Stuff you have made today

[northwest]

Finished the last of my slab sided AR15 uppers today and I am now into my new made here AR straight pull curved sided uppers. I was buying the slab sided ones in, I am making (in conjunction with a friend) the newer style ones and engraving them myself. Having a whale of a time getting my head around the CAD/CAM but I guess there is no better time than present.



Will post a few pics of the finished items tomorrow.

Storage envy.

Storage envy.

Speaking of which

Coat hook, branch thing. Increased the hanging capacity by 19.6%. Wife chuffed, so much so that promises were made.

I forgot to post these up last week.
The main form of my tail section is done but I still need to enclose the underside and mount it.

Today I also had a play and made my first front mudguard in steel. I need to buy some more aluminium but my go to for half sheets is closed so I need to make some calls tomorrow.

This has been my place of work last 3 days,been on the order books since December,so as the workshop is quieter I’m catching up on site work,not hard to keep 2 m apart round these parts!
Safety rails and railings,around the wheel,handrail down to the wine cellar.
The wheels still working so care needed and it’s slimy,wheel stopped in ww2,now making electricity,all the machining and fabrication by me in 2010/11,nice going back occasionally to see how everything wears in,last October had to replace the gearbox

i seen another bit of iron sticking out the ground when i levered it out there was a
pair so i decided it would make a good band for the anvil log, i half cut it thru to get the bends easy formed and kept the coach bolt heads and nuts just for looks , it welded well with 6010 ,considering its poor quality
an djustable rod was made,at one end then the whole lot clamped up with a sash clamp and the other tie rod welded , i still got some adjustment spare
im enjoying this lockdown

Today I made ...

chocolate brownie cake

 

[3000alloy]

Bastardised a Hardi backpack sprayer, quad sprayer, 6v battery and a sack trolley to mobilise for weed spraying.

Why? Well both shoulder straps are unusable and replacements for this model cannot be got. Works a treat. All can be dismantled to allow for the use of the sack trolley for other use.

That is my kind of project!!! Good job

 

[qwakers]

nothing too big and clever, but something i made today, nevertheless.....


roof bars.
what idiot thought flush mount roof rails where a good idea? means my trusty old bars don't fit, i need to carry a ladder somewhere tomorrow and i don't have £100 for a set of new bars..
so let the bodges begin!
i cut 4 bits of 50mm angle down to 75mm long, one edge 50 mm one edge 20 mm
then i drilled 2 holes and welded 2 captive nuts.
then on the 50mm face i welded a rivnut on as a locking captive/standoff and a little guide on the leading edge.
they look like this.

i then measured the distance between the rails and slotted the tops like this

to take the adjustment bolts.
assembled it looks like this:

and fitted they look like this

not the easiest to fit and remove but will do til i can afford better.... or ill make better

It was a nice day today.
I mock up my project to get some ideas for the chassis.

 

[Olderisbetter]

This reminds me of the Tony Stark Arc reactor

 

[northwest]

@eLuSiVeMiTe wanted to see a couple built up. These are all AR-15 uppers in various calibres: .224 Valkyrie. .300 Whisper/AAC Blackout, 22 rimfire there is even one in .223 Rem!*



I build them all up on one of my own lowers then they get put onto their own individual lower and sent off to the Proof House, each one is a custom build for the customer. I am building seven this week and three next, then I start on a couple of long guns. Which should be quite interesting.

Ok, what is it?

It isn't anything. It just is

I’ve made some really horrible cereal bars. Never baked anything before and it’s probably just as well. These are disgusting. Far too sweet. Going to blitz them up and try again. Shame to waste the ingredients. Mrs Waddycall has volunteered to eat them but I think she was just being nice!
