On 2mm thick stuff I just draw a line, anything over 2mm I cut a regtangle out 1mm smaller than the thickness of metal, that seems to leave a decent edge if you're welding it up.

A nice quiet few days.
Did a few good deeds, found out a future project is looking good.
Found out a another possible is looking good.
But, the weather was good, the birds were out.
So.
This wooden plane was complete, but the wedge was seized in place.
It was also caked in wax.
24 hours in the vapour tank had the wax removed. The wedge also freed off. The blade and cap iron was dressed on the wet grinder.
Yes I know I have fitted the wedge incorrectly in that image.
I have put it to use making a new hammer handle.
This Camping stove looked good and it worked.
I didn't want to go over the top in restoring this. I wanted to keep the aged look.
The burner holes were partially blocked with something.
0.8mm mig wire was perfect to clean them out. As you see a nice burn.
Cleaned up with old jeans and Brasso.
I had to re-solder some joints on the tin.
I gust of wind just caught the flame in that image.
It is a nice little tool, I rest 2mm steel plate on it and the heat warms it and it dries out small parts from the de-rusting tanks.
WD Folding wire cutters.
Both came to me in original waxed brown paper.
The only thing I can say about it is:
It burns very nicely.
The only way I found to remove the wax like residue was to boil it in laundry powder on the paraffin Betrix stove.
Both were Chemically blackened.
Then waxed with bee's wax and linseed oil.
A blob of it LHS.

Part 2.
The Valve spring compressor tool was not as it seamed.
The bolt (LHS) was striped and would only hold in a few places.
I was lucky, it was the bolt that was striped, not the internal one.
The pivot nut and blot was broken as well. The nut part being glued in with what looked like 2 pack metal filler.
The bolt had 3mm into the side, so it would move.
Any force and it would slip
Rebuilt.
New adjusting bolt, UNC and I hand filled a dome on the end to sit in the adjusting cup.
The hinge bolt was earmarked to be turned into razor blades(Scrap pile)
Then Blackened and waxed.
Yet to be used.
I was on a role, so this was pulled from a pile of things.
Please note the tin of paint.
The handle was replaced from another dead hammer shaft.
New rivet as well.
And a wonderful colour.
I also made fire, look at the bottom you can see fresh alloy flowing out. No forced air was needed.
A Blob, a heavy shiny blob.
A clean burn, apart from one bit of wood.
An off cut from the old shaft that was used to re shaft the fork.

I am sure you must have said before but can you remind me what you use to Chemically blacken old tools please?

This one ^^ ?
@£63 I think I might have gone off the idea.

That's the kit. I didn't pay that much.
But the good thing is.
That once you done each stage, you decant it back in to the bottles ready to be used again.

Could probably just get the bluing solution, solution 1 describes itself as alkaline de greaser and 3 as de watering oil so 1 & 3 not so difficult to substitute. I haven't got a clue where to get Copper Selenate for solution 2 I will have a think on that one.

Nice, never really given it much thought but what creates the cross?

Plain flour mixed with water or some people use icing sugar after

Yep just flour and water. One of my housemates ate a spoon of it thinking it was icing. 
They'd actually be nicer if the cross wasn't there, there's no air in it so it's quite tough and doesn't taste of anything. The honey glaze helps (Supposed to be apricot jam but I'm not buying a whole jar just to use a few tablespoons).

Today I designed the next capto to VDI adapter in fusion and then cut up a holder I got with the capto tooling and faced it off. I decided to chop it with a grinder as I knew it would be hard but when I came to face off and turn the end I was glad I had as it was even harder than I had imagined. Wrecked one edge of an insert in about 1/2 second so reduced the rpm down to about 250 and managed to do the rest on the next edge of the insert.
The bit I cut up.
The finished part.
The design in Fusion
An exploded view with two of the interchangeable capto heads.
A couple of cutaways, second one showing how the coolant will get to the insert.
Next up will be to machine the VDI block, have to bore as close as I can to centre height or the tooling won't cut correctly.
