Stuff you have made today

[RichardM]

Bought one of the angel eye lamps from China.
Made a holder to attach it to my little TS mill. Bit of rotary table work to mill some slots and magnet location holes.



A couple of magnets to hold it in place



Recessed the other side on the lathe so the lamp sits in the casing.



Just have to fit a little switch in the electrics cabinet for it.

 

[Barking Mat]

...a slightly over engineered water container bracket for my van. Been a year or so since I welded aluminium so good to get some practice. Got to use my air chamfer tool for the first time as well

With a bungee to hold it in place ?

 

[MattF]

¼" one side, ⅜" the other, with a position locking ring on the ⅜" side. Purpose is to hold a little battery lamp on the Pollard.





Without the lamp on.



Saves faffing about wiring & affixing something permanent.

Tree is down
18" diameter and my saw only has a 16" bar to make it more interesting.

You should have no problem felling a tree diameter nearly double the length of your guide bar , there are methods you know .
have stripped a bit of bark to go in your survival kit , tis a silver birch isn't it .

We have a couple of them, really good when welding pipe.

A pair of speaker bracket’s,75/6 steel,bent cold initially but the radius was too big,ended up hot bending.
staggered at how much this customer spent on these and the speakers.

Today I mad a couple of clips to fix the heat shield to the fuel tank on my Alfa 159.

Made out of alloy because the heat shields is aluminium.
The originals are spring steel and eat away the alloy.

While I was at it, I blasted and painted the fuel tank straps.

Looks like you might be up for an exhaust soon!

Looks like you might be up for an exhaust soon!

Anything like the original Alfa one on my 2007 version, it's made of surprisingly thick metal and will last a good while longer. Its the flexible joints up front (two one my V6 version) that fail . . . but so far, a good dollop of high temp silicon has "fixed" one of mine.

The exhaust does look a bit out of place after I repaired and painted most of the rusty bits, but I'm not the sort of person to change stuff for the sake of it.
As @bricol says I thinks there's life in it yet.

I even thought about painting it, not to extend it's life, but to see how long epoxy lasts with and without prep, but it's too late for that now as its up for the test next Tuesday and test dates are hard to come by over here.

Had the slater at the roof today as there was a broken slate. Got that fixed and got the broken slate from him to test some laser etching on. He also gave me a few others for later

Anyway here is the result, border round the pic is 150mm x 100mm approx and it took 1.5 hrs to do.
