One don't need much of OCD to feel this is wrong

Fixed

Might have to do something with the blue handle though

 

[Hopefuldave]

Wot, no yellow lid clips to be had?

Today I am supervising at the Mini MIS.
The engine is in bits, broken bits, dirty bits and:
"What is this bit TYA?"

But I digress.



Not made by me, assembled to the machine by me.
Thank you @Chillitt


But a dam good edge on it as well.



Wooden Mallet, why I hear @Parm asking.

I needed a short heavy wood one to drive apart my new to me planes.
I had the wood, I had the time I had the coffee.



The tins are a odd mix. They did not come up as good as I hoped. But they are preserved and back in use holding things.




Yes.
Cleaned up true as well and has a fine and extra fine sides to it.
This one was boiled in water with washing soda.
Did a good job. It was wrapped in a cotton rag to protect it.




One Heavy duty AVO cleaned up and saved from being a book end.
Now is working, but I do need to source the correct battery for it.
The case, the clips the leads the..........

Looks like the run of from a metal melt.
That is because it is.
That is just 25% of last nights melt.

All the ash, half burnt wood and coke and the odd bits from the melt was gathered up and recycled.
By using a Benghazi burner method.




Going nicely, the steam is rising and a run has started. Lets ramp it up.



Blown air, third charge on top and away we went.

Made a wooden platform under the trailer chassis for out of sight storage of paraphernalia this morning, and a fine job it turned out to be.

However, as I was extricateing myself to take a photo I failed miserably to avoid banging my noggin on a cross member, an air tank, and a rope hook . By the time I'd calmed down, after turning the air blue whilst doing a credible impression of John Cleese and his Austin 1100, I'd forgotten what I'd got out for .

this week i had some workshop time so made a pair of runners that will carry the doors for a steam locomotive fire box,
made by laminating flat stock, the outer lengths were drilled then the whole lot plug welded together.
quite a few more jobs to do on the loco but getting there....

Fibre Laser?

 

[Aesgarth]

I've made nothing today. But I did manage to refit the exhaust to my car. It wasn't a pleasant job.

 

[Hopefuldave]

I've made... 4.5 MegOhms of insulation resistance, 10 gallons of clean transformer oil, an icecream tub full of slimy gunge soaked up with sawdust and nearly 3 gallons of filthy indescribable ex-rain-water from my phase convertor's transformer tank, I wonder why it was tripping the RCD...

I think I'd better get the Tuit out and build it a hutch to live in.

That a leaf spring you're annealing in there, too?

[sako243]

I made a big sheet of ali go into a hole that was a bit too small for it...

Then ran out of M6 bolts so it's secure but not as secure as it should be.

Dave H. (the other one)

Not a leaf spring. But Old, but new to me spring steel to bend into shape for a Canal water pump.
Attempt 2.

Going back to old ways, as modern methods made it look to new and out of place.

 

[jimbo84]

Lots of ash, the mesh did little to stop it, ended up covered in it. I was doing the accounts

Fibre Laser?

no 5kw co2 fiber coming after Easter

 

[Memmeddu]

So today I did clean almost all my tools , made order and little bit of space on the shelves
Just because I have nothing to do since I'm in lockdown so ....

[DennisCA]

Started on a welding cart, I am making it very basic. Just wheels on a base and a place for the gas bottle. Still planning on adding hooks for all the cables and some way to strap the gas bottle to the pipe in the back.

Note I welded outside, which means I have go through the woodworking section of my shop to get it outside. But I did not do the welding where the picture was taken, in case anyone thinks I am planning to burn my shop down.

 

[Memmeddu]

What's that?

 

[Hopefuldave]

What's that?

Art!
