Stuff you have made today

[Onoff]

Today I made a trip to the pub.

In my defence I was on site this morning at 05.15hrs.

 

[Blobber]

Been a long day but rowed the hay up with the new to us haybob

Got about 650 bales, 350 have been sold and collected off the field the rest we've stashed

Would you imagine I've just passed an English class for work and got a B2 level

Your English is good but as a heads up another option would have been to have not inserted between I've and done, so it would be Today I've not done anything

 

[Onoff]

Would you believe I've just passed an English class for work and got a B2 level?

A suggested correction. However I wish my Italian was as good as your English.

@Memmeddu I was just trying to help.

You communicate well.

It's enticing them into the van is the problem...

Haven't you heard the instructive dodgy kidnapper poem?

"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I've got a knife,
GET IN THE VAN!!!!

 

[Kram]

In November I had a couple of chains to sharpen but after they were dirty with tree resin and dirt (cutting stumps low). I let them soak in a tub of diesel until today.

Covered in rusty smeg.

I guess there was water in the diesel. Soaked them in hot citric for 15 mins then scrubbed it off and now soaking in a tub of fresh chain oil!

I've noticed my mistake and I was joking about it.
Something I'm used to do .
I'm the kinda person who is pretty hard with himself, I don't accept my mistakes easily.
It's needed for self-improvement.
But it's a self sabotage behaviour too
So what I do to feel them smaller is to joke about them.
Now that's not the case cause it's such of a minimal mistake not even mine but of the keyboard autocorrection .
Mostly every times you'll see missing words, double words, it's instead of its, and a whole lot of other errors in my replies.
90% of the times these errors are not mine but the correction thinks I'm saying something prior to have even finished to write it, and the corrector swap words ,removes and writes nonsense things

finished modifying this flail mower, cut the wheels off and moved them from the sides to behind it, to get closer to fences etc,
but the main upgrade was going from one belt and a centrifugal clutch that couldnt cope with the power, to a 3 belt setup with homemade tensioner, not the prettiest, but it works great, and i had fun with my lathe!!

the thing is a weapon now!! certainly no more belt slippage!

Your English is way better than my non existing Italian . I must admit that I have spotted some of your mistakes in the past but didn’t want to point them out to you, in case you took it as criticism

Most of the English can't speak/write English properly (me included sometimes), you do a better job than a lot of us

An ignorant would do that.
Someone aware its English isn't the best would take the correction as a way to improve.
I don't take those things too seriously .
But I can understand why...
People are constantly seeking an excuse to explode their anger through a keyboard.
I'd avoid to do that myself too .

Hopefully I've used the right words to make you understand what I mean.
Cause sounds little confusing right now

First part made on the Denford Novamill yesterday. Took a couple of goes to get a decent CAM setup but pretty happy with the results. It's not a quick machine but it gets the job done

Orange part is 3D printed prototype. Its a crosshead droplink for a 5" gauge Britannia in case you were wondering!

I drilled the holes on my manual mill and added some pins through to the ally bar underneath and the two are held together with super-duper glue. Worked a treat.

 

[nickk]

Railings on some retaining walls,hard work ,with the heat,no shade,plus the gradient,meant every footstep caused a mini landslide,all grouted in 200mm.

I understand that puppies are favourite. Sort of I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

[Paulbarrett]

Knocked up this tailpipe for one of my employees on his jacked up landrover disco monster truck. thing lol. I’m no welder by any stretch but have all the gear and….. Not my cup of tea but Itl keep him happy as a sand boy for a while.

 

[My Old Landy]

I made this today for a colleague as he sent me the picture. The material is a 300mm long slate platter.

 

[Memmeddu]

Lost my place in paradise this evening.
Tomorrow my car has MOT.
I've had to repair the exhaust pipe.
Unfortunately the bolts are rounded off, I should cut and drill under the car, and weld new ones.
Not enough time or will power to do that.
I'm extremely tired on the last period, I've had health problems, plus a whole lot of work in the machine shop.
Even today it has been a hard day , with a lot of work to be done in a hurry.
Anyways
Lifted the rear end of my car, placed the columns under the sill and the rear suspension just in case.
Left the car lift holding part of the weight .
Not enough space for the trolley.
So put the good old cardboard under the car so at least I wasn't laying on the hot asphalt.
I've bought one of those CRC exhaust repair bandages .
Useless waste of money .
Practically a thin sheet of aluminium you have to wrap around the hole ,then a rigid theoretically self adhesive carbon fiber bandage, which has to be wrapped onto the aluminium patch .
This thing is hard as hell ,it would not wrap around the pipe without breaking .
It doesn't have any adhesive on it so it will not stay in place .
Then you have to use steel wire to secure it, well again not enough wire length to secure it properly.
Ended up using zip ties.
It has to last few hours then it can even get lost on the road, I don't care.
It would have been faster if I had cut a patch out of a coca cola can and mig welded in place.
Another thing is done .
A lot of other things to do

 

[JMS1972]

Bit of an upgrade for the Denford Micromill. The original motor is FUBAR so the previous owner made an adapter plate from Mild Steel so they could use a palm router this weighs 1.1kg!

I've made an Aluminium replacement this afternoon should save about 660g. Its more in keeping with the Sherline Milling machine which uses ally for most of its parts

Hopefully should prevent the odd Z axis issues the previous owner mentioned.

New part on the machine old part in foreground did I mention it's weighty!
