...but none with sharp eyes to see the two welds from previous f...k ups
I noticed them. I assume you'll be carrying on the welding tradition?
Are these blades expensive?
I find them really hard to find, not sure on price. I use them for filing/flatting after lead loading bodywork, doesn't create dust like sanding does which is an issue when working with lead
Cheers,
MM

I'd swear too if I cut my lower leg off.......
Yeah, that would take swearing to a whole new level.
The blades are about 30 £ locally, so yes the Tig will be used again.
Next time I order tools from the US I'll bring a few more. They are 16 $ there, can buy 5 used for 15 $.
Frost sell them to a fair price : https://www.frost.co.uk/standard-bodyfile-blade-body-solder-lead-loading/

It is working.
That was after 10 minutes in the tank.
The solution is good, the amps are good.
I wasn't good.
Left it in two long and trashed it.
Back to drawing board.
Finished off the stand for the bandsaw. Forst off turned the second stub axle
Then fitted both wheels, I did think about straightening the box at the bottom to make it vertical but don't think it needs it really.
Then moved onto trimming the standing legs and fitting the adjustable feet
All finished and recycled the old handle as well

Well, it stated as overboard the ceiling as i put my foot through it and water damage from when the roof leaked
Well it couldn't be that simple the ceiling always had a big bow which was very visually obvious once id boarded it
So cut the old board to allow the new board to sit higher
What a shock its bowed as the roof design has bowed the joist and the web attachment has also twisted it, ill pull it up as much as possible
Which lead to floating the bad bits
On with the plaster
The end result
Totally worth the effort

Looks good for plastering a ceiling (assuming this isn't your trade of course)
Cheers,
MM
Not much choice, really didnt want to lower the ceiling as it would be noticeable into the extension. Catch 22
Flat and egg shell is good enough for a ceiling it wasn't supposed to become a trade i do, some how fell into it 4 years ago have done more than id thought i would

No good.
Been putting it off too long.
Booking a intensive plastering course.
Can screed a floor and render a wall. A weekend should do me for pointers and timing advice
Fed up waiting on plasterers.

Good morning gents.
Yes it's all worth having a go. Some people have a go and seem to get better than the desired result, some don't
. In my neck of the woods I have 'had a go' at many things, even things outside my norm, and have been quite successful. I am very fortunate in the scope of things I get to do and also know my limits. The more you do and are prepared to have a go at, the greater the experience and it makes the next job a little easier. Good on those that are prepared to have a go, even those that aren't so successful they still learn from their experience and live to fight another day

Exactly that, at home if its something superficial whats the worst you can do, cost a your self a bit of time and money. I wouldn't advice a customer to have their ceiling floated to much risk of failure. In my own home its an interesting experiment.
Lifes too short to not try if you are interested, but don't do anything that could kill someone or yourself!

This Britool Socket set was sent to me from a good friend.
Complete, but showing its age.
Has come a long way.
This drill was used to clean up the tin.
This picture is staged.
It is an on going project at MIS. To try and educate members what is not good practise.
A whole H&S nightmare.
In paint.
The sockets and accessories were given a good wire brushing, with a bench mounted wire brush.
Then a rattle can of clear coat.
And finished.

Surplus of wood.
I managed to store most of it.
2 bags from this lot and 2 more from before Christmas could not be stored.
I don't need it for heating the house, just for fun.
Metal recovery.
Get a good hot ember bed, add the metal, with lots of recoverable alloy.
Wait.
The start of the flow.
Many runs now.
The melt was a mixture of items.
Car jack, dead security cameras, power supplies, and 3 small engine bodies.
The first blooms from the first melt of the year.
The second set of blooms.
It total 22kg of clean alloy, 6kg off steel. 1.5kg of copper
The steel is pulled as soon as it is clean. It sucks up the heat.
The copper is left until the fire is dead.
