Thought I would turn my hand to carpentry.

So, back chambering barrels again today. Thought I would show you how I set up to cut the barrel tenon and chamber. Please understand, the pictures are set up for this post and the coolant is turned off.
So, barrel centered and tenon cut and threaded:
So, screwing the Barrel Extension on, a great deal of any machining process is all about jigs fittings and tooling. This is a barrel extension wrench I have made just for this task, it clamps tight around the extension and has a square 1/2" hole for a ratchet:
This is a bit of tooling that is made and marketed by a guy in the US and is essentially a micrometer depth guage for a chambering reamer:
The chamber depth is critical, I usually manage to get within 0.001 :
PLENTY and I mean plenty of cutting oil is fed through the barrel under pressure, but it looks like my fitting is going to need replacing, started to leak now:-(

We've been spending more time outside with this nice weather, the table we had was a bit rotten and there were two pallets in a skip in the front garden, rude not to!

Looks great, you could easily pass that off as "Art" and sell them for the garden. :-)

Made is overstating it, I have assembled a new fleet of mowers from parts and collections various and diverse. Thank you very much, you know who you are. Hayterette has a new engine, needs a better blade which will happen at some point. Suffolk has had an engine swap, starts very nicely and is learning to obey commands... both have just cut their first lawn in quite some time. Its what Sundays are for.
My dad had an earlier version of that Hayterette, ran over a garden trowel buried in the grass with a 6 year old me toddling along behind him. It shot out between his legs and buried itself in my shin. I’ve still got the scar.

Made a nice "Patina" as some would say on a old miners hammer.

Not found any makers marks on it which is disappointing I'm sure there is a good story behind this, it is quite the hammer will have to get out the trusty scale mug tomorrow and get a better photo.

@doubleboost , it's the point when you get the vernier callipers out I pi$$ed myself laughing!
Absolutely superb, you have surpassed yourself and engineering spam sandwiches.

How do you know it's a miners hammer?
Today I made a door open that had gone into lockdown.
With great precision I removed the quarter light.

Still wouldn't open from the inside so I carefully removed the lock.

I was going to point out that with the transits the front quarter window is only rubbered in. And with correct technique can be removed from the outside without damage if needed.
(Even some of the mobile banks didnt change this either
)
