Stuff you have made today

[droopsnoot]

A replacement headlamp level sensor which will hopefully get me an MOT certificate. A pair of cheapo rod ends and a length of M6 threaded bar. I suspect I'll have to turn that nyloc around on the top, or replace it with a plain nut and some Loctite.

Chinese husky, or affectionately known as chusky I made it into a hot saw ran really well for a year until it didn't no fault of the saw.

It's put back to standard, new seals top end and bore runs well it's a mix of OEM and clone.

24" buried.

What did you use on your protos, looks like it sticks out and will get knocked off.
Also do you have a light on it for winter/night work?

What sort of power does that have? I would like to get more power out of my cs340

Same power as the ms461 I was using in the week. It's a 72cc saw

My yard at 6, start at 7 home by 4 wouldn't work in the dark far too dangerous.

It's just a vnetphone V6 doesn't stick out too much not that worried about it getting snagged, happens less often the more you climb.

Put hands free into my climbing / cutting helmet.

Partly for music when doing menial tasks, but more importantly to have onsite Comms when I'm climbing and doing rigging jobs.

Fiddly bloody jack to solder. The lidl rechargeable soldering iron is the ideal companion to the M12 iron.

This is a V6 I'm told I can have a v4 and 3 additional v6s or 4s which will allow full duplex Comms.


Now looking for a ptt handset to modify

Is that massive thing next to the TRRS plug your soldering iron? You're at a bench, why not use a proper corded iron?

In the kitchen, office is a cat sanctuary I can't stand it in there.

2 more to be got rid off.

Not mine, but....

 

[magnet]

After the hooks I made I thought I'd make a swivel for no other reason than I wanted to

 

[mtt.tr]

Managed to get a bit more render on.
This weather is frustrating.

 

[MikeBs]

Wanted some flowers that were drought tolerant, frost tolerant and lasted longer than a few weeks.

Lovely ,I just hope they are moisture tolerant as well.

A but more afternoon tree climbing. Considering if I could swing across to the rotten one, I'll be a bit too low for topping it I think. 5 meters between them so realistically there will be atleast 7m of the top.

On the ground well before it got dark this time

An indestructible catapult fork. Out of 10mm round for a kid along the doors

This started as a grand idea... "I'll make some amazing alloy swing out cabinets to hold all my tooling in the back of the press brake"
It ended up getting an hour here and there spent on chopping and folding whatever offcuts i could find and firing it all together with the welder... No i am not proud of this. But it does the job... The wooden box still has a another 2 sets of tools inside as well. And it all sits in the back of the brake to save on floor space.

i like it

 

[Munkul]

i like it

Thanks. I want to hate it myself but to be perfectly honest, it works. And it uses up some nasty anodized offcuts which is an added bonus. I'll put some wood underneath it to help with damp on the bottom shelf.

Not today, but I needed to get 12 litres of ATF into the gearbox of a Ford Ranger and the access is a bit pants, so I made a dispenser out of a foam fire extinguisher, an airline fitting and some clear polythene tube.

Works an absolute treat.
Just adjust the air pressure and use the handle to control the oil flow.

The Ranger sheared the flex plate on the torque converter and emptied the full contents of the gearbox.
Seems to be a common problem.

Might be worth painting it in case a darwin contender tries to put out a fire with it?

Painting and a pressure relief valve will have to wait but certainly on the to-do list.
