Air holes enlarged. I wont be winning any awards for neatness! The torch did not like dragging on the rough rusty surface. Wont try it tonight as it may annoy people if I use it too often.with firepit and plasma, it was going to need some air holes, and it seems I will need to add more and probably bigger.
Nice mug, into your poppers are you?I finally have something to add here! (Don't get your hopes up)
Turned up a piece to allow me to use my 6" 4 jaw chuck on my small rotary table - with an 8 TPI thread one end, secured by an M8 bolt in the other end.
This was my first go at thread cutting on the lathe - and whilst far from perfect - I'm happy enough with it.
I can see my tool centre needs a tiny bit of fettling...
(Mug for scale)

No- something even more interesting- dog scent detection work.Nice mug, into your poppers are you?
That looks good he should be well chuffed with that!Repaired a set of steps for a friends tractor, I was going to patch them up, but decided it was quicker to just renew the side rails, he probably got more than he though he was going to get, I believe replacements are available £845 per each!!
The steps also hold up the diesel tank, they were tied up with a rope, there was not much left to get sizes at the lower end, its pretty close to what it was.
Photography is not my thing either as you will see by the poor photos!! please excuse the untidy bench!!

Lovely idea I wish I'd have thought of that for my ancient scroll saw before spending £22 inc pipes & tubes on a double element fish tank pump as the blower.Altered/modified the scroll saw. Realised when using it earlier that I don't want to be blowing the dust, so added a piece of copper brake pipe to the 90° adapter I fitted to the extraction outlet, & ran a pipe to the blower, so now it's sucking rather than blowing. Surprisingly, it actually appears to work reasonably well.
