Stuff you have made today

[Onoff]

Today I made my way home from the pub!

Should have stayed !

Should have stayed !

It was good, met 4 lads down from London; a bloke who sells beer for Brewdog, a couple of lads from Hawkes ciderery and a chap from Gosnells meadery.

Must have been nice for them to find a real pub away from the urban hipster set!

Wasn't the A303 from me was it? That's supposed to be free machining I believe.

Nah I havent tried that yet, I didnt want to waste it on spacers.

Started on the blank

While undersize I put a few test grooves in,then bored them off. My brazed tool works but needs very slow speed on alu and imagine it may struggle on stainless.

A base plate with a straight edge for Katsu/Makita palm routers. Quick drawing in Fusion 360 and then laser cut and countersunk.

Not today, but finished yesterday. A built in wardrobe and cupboard for my youngest daughter. She wanted it in the style of a Tardis, so I painted the doors Tardis blue and was going to paint the panelling and sign work on the doors later.

But then found a sticker that was almost the exact right size, the door width was spot on, just had to trim 10mm off the bottom of the stickers.

I used an old Yale key for the right door handle and placed the left door handle where the handle for the phone box should be. She's well chuffed

I just need to finish the ensuite you can see beyond it and build some more built in cupboards and drawers opposite the wardrobe then I can get back to more workshop stuff.

I will hopefully be able to source some reduced head ones

I've been looking for some of those for the Surf but can't find any for a reasonable price, M8 bolt with a 12mm head.
I've had to fit a couple of 13mm head bolts as a temporary fix but don't want to mess up the Surf's Karma with an unlucky number bolt!
If you find someone selling them please let me know

Only get out on it at the weekends but done this in about 9 months.

That's more than I've done in the last 3 years

O sorry I might need glasses.

You've been squinting at too many young birds wearing Harley Davidson T shirts...

Should have put the doors on the ensuite and called it the T.U.R.D.I.S...

I've not heard that before, I like the idea!

They weren't cheap, almost £30 delivered for 4 M8 X 55 with 10mm hex but they are stainless.

How long do the M8's need to be?

 

[dobbslc]

I need some about 30mm long but with a 12mm hex. Seen some for over £5 each!

Shame, I have some here from outboard packing frames but only 16mm long.

 

[dobbslc]

Thanks but they'll be a bit short.

I was supposed to be making an outside composting toilet near the brewery in a Tardis style with that name, not got around to it yet, I may think of a different theme now.

 

[Onoff]

I've not heard that before, I like the idea!

One of my plans is a loo in the garden built on the theme.

My wife says I need a loo in the garden ….. or she needs me to use a loo in the garden

I made a Rolla Bolla today for my daughter, who's 15, doing circus skills instead of P.E. in school / college.

It's a balancing board on a pipe thingy.

€50 to €70 euros to buy, honest.

Took me hours to find the correct rods to tig weld the wood together, then I made the tube from buzzards, I smelted on my imaginary roadkill forge.

Classy eh? Or ten minutes at work and 6 screws, she was chuffed, which is all that matters.

She can balance on it loads better than me and juggle scarves, who says modern education doesn't teach kids important life skills ?

Fitted the cameras and got screens all setup ready to go.

I appreciate it says Progress, but what the hell is it ?

I pull boats with our tractor, just because we get bored at work.

Not this one, but the one we nearly chucked in yesterday, wanted to sink, so we quickly pulled it out again, not often that happens.

It's a powered cultivator and seed drill on top. Triple hoppers on this drill so can plant 3 things at once, or as is the case for first fields one crop and fertiliser at the same time.
