Stuff you have made today

I improved some workzone callipers. My vertical slide DRO gave me some annoying wrist cuts from reaching past it, so cut the points off!

After grinding, I took one apart. The amount of dirt inside I think grinding actually cleaned it. The copper shim pinged off somewhere else. I retapped the stripped lock screw m4 for a grub screw and a new copper shim. Not decided where to drill tailstock body but made up a mount for the barrel.

Last week won some Sandvik 4mm parting inserts. I dont have a tool for them, plan to braze onto tube for deep trepaning cutters and grind clearance after brazing. This one will be 50mm

I wouldn't bother with those, they will fail, both of mine did.

Don't get any oil on them, they die very quickly

The start of my waste oil burner. Left over Stanley wood burner stove flue and a couple of brake discs.View attachment 224367

As a man with a lot of waste oil i am interested in your project.

Had a quick look at waste oil burners but never really went in depth. Would be nice to see how you make yours

Ground down a 60 degree insert screw. What do others use when need a flush screw in thin metal?

Drilling those holes! Mistook my hss co stub drills for the carbide, which then chipped as it went through. As with the 60 degree countersink all need regrinding after Ive had lunch. 6mm carbide burr got it done. Next a short peice to attach barrel mount to slidey bit

... a very dirty welder clean, Long overdue a wipe down. Crimped on a terminal to the torch lead too, been on the to do list for about 18 months. As a side note is there any correlation between the serial number and year of manufacture, for example would this one be 1972?

In a previous life, this was the center of a cbr6 flywheel/generator rotor.

Now just a crude pin socket

I refitted some parts back on my POS milling machine and made a couple of modifications so the quill readout is more consistent. I also made a bit of a mistake with fabricating the front cover, the hole saw drifted. Not to worry, the next one will be engraved and prettier to push the machine value up above £20.

I made 5 gallons of beer, it’s in the airing cupboard & just starting to bubble, nothing like Brewdexta’s, I cheated with a kit. The one I’ve made is a Festival kit, New Zealand pilsner, made it before it’s a really nice drink.

Added a bit of security to the garage door. It's a Hormann door, previously it just had the standard two point plastic locks that come with the door. I added a couple of pull out blocks with m6 bolts at the top two corners that fit in the track and jam against the rollers.

Added this today at the top middle and will add something bottom centre fixed into the concrete floor so it'll have something at all four corners and middle top and bottom.

More racking for my storage unit:

 

[Morrisman]

I made this, or these, well, I laid them, as the first leg of shed relocation.

No real idea how to slide the shed up them yet, with minimal facilities. But it’s a start.

 

[Ashley Burton]

@Morrisman scaffolding all day long in my eyes

Is the shed empty?

 

[AndersK]

Some sheet metal work. Old ones above the windows aren't installed good as you see on the lower.
Had to be a bit creative when cutting the panels.
Times like this I wish the track saw would die so I can get a cordless.

What's the English word for this kind of sheet metal work?

 

[123hotchef]

I made a big mess on the drive way oh and all over my self

 

[Tangledfeet]

Sorry, showing you all a stool sample - again...

Last one was reassigned to living room duties so new one for workshop is a combined step and stool; three legged so it doesn't wobble on the undulating concrete and a wide stance for stability - smaller step as either a footrest when sitting wrong way round or step to get up. TIG welded 25mm box section 25mm wire brushed and finished with Owatrol (new and me likey; bought a wee sample tin for a fiver) and recycled iroko finished with Osmo hardwax oil for the step and top.

scaff poles as suggested , drive a rsj or similar in the garden, strap a 12 volt winch to it , large wide strop around front of shed..connect to winch , lift onto scaff poles(rollers) winch slowly into place. (hopefully) yes strap would need to be at base level of shed and might need to reinforce shed to prevent damage, maybe use a few scaff planks for strengthening shed
