Stuff you have made today

[Aesgarth]

Probably the wrong place for this as no metal was formed in the making of this but...

Started with a Google home mini, 2 old jamo speakers, a computer PSU and a car amplifier. Somewhere between several and many hours later and this is what I've ended up with...
Google home in the top, voice and touch control still work. The rest just makes it louder.

Not made today,but last December,as they’re now top coated I’ve photographed them,I used 30 solid square,50/12 convex,with a 16 square stiffening underneath,all galvanised,then resined into stone.

I like the design of them, simple and look great. Bet they were a bit weighty lifting into position.

Not really telling the truth there, you were using clamps and a BFH.

I will send you some photos from my 1930s steel pipe book, it has all the ways pipe was hung

I thought I’d post here instead @spencer 427 as others may enjoy these pics. These are from Stewarts and Lloyds Section S - steam pipes. 1938 rerun of the 1934 catalogue.

 

[Dieselman 63]

These are from the 1950 catalogue - note no more big cast iron support brackets.

Last part of a roller system I have been fitting to a boat was to make a rope keeper to retain the rope in the sheeves when a knot passes through them. When there is a lot of strain on the rope there isn't usually a need for the keeper but in shallow water the rope can have slack on it at times and without the keeper the rope can jump out of the sheeves.

Parts for the keeper.

What it looks like assembled.

Forgot to take a snap of it after it was fitted

A real round-tuit job, filling my shell damaged Record 643 vice with JB Weld. One more application to go, then this little thing is done. Such a shame it happened in the first place (I bought it like that!) as this is a top vice for the bench drill.

Unfortunately they do get abused. See a lot for sale with holes drilled everywhere.

It’s more a milling vice than drilling I think as there’s no hole for the drill to go. I have a monster machine vice on the way which will be better for the drill.

Finally got a bit time to make something with the horseshoes I received. Also it’s the first time the huts have been organised enough to allow me to sandblast the metal, cut the metal, and weld it, without having to drag stuff back and forth.

I know it’s a basic project, but it’s hopefully now the first of many.

Is it my inner child, or do they look a bit rude They are for hanging gun rigs on.

 

[Lazurus]

Its your inner child Cool idea though.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Let your Inner child out.

If I let mine out I can tell you it’ll be pointing in the opposite direction
