Wee anvil stand for the mini 80lb RDG anvil.

Leftover bits of sleeper and flatbar from a veg planter project - which has turned into a highly successful caterpillar breeding centre that I'm having nowt to do with....



Screwed up, palm sander top & bottom nice and flat, splodged lashings of creosote



All in place for the next hairbrained plan involving heat, lumps of copper and BFH

Is that the Ridgid anvil from Amazon? Planning on using the offcut of oak beam as a base/stand for mine.

Paint your own nails like that.

Paint your own nails like that.

It's not in my style....
Story born when she asked me how she should paint her nails...
She said she wanted different colours but asked for something original
I was a full time sparky at the time soo

That anvil looks really good - as I recall they were an absolute steal on Amazon weren't they! Shame I didn't buy one

Well not today but Wednesday/Thursday I set out to lay the dividing head out to flute some barrels, one in particular and it came out well, the extension was, in Dan's words "shonky" :


Well, the barrel is 26" and I think the whole table is less than that, add the dividing head and tailstock and I think I can accommodate a 14" barrel.







Someone came round to see me at lunchtime so I stopped, I was thinking to run the narrower flutes at the front again but I had to go out, I think I will quit while I am ahead, I only need it to fall off the tailstock and hours of work are gone!

 

[Kram]

Nice work. It does amaze me to see milling fixtures held by two tiny bolts, or one and a clamp.. If I tried that something would certainaly move without me noticing and ruin the part.

Made my part against wind turbines assault here in Sardinia
Went to my city hall and signed against this insanity.
They are installing 1570+ wind turbines everywhere here .
Destroying entire forests, expropriating lands, avoiding us to even get a foot there, they are installing them in the sea too near to the beaches, killing our tourism industry, our fishing industry, destroying our beautiful environment.
Again avoiding us to cross those designated areas.
Those turbines will not even provide electricity to us , but they are meant to provide electricity everywhere else even Algeria but not a single watt to Sardinia...
Another big consequence noone is paying attention to is that those turbines will cause a big problem, very big.
Sardinia is famous for our wild forest fires, well those turbines will cause a lot of problems to our canadairs which have to flight longer to land and fill their tanks with sea water , and their effectiveness is drastically reduced both by fuel autonomy, time between sorties and "bombing height" .
More than half of the water dropped will be evaporated prior to touch the ground.
Because if we consider 400m tall towers plus the 180m long fins
Planes cannot fly below 800m to be safe .
Helicopters are just cut out of the equation because they can't even operate .

Sorry for the rant but not even national news tell what's happening here, we are alone .
People is already talking about bad things if you understand what I mean (not Cesar, not even Mussolini succeeded to do what he wanted here )

The tallest wind turbine in the world is 250m including the blades...
