Really nice work. What do you do in the way of prep? Or do you let the cleaning action take care of it?

First one I've done, I didn't clean the core itself enough I'll know for the next time the pipe is new aluminium, cut with band saw, de burr, scotchbrite acetone, then weld

Isn't mojo the oddest thing, I can go from hardly being able to look at something, give it a couple of days then back at it like a thing possessed.
Mojo enhancer, should be available at the chemist - non prescription.

Mine has been at a very low ebb for a couple of years. I've even started to clear stuff from my storeroom bedroom so that i can get on with my nearly 5 years old underfloor heating project

They are indeed, some distance from the cylinder though.

I will find out after the first burn up.

Nice job. I could do with making a steady like that.

For the moment I'm turning some really lovely stuff.

This is the the ladder style scaff boarding I'm replacing with Stok Board 533mm between inside of stiles and 300 between the rungs . It better supported than I'd hoped for .

Decided this morning after cutting with a 1/2 " router cutter & a dry fit to use a 30 yr long life semi setting mastic to stick the boards to the frame & weight them down with the bonsai plants . My lass is very very please at the result though £60 for six tubes mastic ( local screwfix ) was a bit of a shock .


Bare bone rack scrubbed clean but still with the origina resin bleed out stuck onth styles

Use a CLS floor joist as the guide for the router , found it 2 mm ( Not too shabby ) out of straight so tomorrow I hope to check the stiles of my extending ladder & if they are straighter use the ladder clamped to the baords as the routyer guide .

As yo can see this little 600 watt 1/4 inch shank router pushing anhalf inch cutter did a decent job . the 8x 34 sheetl was set up on a bench made of old stacked wooden pallets with the router set to 17.5 mm depth to cut the 16 mm thick Stok Board .
It's a lovely clean cut . First cut was with the angle grinder nd a bit naff to be honest but the router cut was briliant. The scratched on line marks at the edge of the cut are from me trying to set things up using a large heavy homemade " T ) square as a marking gauge ,, the router & clamped down floor joist won hands down . It didn't cut well with a 110 mm dis cutter with a " 1.5 mm thick " Cut all TCT impregnated blade in it .

It took over 10 min with angle grinder and blade ..just six minutes with the router .

Tomorrows line of attack is to set up two boards cut the top right through and finely channel out the bottom one as I need 4 smaller sections to fill in the ends of each the four rack s. It might just work out well or I may have to cut up a lot more of the second board ,
An added bonus is that I can get two floors out of one board and have a four inch x 8 foot strip left over . Tis strip will be used to make a tray edge round each bench to hold blown over plants on the benches as it get's a tad expensive when the wind blows half a dozen hand made bonsai trees & £45 to £80 or more pots off the bench on to the concrete with the usual result of broken branches and a shattered pot .


I took the precaution of adding three extra 8x 4 sheets for future mancupboard projects .
