It'll make it more satisfiying knowing I did that instead of paying someone don't get me wrong if love to have a mill but I need a good on to pop up local that would have made this a cakewalkExcellent
That takes me back, used to do crazy things like that in my early days when I had very little in the way of tooling

Required more.You don’t need any patience when you have 27 squillian lathes and milling machines
Tap and die holder.
Need a fixed steady.
Start modifying one I aquired.
Casting snaps.
Decide to build one from scratch.
Give me a month and il be ready to finish the holder.

I don’t have a tap or die holder for the lathe, but dad showed me how to use what I’ve got. Perfect results every time
Ps I ain’t been in the workshop for two weeks. Flipping exams and revision. One more week to go and a new BBQ is happening

Aye. Can and have used what ive got but fancied the build. Good practice too and plenty of stock to use.
Let me know if/when you need that cat ladder mate. Forgot all about it

Too busy reading about pace codes and other boring stuff to worry about cat ladder just yet

Not as bit of it, you make your own luck. The golfer Gary Player used to spend hours practising bunker shots [notoriously difficult to perfect as any 'mere mortal' will attest] and didn't leave until he'd holed a certain percentage of them.
His reasoning? The more he practised, the luckier he got.

Part of my house tidy left me with a lot of old Cd ROM's.
What to do with them and some spare time.
Simple, wind driven bird scarier.
It has a tail fin on it, so it can rotate and face the wind.

Is it more effective than your mankini at scaring the birds off.

not today but ive put another metal shelf up in place
ive built two shelves one where I work and one for home use both 2mm 1 1/2" box section welded with arc welder
able to hold my weight on a 2 meter span
heres my daughter having a go after they where built only skimming the oil of the metal before painting with a flap disk
i ended up putting her hair into her jacket out of the after telling her enough times yo do so
after my shelf fitted before i starting to sort stuff out in the shed optima you will recognize the paint used
the shelf is 700mm wide so i can stack 1 meter lengths on it all above head height so no chance of hitting yourself or knocking yourself out
photo shows this to be so
I need to buy a new 1/2" board to fit on the shelf as what i had in wasnt long enough
i also need to strengthen this side up with either a post from floor or a leg from the 7" beam I think also a leg is needed down from the other beam
after a good tidy up in there slowly getting there again
I can move again in there been wanting this for a while that milling machine has a 3ft footprint in total with an 18" threaded rod to hold a milling cutter in it
only place i can think of is to take a corner up with it
ive also decided that im going to put the pillar drill at end of the welding table as allows me to drill in longer lengths spin round and drill the other side of length
