Stuff you have made today

I have been looking at the tail box I made for the bike and the downside to it was the lock and catch were taking up a lot of internal space.
I did a bit of searching and found this which looked perfect.

So I took out the lock and immediately I could pack more stuff in.

In the 3 drybags I have a small toolkit, puncture plug kit, pump, pressure gauge and jump starter, so pretty happy as that was all the stuff I used to carry in the Kriega.

Now all I need to do is make a new lid, weld a plate for mounting the lock then get it powder coated.
Oh you can also see the neoprene seal I tested out, it will make it water tight as well so the dry bags are probably not even needed.

I carry one of these as they are so small, tested but not used in anger.

I have one of these, it was £30. I have used it 2 times so far on punctures on friends bikes when we have been on runs, never on mine.
Used it plenty of times to top up car/van/bike tyres and so far it has been great. Holds the charge well and if I needed could charge from the bike.

@Hood what thickness of plate is it?

It is 5mm, would have preferred 2 or 3mm but 5mm is the thinnest I have.

I’ve made a deep drive socket for tightening/ slackening the nuts on field gate crooks. Used a draper 30mm socket cut in half and then the two bits welded onto a five inch bit of steel tubing. No pictures, got too engrossed in what I was doing!

Mostly, some split -turned core print pattern ends for a two- stroke cylinder barrel that I am intent on casting.
Superglue was very much my friend....
