Stuff you have made today

A couple of days ago I made a silly mistake
View attachment 445415
good job the blade wasn't sharp , we'd been cutting fireline and sound block boards so the blade was hammered . It took a nano second and there was plenty of claret , No hospital so I'm not in @doubleboost s club yet

You were lucky only to do that much damage.

2 mtrs wide by 32 mtrs long

Wow!

Slow steady progress on my Camper conversion. I've got all the DC & AC cables run into place, mounted the batteries, and got the Mains Hook-up, the AC Dis Board and the DC Dis Board fitted and connected, and the Battery Charger working.
Also got my overcab storage & loo cubicle lighting hooked up.
A long way still to go, but it's coming slowly.

What are you planning for the main saloon lighting?

What are you going to do with the spare wheel ?

What are you planning for the main saloon lighting?

All DC, no AC. As I have dual 110A batteries, a Split Charger & a DSE 5A AC charger, all will be 12vdc LED.

As for specifics it's not in stone yet - but there will be under-cupboard lights over the sofa & of course for the galley, with one main central light on the ceiling is the most likely scenario.
( I have a 1.5mm pair feed in place for proposed roof fan, so I can tee off that for the ceiling light & sofa downlights, USB charge points etc. While there's another 1.5mm feed in place for the galley cupboards in place).

What are you going to do with the spare wheel ?

Irritatingly my van came with no spare (typical council van - it'll have been dumped in the depot as they'd never change a wheel just call out).
So I have to source one s/h.

Only sensible place I'll have I suspect is to mount one on the rear Nearside door - so that'll need me to weld up a triangulated strengthening frame on the inside somehow, piggy-backed off the door hinge mounts for strength.
(Door itself is properly flimsy thin Tinfoil stuff, so it'd need beefing-up).

I could go without & carry a plug kit & some squirt like I did on my motorcycle tours - but its not that far up my list atm - it's on the back-burner

The last one I did of these years ago we put the spare underneath just behind the rear bumper, I think we used a Nissan Pathfinder bracket which has a wind up chain, drilled a hole in the side bumper for a long removable crank handle to wind it up and down

This is a fwd Master so not lots of clearance under the rear.
Mine also has a sizeable steel extra bumper come step come tow bar (which I may yet remove / modify) - so not sure an under floor spare is the way to go.

Under floor spares are also always a PITA to load/unload, & are inevitably manky af to boot.

A target for theft, too.

You can say that again ! The spare on my Combo van was so rusty, I had to throw it away.

I have got a spare spare for the Master if you need one. Tyre is about ten years old though, but would get you out of trouble.

Finished my Lego lathe today. Came with assembly lube

Got my DC sub-board (blade fuses) for the rear & bed dc stuff hooked up today, & made a start on my water tank.
Grasped the nettle, & got the hole saws out and made holes in my new 6mm Polypropylene water tank.
It's now got a 0-190 ohm float Sender, a Water Gauge to suit, and a Fill Point so you can put a Hozelock straight on (via a stop valve to prevent any spills when unconnected & in transit) - and a 1/2" BSP outlet Valve.

That's very good of you .
There's the small issue that we couldn't be much further apart (East-West) if we tried! You're in Kent, & if I was 30 miles further West I'd be in the Irish Sea

Everything I want is usually at the other end of the country too. I think the nearest I have been to you is Wrexham or Birkenhead. Used to live in Cumbria, but no reason to go up your way ATM.

I'm sure something will turn up locally, as shipping costs are the killer, and they are quite heavy !

If you do go shopping for one though, be careful, because some of the earlier ones had 15 inch wheels that look exactly the same as your 16 inch ones.

It's always been a pleasant part of the country down here, though our powers-that-be in Cardiff are doing their best to wreck it all.
If you do ever get to visit, then I advise you to be Eagle-eyed and super-vigilant once you leave the M4 - cos Carmarthenshire has become "Bandit Country" for the last 10-years, & getting worse (Scamera Bandits are everywhere, and all the new 20mph and other reduced zones means your Licence could be savaged).
I wish I could say I was exaggerating!

I made this box to hold my Mrs' leather crafting kit. It is a surprise for her as she is away this weekend
The lid is held on by magnets. The top right magnet made a bid for freedom but it still works.
