Stuff you have made today

[Wedg1e]

Batman ?

No, well none of the ones I've seen anyway...

Got the last gate I made fitted this morning it’s weird doing this stuff and people staying so far away when they’d usually be there chatting

Well, today's efforts included filing and polishing the small die from my metalcraft bender, still had the cut lines from the plasma (or whatever they use) which was leaving marks when I was forming rings. About half and hour with some files and some wet and dry. It's not mild steel though, much harder, hence the half hour!

Do you have any photos of stuff you’ve made using it? I’ve got the same one but have not found it particularly useful so far

I've been getting creative with the fruit I'm putting in my gin.

Sorry to hear about your hand.
In my case isn't something permanent , probably ten days because a minor angle grinder injury
Honestly I can't and wouldn't like to understand what you felt like , I'm very sorry about what happened to you.
I can't even imagine how tough it could been .
Hopefully in the next future someone will find a way to solve your issue

Sorry, when I re-read that I realize I've written it poorly, should have said lost use of it for 6 weeks!

I haven't made much with it to be fair, it's come in handy for some stuff, rolling the odd ring, bending some squares out of flat bar and now this. But I haven't really realized it's full potential I don't think. I'll grab a quick pic of the candlesticks I made the better half, used it a little bit for them.

Edit:
Here we go, the squares for the top of these. Much neater than if I had tried to bang it out on the vice.

I lost use of a hand years ago after a small surgery and it was a real pain, was my left and I'm right handed so not even as bad as you've got it. Does make you think a little bit though.

When I was a teenager I managed to fall of a motorbike and sprained both wrists pretty badly, lost the use of both hands for a couple of weeks - luckily I had a very attentive girlfriend!

When I was in East Grinstead waiting for surgery on my hand a guy came in who had been bitten on the wrist by his terrier whilst trying to free it from some barbed wire. He'd lost all use and feeling in his hand. They were going to open his wrist up to see where the damage was but an emergency case came in and they had to give him a bed and postpone the surgery until morning.

Next morning he woke up and his hand was perfectly fine

Welded up a little Mazda Service tool today. I needed to be able to push and turn the caliper piston. simple but effective tool and another situation the welder comes in handy.

And 3 coats of paint laid down on the back axle subframe.

I'm happy to read you can use both

Only had it sat in the garage for 6 months.

It had to season

Yes,
Although "Free candy" signs work too.

A mess.

My crucible failed, wasting some good hardwood charcoal, making a mess of the fire pit.

But, I do have another shinny Blob.

fingerless latex gloves, hoping to start selling them to the masses, who are looking for a new fashion tend to follow.

who am I kidding, its the fingers Im wanting as I cut my little finger tip and its to keep it clean........ using the fingers and gloves gives me 5 covers for my finger, to cut down on the number of gloves used

A bit of bent aluminium with welded corners:

Looks like this when mounted on a wall:

It would have saved a heck of a lot of effort if Makita had put some keyhole-shaped mounting holes in the back of the charger...

I have the dual battery makita charger, Thought it would be easy to mount and how wrong i was.

Might have to take some inspiration from your tray design there.
