Stuff you have made today

Handy that!

What did you make it out of?

It's 120x120x5 box section with a bit of 8mm plate on top. A bit of square bar around it incase the jack wants to wander off. The axle is 1m off the ground.

May want some base plate on, otherwise it may push itself into the ground. Unless you are always going to be using it on hard-standing.
Nice job, by the way !

He's doing it all on concrete

Today I made a new peg to support a shelf on a hifi stand as 1 got lost when mum moved house. Unfortunately the brass rod I had was 0.5mm oversize and I don't have a lathe. I turned it down to size by fitting it in the piller drill and running a file against it, before moving on to wet and dry to get to the final size. Then it was just a quick heat and couple of blows from a hammer before filing to final shape. Now I just need a rubber pad to finish it off.

Today I hacked up a part of the table I made the last day, skipper decided it needed to be wider so had to add on another 75mm at the front, also had to extend the bait box.
Got some 10mm plate cut and welded at the hauler and the rest of the 5mm round the top of the table and a few wear sections added infront of the roller.

Also fitted a rope guide to the front of the shooting table, it will also act as a stop for the bongo so that it can be tied in.

This week I made and fitted half a roof on a concrete batching plant. When it’s sheeted it is supposed to keep the dust from blowing off the aggragates

Thanks. Started off with solid square bar and then using the mill and rotary table copied the pattern. Not something I do very often so I was quite pleased with the result.

Shish Kebab Grill.
It took me all afternoon to make this 107cm X 55cmm grill for a local kebab house.
30x 30 X 5 angle iron frame.
12mmØ bars for the grill; which slope 8mm from one side to the other to allow the hot oil to clear.
10mmØ for the lifting handles.

This morning my customer told me that last night he and is staff really liked cooking on the new grill and he has ordered two more to be ready and in use by next weekend.

I don't do freebies from customers..... only suppliers.

Shame, a decent kebab can be hard to beat .

Made a stand for one of my infra-red heaters. The base is a 15kg gear I salvaged off site. I hammered an ally plug in one end of a piece of tube and that is a slip-fit in the bearing. Turned another plug for a slip-fit in the tube and bolted that to the heater.

Today I made my old faithful Hitachi 115 grinder die

Looked back the receipts and had it over 11 years and it has been abused daily so I can't complain.
I have a second one I bought recently but it is a cheaper made thing so I don't hold out much hope that it will last as long although maybe they do different versions of 115 grinders, they certainly do with the 230mm ones.
