which of course I don’t have a tap for, so I had to make one from some EN24. Not really hard enough to make a tap, so that’s why I made the nuts from brass. Also 25 tpi is not quite the same as the 1mm pitch I can get on my metric lathe, but the difference is so small it works out ok.
And while I was at it I made some proper pin ‘spanner’s’ to tighten everything up properly.

Decided to chop my centre stand seeing as how I have lowered the AT.
I looked before I chopped and saw that shortening it by 30mm (the amount I lowered) the part you stand on would be right under the pillion peg so I would also have to lower that part, so 3 bits to shorten.
Pic showing the bits I would have to chop out.
Used some cable ties to give me a line to scribe so it was easier to chop straight with the angle grinder.
Chopped all 3 sections out, cut up some 14mm stainless round bar and inserted that into the stand at the joints. One was close to the base so I bored a hole and plug welded in the stainless.
The others I notched out the tube so I could weld the stainless in place.
All done and stand looking dumpy
Fitted it and there is plenty room below the pillion peg to get my boot in.
The already shortened side stand just contacts the centre stand when fully retracted but I think it will be fine, if there are any issues it will be easy to tweak the centre stand to provide clearance.
