All very nice, but.............

You left the key in.

By the time you have read this I have stolen it.

Not the Toilet roll, but everything else.

2 screws are all that's holding it in place anyway. And as for the lock I can pick it almost as quickly as I can open it with the key so it's not that secure at the best of times.

Hot renal colics for the entire day
Might be cos yesterday I've moved my old buzz box around (40Kg)
Anyway I can't go to the hospital because it's closed because the personal is positive

Just what I was thinking, it needs security screws or a blob of weld in the Philip's heads.

Got paid for the chainsaw repair
He was unsatisfied ,I don't care
He wants to much for what he pay

 

[Aesgarth]

A noise.

Which is extremely satisfying since the last time this car made a noise like that was September 2014

 

[Fraserb]

More light fitting.

 

[cianh91]

Nothing major and I’m by no means a chippy but it’s perfect for what it’s for . It’s for the middle seat in the van as most days we eat in the van so something a bit more rigid for making tea and so on

 

[cianh91]

Not pretty but threw together quickly as was needed 2mm 316

(Re)Organising the garage a bit, made the white thing more pics to follow when I've finished

Not pretty but threw together quickly

When I saw the 1st pic, I thought it was a holder for the Izal.

 

[Tupers]

It looks like I might not have much to do for a while so I dug out my Suzuki and stated back making the tail unit. If nothing else it’ll mean lots of english wheel practice. I definitely need more thin alu TIG practice as well.

 

[selectedgrub]

Yes.

Part 2:





Electrical enclosures liberated from the skip at (ex) work before retiring, one for the vfd and one for oils. Just need a couple of terry clips to hold the grease guns if I can squeeze them in

Hopefully made enough space to fit a window

This has been in build for a few days now.



But Sunday I had it finished.

It was a fun build.

So, we put it to use.
A plane I have restored to a known condition. Waxed and oil to a good state.


Placed in the tank and "Meths." added to the tray. Then it was sealed and left.


Removed and dried. Then a good oiling is taking place.



Round 2.
Is to take another plane, not restored, but a known state.



Tank sealed, fresh "Meths". Now we wait.
The plan is to see if time works better over heat.
Or is heat better than time.

Thank you @Chillitt

Can you explain the method and workings of the tank and for what use?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Can you explain the method and workings of the tank and for what use?

The fumes form a vapour and rise.
They condense on the item to be cleaned. Forming a liquid.
Gravity takes over and the fluid flows down to the tank.
Taking the muck, grime, wax and oil with it.

Then the dirt remains in the tray and the fumes rise again.
Think "Trike" tank in a paint shop for cleaning metal.

 

[Lazurus]

And does it work ok?

So far yes.

I could do the same with a brush.
This way I can set the item up and leave it in the tank when I am at work.

The fumes from the "meths" will steep into all the nooks and get into the hard to reach places.

Temperature will make a difference, but maybe that will be cancelled out with time.

I have seen "Trike" tanks cleaning metal in paint shops. I have seen bigger versions in a Wood restoration workshop.

So we thought, why not try and build one.

The item in the tank now, is unloved, unwanted and un-restored.
So it is covered in dirt, wax and oil of ages.

This will prove it is a viable plan.
So far it is looking good
