Stuff you have made today

[leadpig]

Not bad for a afternoon in sun
5 inch grinder is not much fun though on 5mm x 100mm box section

 

[Hood]

Tuesday and Wednesday I chopped up a load of stainless and made some hand rails, slow going doing Tig

Today I was to put a fuel level sender unit into a tank and see if I could sort out the leak, F knows what size of rods had been used to weld the fittings, certainly put a nice shape into the plate, no wonder it wouldn't seal even with 2 cork gaskets

Tank hopefully without leaks and a sender fitted.

Anyone got any machinery that's currently not working?

Made with beer yeast, salvaged from the bottom of a home brew container.
Then left to raise in the sun today, in the cast iron pot. Then cooked in the pot in a wood fire.

@The_Yellow_Ardvark Show us your crum shot!

MK4 Mondeo clutch inc slave cylinder.

Tbh couldn't have done it without the BiL and nephew's help. BiL had been "doing" cars since he was 15 and is nearly 70 now. He just has the knack! He backs up knowledge with grunt when needs be. The 3D printed clutch alignment tool and subframe alignment pins worked.

All back together now save for the arch liners and under tray. I jet washed them and under both front wings then whacked a drop of Procote cold galv spray on little scabby bits here and there.

Sewing an oat, wild or otherwise would take some dexterity!

I'd have to colour those outside screws in with a black Sharpie!

Are such shots allowed on this family site?

If you saw the size of his needle and the position of it's eye you'd understand better .

Gently reintroducing myself to the workshop after a business trip to Hong Kong and a week in bed recovering from covid caught on said business trip. I'm still feeling very weak but at least (as of today) I'm testing negative so don't have to isolate myself from my other half.

I thought a nice introduction back to workshoppery would be to make a new screw for a Veritas router plane (the existing one has a habit of coming loose in use, which is really annoying).

I didn't remake the (arguably pointless) sprung plunger, although I was tempted to so that I could throw away that countersunk screw and not have to use an imperial allen key any more.

The new screw is a LOT bigger than the old one, so hopefully will be easy to tighten down more firmly than the original:

Another workbench. Now that I've relocated the Pollard drill, I've been able to make a small, (3' wide), bench, to fit into the spot that was taking previously, so now I have a workbench next to the lathe.

Hoist by my own petard! You are quite right of course.

 

[W.olly]

Soooooo much better And all for free

Just need to chop the wood pile now, one job leads to another i guess.

Hoist by my own petard! You are quite right of course.

And, I learned a few years ago, a petard is a bomb, as any fule kno.

Petard - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Shakespeare's phrase "hoist with his own petard"—meaning that one could be lifted (blown) upward by one's own bomb, or in other words, be foiled by one's own plan—has become an idiom that means "to be harmed by one's own plan (to harm someone else)" or "to fall into one's own trap".

 

[Farside]

Or a little fart.

Thanks to a glowing recommendation from Rannsachair I invested heavily ,for me , in a quick change tool post which required another simple lathe and tig job on a piece of innocent ms bar.
