Got some requests to make some face masks for a few folk, and realised how depleted my fabric stash has become.
Fortunately, the pillow case I used was just the right shade of pink.
Another bad quality photo of my long running saga of the mini companion set. I think they built the Titanic in less time.
Still to be powder coated black, but not the brass. I will probably change the shape of the brass bit a little, by adding a taper at the bottom. The poker still needs a stand, so more practice for me on the lathe, and hopefully the milling machine.

Good work on the masks.
Is the fire side set small to suit the small fire and the clock a normal size one?

Just to really mess with your mind, the fire is small (under 2 foot in height), the companion set is tiny (approx 8” tall), and the pocket watch, from memory, 7” ish.
Either that, or it was onehellova big rabbit.

More a case of unmade: stripped out 3 x old Sky boxes to 'make' 3 x 500 Gb hard drives. One of them will be perfect for my old stand-alone PC that runs Win XP.

A trommel attachment for the disesassel concrete mixer.
Drum from a washing machine/drier, held on with wire tensioners, small U-bolts, and carabiners.
Soooooooooo many holes to enlarge.
Ideally , i'd've cut panels out and replaced with plasterers expamet.
Job for later, when Selco re-opens
This seems to work.

Took a Lombardini LA65/58 oil engine back to life
Modified the Magneto to use an external ignition coil
Now I have to test run it to tune the carb and the ignition timing but It's runnable right now
If everything goes well I'll end up having an engine driven air compressor in few weeks
I have to figure out how to make a fuel tank for it
It requires straight gasoline to start and oil to run (I have to mix kerosene , gasoline and diesel to make the fuel mix, but I think it could run on 2 strokes fuel mix )
Anyway I have to make two fuel tanks and found a way to close the gasoline and open the oil line .

Must say i quite like his combo of mostly cooking but then quite a few bits of DIY.
Dont think that's going anywhere in a hurry, what is that attached to?

Spent the last few days, converting a dead shed into useful timber. For me and MIS.
The longer slats and up rights were turned into 2 fence panels for a neighbour. Up shot I was left with some brown fence stain.
This is what I was left with.
So I turned it into this. Ignore the 4x4.
The 2x2 was ripped down to 2 x 1 and the slats cut to the smallest good length.
Framing out.
90% of the screws used were recycled. only 3" (75mm) ones were new, from my stock.
I loved the finish and the look of the reverse of the panel.
So I kept it.
This is when I stained/ swamped it with wood preserver. I kept this and did not stain it.
This is were it is going, behind my panel is my nice neighbours fence arrangements. A very ropy set up. I had to be very carefull removing mine.
In place, stained up and all back to normal
I even had a few bits left over.
So I made a table for the "Welders Arms".
