Mostly , a start upon some entertaining patternmaking for a BSA Bantam cylinder head casting.
A bit more progress on the thicknessing sander. Finished machining the drum and its shaft, with a couple of semi-circular buttons to hold the abrasive strip. And made an adjustable motor mounting plate. I’m sure I’ve got a little v belt somewhere but blowed if I can find it so I’ve ordered a new one. Now it needs a guard for the belt drive and a guard/dust extractor hood to go over the drum, which I think will be 3D printed D-shaped ends and a sheet aluminium cover bent round in a semi-circle. If I’m feeling adventurous I might tig a bit of tube onto it for the shop-vac.

That's looking good
Some holes to mount the drives -
Servo drive spacing isn't ideal, but I can't be bothered with adding another cabinet to free up space in this one.
Should get a couple deliveries tomorrow, so I can replace the bits of paper with real items, and get a better feel for how the top of the cabinet will be laid out.
Then I need to start thinking about wiring strategies, and what other bits I'll need to get it all wired up in some kind of non-chaotic way.

Yes it was a very new Sthil , it had a chain brake that worked , first thing I checked when I got back from the A&E session . Had John got a proper hold of the saw with his left hand it would have tripped before it hit his safety hat , I guess he put the trigger on to full belt just before he stuffed the bar into the hedge and being right handed hung on tight with his right hand as it ran up the wood & old rusty wire .
What do you do when the soldering iron doesn't quite cut it with thick wires and rc connectors?
Mad max the tip to the blowtorch and enjoy the sub 10s warmup
Also turns out shorting a 6s lipo is like staring directly at a welder and an effective way to flashbang yourself.

Did you photo scan an original larger model then shrink it to size ready for printing before pulling a print ?

I found a free model on Thingiverse (3d scan) and resized it in Halot Box

Why do you need to hold the spring in? and that spring should not need any mechanical aid to compress it unless someone has put a big spacer in
Ive not had one of these apart before, so had no idea how much push would be needed, the push it in with a screwdriver seemed like it needed 3 hands to do it but theres only 2 here. and Im just too crumby for playing hunt the wire clip when it goes flying, or catching fork springs. Also my welder is on its summer holidays at a mates house and I needed an excuse to go visiting as theyve had some bad newsWhy do you need to hold the spring in? and that spring should not need any mechanical aid to compress it unless someone has put a big spacer in

All the bits back from the powder coaters so fastened the brackets on the wall, with the weight hanging I fully expect to see the actual wall on the floor tomorrow!
Hopefully this will mean the end of faffing around on my hands and knees trying to change bench presses and I can just use the one I need for the job, installed (or swapped out) in minutes:
The blue one, the Dillon, needs a complete refurb but I have a couple of kits in stock, a job for the weekend I think.

boilers down at moment and ive found a part but i want new and im not paying 200.00 or more either for a pump
ive already been told its obsolite and boiler wants changing
yeah right its a pump and theres plenty of parts still available for it
found an alternative pump 100.00 but it changes a value by a small amount due to hole size so not as economical as original part
so as a chilly house ive pulled out the homemade candle heater and to say its heating up a 15ft square room isnt bad with 2 4hr tealight candles
a note it gets fresh air when i get for a new brew and also theres a fresh air leak into the room from cavity so no risk of carbon monoxide

Yes!
Today removing a small sycamore, got it down to a stump but they wanted it very low. The boss brushed all the dirt back, nothing of any risk visible. Cutting with the new saw and chain, which was cutting very well. At half way, ping, the sound of a ruined chain
There was a thin, green plastic coated steel wire, running up along side the trunk, both us us cant believe that we missed it.
What do the different presses do?
