No wheeling

Wassat?

Finally, I finished the red squirrel feeder . Tbh, it was starting to annoy me kicking about in the cave, but it's dropped off and now I can move on to the next thing in the line. Not 100% happy as I kept changing my mind on the design, but at least it's gone...... (Pics don't show it clearly , but there's a 'stem' at the back so that it can be hung up if necessary)





As I was going up the drive to their house, what was running ahead of me? A beautiful red squirrel !!

Nice job
But should you really be encouraging squirrels to get addicted to caffeine?

Wheeling, using what the Americans call an English Wheel but is know as a wheeling machine by the English. Or so I'm told.

 

[Hood]

You can't say that without make us curious
Please tell us more about , which kind of chuck you use ?

Did a quick vid to show the operation of the Forkardt F type chuck.

This is the other side of the shed in my last post, the garden backs onto some massive conifers, in an effort to make the most of the space, this roof should catch the dead leaves and pigeon poo. It's not square (The space it covers isn't) and not as solid as I'd have liked but was done on a bit of a budget. Again Baloo thought he was helping.

Hope u were not standing on that.
I'd have run two 9x2 as per the current joists then used 2x4 I. Between cross wise to stop the sag and keep the materials down

Even 6x2 on the edges would have helped and nail a batten on to support the 2*4

 

[Barking Mat]

I fixed my mower pulley. First excuse to get the Tig out in ages.

The LIDL, helmet I bought 2 months ago, has stopped working, bugger.

And I've forgotten how to weld.

But it worked. Used to have 6 miniscule spot welds.

That's Baloo guarding the shed, he's been "helping".

Seeing Baloo I'd have thought you'd be a M...akita man not DeWalt...

9x2 might be pushing it a bit but I agree this is very under-built, no way was I standing on it. The conifers will keep the snow off it so it shouldn't ever really have much load on it, plus it's better than the bed frame sat on hanging basket brackets in the top right of the second picture.

I don't do heights well so always build roofs strong
What's the span out of curiosity

It's about a 10 foot span but only 8 foot has the sheeting on it, I may well have to bulk it up next year, should have used at least 2x5 according to that chart.

I've replaced a few like that. Always increased in size as I replaced with full size twinwall and needed to climb on top.
Saw one done out of 2x4 and the halfwit had used lap joints on to the trimmers reducing it's strength for an already weak roof

I seem to be doing more and more round stuff at the moment and never got trammels to suit...
So knocked up this little setup.
Centre point, sliding on 8mm bar, and a holder for pen or scribe, plus the addition of a copper cutter on the end so it can be used to trim plastic coating on sheets neatly.
Knocked up a large nylon pivot for it too, so it can be used with larger holes as the centre.

this roof should catch the dead leaves and pigeon poo.

If the wind gets under that plastic roofing, it'll be difficult to stop the damage it's capable of doing to it.
Is there any way of preventing a gale getting a hold unde there?

Sheds and fences on all 4 sides should shield it from the wind a bit, I might suggest she chucks a couple of bricks up there if it gets a bit blustery.
