I need to buy a knurler and learn to knurl.
Renovating the floor of this 10 tonne trailer,100/50/4 cross members and 3mm plate,lucky with the weather,as we did all the messy cutting out last week in the dry,now in the shed to fit new steel,this is gonna cost.
Having to hoist the plates as all the weights outside the Morgan folder,yes bent by hand,no press brake.
The kids getting to play in a real one for a change.

Hope they're not getting their uniforms dirty!
I thought it was their company logo.

So "everlasting" in the sense of "refillable"?
Is it stainless? Can you put some dimensions up, I'd like to make one? Always looking for little lathe jobs!

Just measured its still 10-15% moisture compared to 5-7% surrounding wall.
As I wanted to get this done I started at 1am and stopped about 6am, two coats of "rabbits foot" on the skirtings, filler in the ceiling wall joint and washed ready to paint. Just got out of bed and cant really be arsd today! I forgot to buy any wallpaper paste
No seems fine, its now changed to a light grey/pink colour and near ready after some primer.

Its not turned its a bit of 5/8 mild steel tube with an m8 nut brazed in either end the bottom one plugged with braze to make it oil tight and an m8 bolt for the top with a 3.2mm hole drilled in for a cotton string wick i shaped the top on the belt sander with it held spinning in my battery drill then polished it. The body of mine is 70mm long but you could make it any size you want. Or turn one that would be a nice job.

The dodgy fuse was needed to set up a dodgy DC supply, to test a coffee grinder.
Worked a treat. 
The original controller (Which doesn't work) had a start button and a knob to set the run time from 0 to 30 seconds. Now I know the motor works, I think I'm gonna make a new controller where the knob adjusts the burr speed rather than a timer, because that's a feature you get on higher end grinders and I wouldn't use the timer anyway, I'll weigh 20g of beans in and grind the lot.

That may well be what I do. The timer is supposed to dose the coffee but that's never going to be particularly repeatable, and pretty useless if you regularly change beans, 10 seconds might grind 20g of a dark roast but more like 15g of a lighter roast. Which is why I'm happy to do away with the timer, not that I think burr speed is particularly useful either, but there's a big hole in the case for a dial so I need to control something with it.
I'll save that for the espresso machine.Sounds like a job for a raspberry pie and a hmi

I thought that, until I purchased the sage Bambino annoyingly good.
