Stuff you have made today

[Hood]

Some sort of anchor

bit light though

Nope.

It is a device to help me because my knees are knackered and also my finger joints are getting worse so can't lift/grip things as before.

Makes it much easier to get the cylinders into the back of the car as I have a handle to grip rather than just trying to hold onto the rounded base of the cylinder.

Been making it around other stuff for a while now, managed to get it hammered into the ground today. 25x25x2mm square hollow section, 10mm round bar used for the hooks, the tray is a pizza oven tray hooks and tray are bolted into the square section to allow it to be hammered into the ground. It'll have some bird feeders on it when I fill them up.

I hope it's not like my neighbour's feeder, crows bullying the smaller birds.

Not seen any crows but we have pigeons and magpies round here, they'll be doing any bullying if there is any I'd imagine.

We don't get magpies up here, I wonder if it's too cold for them?

Yes, plus easy pickings down here.

@Hood , that's some beautiful welding! Even if you slipped.

They are on their way When I lived in Perth in about 1990 there were loads but in Carnoustie just 40 or so miles away I had never seen one, now they are seen here and are increasing in numbers.

Ta, sometimes it is good, others not so good

Finally, finished off the plasterboarding in our bedroom, I'd planned to fit wooden c section round the door frames to our his n hers walk in wardrobes, but seeing as every hardware shop is shut and would have cost in the region of 60 quid, I was reticent. So yesterday I whacked some 76mm strips of plasterboard round the internal door frames, and podged, then today sanded, only I forgot to turn the vacuum on, before I realised, I couldn't see from one side of the room to the other. It then took me 40 minutes to Hoover the room before I dare tell Wifie what id I'd done. Oh well, bedding changed, looks good for a complete amateur I think.

@barking mat

Nice, but you missed a bit.

Nope, that was where the projectile that his wife threw at him landed

 

[Barking Mat]

Obviously, lifes too short, and I'm not a perfectionist.

But after 4 years, we have a bedroom! And wardrobes!

You'd think that would cheer up t'other half.

Anyway, what was that saw you stuck a handle on, what's that for.

I get that gasket paper in the post tomorrow, I'm going out!

 

[Barking Mat]

Oh, that's where I put a plug hole in the wrong place, I thought you were referring to the 'slight' gap around the beam.

Perfectionism is for when I'm older and bored, can't see that happening.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

The brass Tap item.

Was meant to be away for a few days, so Took some bits with me to clean it up.

But, due to one thing and another I didn't do it when I was away.
Ok. I took a short cut and painted the handle before I left.

So, instead off Brasso and a rag, it was a buffing wheel.

I was joking and thank you.

made some nice magic smoke today

Wire brushing a subframe might have been a bit harsh on this elderly grinder.

What was it in a previous life

A bit off a digger or dumper?
