It is comparatively thin / long piece you were turning, unless it was supported it would be getting a bit bendy which will not have helped the finish.

No ,converted barn follows the groun contours,annoying,but I forgot to photograph the oak behind ,allegedly one of the largest in southern UK,with a girth of 40’ .Nice! A converted chapel?
When I see bracken like that I think of ticks.

Hay-on-wye, some green stuff there. A good job for a chain saw, hedge trimmer and a mulcher

Knocked up a press out of some scrap I section and an old scaffold leg. Untested as yet, that will be for tomorrow once I get an end on the screw. No mugs handy so safety gegs for scale. Some of the welding is a bit questionable

good morning gents, just some 'stuff' I have been doing over the last few weeks
Had the plasma out to do some 6mm alli angle brackets. Had a dxf file given to me for 32 out of a 1200 by 2400mm sheet. Plasma did quite well and the nested file was also good, minimal wastage
once the plates were cut it was off to the new toy ' recently aquired'. Q-Fin top grinder
A closer look
NICE uh
Also has to put new wear plate and hard facing onto two trawl boards form one of the local fishing boats. Here it is completed with new S/S swivel pins and bar, grease nipples fitted that work ready to return tomorrow
These boards weigh almost 700kg each, so you don't want them to drop on you foot

The counterbored side had to remain,whilst the opposite side,with the concave ,was the surface that needs reducing.
I welded it to a slug of mild steel,roughed it with a grinder within 60 thou,then faced it on the lathe.
Forgot to take a photo of the finished washer,which I did on the linisher.

Combined mill table and tool storage
Made a simple drawing to get a list of lengths to cut.
Tacking the frame together.
Added four double rollers rated to 100 kg each
Preparing to paint by roughing the surfaces with a 40 grit paper.
a rattle can and some wood makes magic
Added a hole plate to hold the most common tools and electrics

I seem to have loads of bike tyres to change so made this.
Also finally got the lathe on its stand
What kind of lathe is that?
