Best one was her and her brother in the field next door, stalking the donkey.
Had this image of them trying to get it through the cat flap “you push, I’ll pull!”

What type of cats? Tigers?

Standard moggies we adopted when the were about 12 weeks old, and completely feral.
And utter psychos when it came to small furry creatures.

Got back to the workshop at 4pm today and decided to cut the bits for a hanging block I will be making. Had some 3mm 316 so onto the plasma with it. I would normally use 5mm but I didn't have any and the boat it is for is only 19ft so 3mm will be fine.
I had cut an extra front plate so that I could weld two together as that will be the weakest part. Once welded I bored out to 25mm on the Chiron and also bored out the back plate to 20mm. Whilst the Chiron was doing that I cut and faced off a piece of 3" Alu tube to act as a spacer for holding things true whilst welding.
Still have top and bottom plates to weld on and then make a pin, roller and swivel eye

Made my brother in law happy today helping him with his Willy's Jeep transfer box.
The castllated nut on the shaft wouldn't budge and he ripped the vice off his bench abusing it with a breaker bar!I've got a bigger vice and bench!

The original casing was cracked and badly welded in a couple of places so the green one above was bought to repair it.
He didn't bring the right socket with him so I had to modify a 33mm one on the lathe to fit in the yoke. Yes I know it should be an "American" size but it's all we had.View attachment 203930
Got the nut hot with the MAPP gas and gave it a rattling with the air wrench but it wouldn't budge so got it hotter and tried the breaker bar and it moved!!!
We then pressed the shaft out with my 12 ton press that I haven't used in over 2 years
Here's the other side.
We then stripped down the old one to keep some of the parts as it's an original MB Jeep so quite rare.
He was very happy and promised me beer in the near future!

It’s quite satisfying to play with big toys that don’t get used much

kids are not going to be very happy with you when they realise you pinched the giant jenga to use as an anvil standI had a chance to cut the rest of my welding tabes legs cut, capped and fitted with M20 captive nuts.

I also got the 100x50x10mm chopped up for the frame of the table. It’s going to be very heavy.
