Sample coat hooks. The customer has to decide which, if either.

Then I have to make lots.

No contest, one on the left.

Some 8"x5" beams and box we chopped up to make some buttresses , will be installed as a temporary measure to stop a gurt wall falling over while insurers wrangle over who will replace it.

Many years ago... I was in the record department of WH Smiths (remember them? Records, that is) and there was a guy leaning against the counter, almost in a comedy Monty Python way as his feet were so far out from the counter he was at about 45 degrees.
"Is your name Buttress?", I asked with a grin.
He glared at me.
"No."
I left.

What's a "gurt wall"?

Like a f’kn gurt wall, just a bit smaller

I like the one on the left too.

Seeing as it is plasma cut ?? (CNC??) I feel that to put a hole for the actual coat holder peg/hook in the back plate , counter sink it at the back , then tack weld it in from the rear & grind off any raised weld as well as having four small radiused corners might give you a better-looking hook from the front as you have a lot of astheticlly pleasing curves with brutal right angles & straight edges ,

I like the hooks in any case .

Thank you.

I will try that in the morning

That song predates the Wurzels, the Yetties were singing it long before Adge Cutler rocked up

Made a spring:



The original at the top, someone actually tried to weld it to make a repair, you cannot weld a spring:

I only appeared in 1970 at Poole Hospital - and I received the combine harvest album as a present in 1976, so I knew that version first Listed as adapted by the three of them after the death of Adge, so no idea if he actually sang it at any point - I was a bit young to be going to pubs back then. I think its a West country folk song that quite a few have a version of from a rather a long time ago - even The Goons sang it before the Wurzels - in 1957 in "The Rent Collectors" - came up in my search when I was looking for link.

I finished the skate art, I'll get a photo if anyone is interested
Also inside the stand goes the wood with a plaque.

I also made a hex chuck key for the four jaw using the divisionmaster. So easy to do and it can stay there now because it is more convenient than collet blocks in the vice:

First thing tomorrow you'll have take it off to fit something long in the vice.

At least you’re a Dorset boy!

From Northants and Oxford stock . . . and sounding like I come from CleckHuddersFax . . . meaning the last time I was in Poole visiting a factory, no-one believed me when I said I was from just down the road . . .
