Apologies! I still remember the pain of dropping a brake caliper on my toe 30 years ago...

Ever tried to drop a wrench ?
It's amazing how it would bounce on the floor and eventually it will hit your leg causing an unbelievable pain

I've been suffering from a distinct lack of mojo/muchness/oomph/whatever-you-want-to-call-it recently. However, I did manage to turn a very simple little top-hat shaped thing out of some 40 mm EN1A:

It ain't much, but it'll be useful as it'll drop into any one of the myriad dog holes in my bench (which are currently filled with non-magnetic stainless filler pieces) and allow me to plonk a magnetic-base light down wherever I need it:

I know, women complain that men just don't understand the pain of childbirth, I wonder how many of them have felt the pain of kneeling on a 6mm bolt, now THAT is pain!

Oh I don't know, after childbirth comes Lego, Lego can be just as painful as a 6mm bolt

Design thanks to thingiverse, but since I’d just given the resin printer a bit of a service today (including new fep, etc), I decided to push the printing detail a bit To test the setup.

Here we have a Willies Jeep, massively scaled down from the original file. I lost a few really tiny bits due to poor placement, but I can reprint them, so not a problem. Still a bit tidying up and curing to to, then the fun of painting.

A ruler, and a Weeping Angel for scale.

I often encounter the 'child birth' line with 'broken/shattered femur'.
At least the birther had the fun of intercourse beforehand.

Did another slate, this of one of my favourite pics from a run last year.

Women are designed by nature to manage the pain of child birth , all sorts of hormones' come into play to ease the birth and reduce pains.

I got sick of my Ex wife bleating about it , so I to imagine having a bed wetting / vomit inducing pain from a bust shoulder joint hanging on for dear life for 14 years day in day out.
. It's now 43 yrs old still very painful on a daily basis and has been put on a surgical waiting list for the last 9 years . Getting cancelled twice , as of September 2023 I'm on a new waiting list , having recently have had MRI Cat scans and x rays plus numerous steroids' & pain killer injections ... I'm going to to have a total replacement reverse artificial shoulder joint ........... if I live that long .

Converting ~1L/min of fuel into hopefully ~90lbs of thrust

what are we fitting this thrusty thing into? Something interesting I hope.

Well I wanted to stick it in a go-kart but parents would have killed me before it could

I could build this frame into an extended kart frame as it's basically a fully contained engine once complete though I was thinking of bolting it to one of these for a laugh

You're off your trolley mate!

Well he would be, very quickly!

Finished the oil system, the finally piece of pipe was left on the floor (bad idea) so when I picked it up by the end a f***ing £1 coin sized spider crawled out onto my hand! Jump certainly got my heart going

Fuel pump assembled with a 1m grease gun hose for a "remote" gauge and ready for leak testing with 600psi kerosene

I was going to use angle for this but it's not right on 90degrees a hinge came in handy.

The rivets are decorative being plug welded from the rear.

One of a boat I used to work on and now long gone (from Arbroath anyway, may still be floating somewhere).
I actually went to night school to weld up the mast and welded up the wheel house roof and whaleback with my first ever mig, in fact I think it was likely the first ever job I did with the mig and I was still a fisherman at the time

 

[Barking Mat]

I made a nightmare to access oil drain connection to the tank... To give you some sense of scale that's 22mm copper pipe connected to a Detroit diesel 85mm turbo
