Keyways in shaft, very nice to mill this en16m.View attachment 435744

I know this is for me, (that's Jake's print isn't it?) but I'm still not sure / forgotten what you're doing with this!

It is almost ready to use, just need to make up the handle. I thought a keyway would be better than using a hex socket to turn the shaft. I am thinking that by applying the torque from both ends, the force on the print will be lower and therefore smoother and better finish.

It rubs the lotion on it's skin

Had these tool holders taking space. One was previously a parting holder milling failure and welded up. The other a chinese parting type that I have no use for and plan to make flat before welding a plate on it.

This turned out to be hardened sending bright red chips everywhere. I did t want to set fire to myself or shed so change of plan. Probably should have used grinder first..

My propane bottle near empty so got out a fresh propene and a fresh propane/ butane mix and used the 3 torches together. Plenty of heat! Good to know it was easy, I might silver braze the plate on.

Waiting for it to cool off slow wrapped in insulation. Will see if it mills easier, later!

Also first time using the 3" facemill, the 2" would have been better.

Couple of 8mm thick Perspex handlebar barkbustery things for my C.15T-B.40 GB trailie.
Moving the thing forwards into some better long distance riding capacity..
Which will be nice once the weather warms up a bit...

I've gone right off the idea of getting one of those - I had the notion they didn't rot much.

To be fair this one has live on the coast for most of its life.

I had another one in last year and all it needed was a 40x100mm repair on the rear floor pan on each side.

Bit of old school CAD... Cardboard Aided Design

Abs enclosure ordered now I know it'll fit so time to make the real thing.

Gardening season will be upon us in a few months, my sister requested a sign she saw online for her husbands birfday.
I drew it in CAD and added the curved sunshine part on one version, ran it on the new plasma table.

Decided that dark red (Ral 3009) would look nice:

I had to steal the bathroom mirror to see where the spot welder arms were going but I got new outriggers onto the Volvo today.

I did one similar earlier this week, went back today to tidy up and paint but the resin hasn’t cured, will it ever or do I start again?

@Mick Annick ,was it a known tube you’d used before,has it expired,did the temperature drop during the curing period?
Unlucky there.

It’s in date, the other two holes I used it in cured OK, though this one is in a cold, shaded spot though it’s not been that cold here since I did it. I’m back next week so will see if it’s OK or if I have to rip it out and do it again.

Very nice, simple elegant design.

Give a squeeze or two onto a bit of card/rubbish bag to make sure it's mixing properly through the nozzle before putting it In the holes.

Can you remember if the hole that won't set, is the first one you did?

I can’t remember, I ran a fair bit through the nozzle before using to make sure it was well mixed.
