Ahh, i seem to have made a cockup there lol

It's just a bit of fun to weigh the pumpkin.

The pumpkin was purchased from a charity pumpkin patch planted and tended by folk with learning disabilities. Proceeds get put with the pub quiz money and will go to the Poppy Appeal.

SWMBO thought my idea of a wicker basket with a photo of Harris/Saville/Gadd staring up was in bad taste.

Who?

Another not today but...........recently!

Tool holder for some inserts I picked up from the car boot sale, made from the shank of an old reamer.


Edge probe for the mill, 0.005mm deflection to activate.



and finished the little engine - unless I decide to paint her.

Nothing exciting, piston circlips took far longer to arrive than I had hoped. But it's another saw out back together. Lot of smoke due to the oil from the assembly.


Note to the kids, high compression and altered port timing is fast.
But mashed pistons are not cool.

She survived a year of abuse before the destruction then resided on a shelf for 2 years.

Who?

The charity the pumpkin came from? It was Spadework at Offham:

Home - Spadework

Tonight then we raised £111.00 ish for the Poppy Appeal. The guillotine cum stocks scales did their thing admirably.

Learning while burning, some pipework all tested to 7 bar, this was my 3rd pipe hoping to improve over the next 3-4 weeks

Started designing the tree climbing spikes. 6mm x 25mm alu bar, bent as the frame. The right bend was a far too tight radius and cracked, will be cut off and another bit bolted on - thats only for a securing strap loop anyway. Plenty more bar if I cock it up..

The difficult bit is working out where to bend for a comfortable fit. I'm going to cut it and have the leg support a seperate piece.
To have the spike in the right place on the shoe, it needs to be offset quite a bit from the leg support.

[Hood]

Decided that after making the tops for the brake reservoirs because they looked plain against the parking brake lid I made, the parking brake lid now looked plain

So popped down to the workshop this evening and milled a new one with a raised top instead of flat.

Anodised it

Then brought it home and lasered the logo and screwed up with placement so will have to strip the anodising off and anodise and etch again
I did a frame run to make sure it was placed correctly but the framing looked out so I moved it over, again it looked out so moved again and if I had left it where it was initially it would have been perfect. Not sure why the framing was off but should have believed what the camera was showing instead of the framing
