YepHere's your pattern.
Nothing better than a 30mm Gatling gun
Of course it's a GAU AVENGER

Ahh, got you. The original pic looked like the tractor could have been pushing the turner ahead. I thought that would have been unusual.

But now you can do what you want, when you want AND leave the toilet door open and the lid up. And things stay put.

This'll be your car, then....?
I would go more for something like this but personal preference
A few years ago (20 something) one sunny morning, in the days when RAF Brawdy were active, there was a microlight meet on one of the "local" airfields - Withybush or Pembrey. There were, I think I counted 12 or so microlites, fairly low, good conditions flying about 2 miles or less away from me. Suddenly one of those warthog things came over the hill, straight at the group. It looked funny as hell, but the faces of the microlite pilots must'v been worth seeing.Here's your pattern.
Needless to say the warthog avoided them, but not by much.

3D printer has been busy. Wall mounts for the drill, driver, batteries and the charger. All out of the way on the wall and not having to pull out the box for the drill.
I know the colour does not match the drill, but that was in the printer at the time.

I had a similar experience on a few occasions when I was parachuting, once with the Red Arrows, they appeared just as we were opening our parachutes coming directly at us, they banked round with no loss of formation ! The time it happened with micro lights they phone the parachute club complaining but as the area was marked on aviation maps as an area of intense parachute activity you can imagine the reply.

A bit more bodging old stuff.
Making two 5 foot gates out of an old 10 foot wrought iron gate with lots of missing bits.
There was only one end with hinges which was about 40x20'ish flat and one hinge.
There was a scroll on the other end of the gate which was very much the same so made up another out of 2 bits of 40x10 welded back to back. This was mainly because i only needed 4 foot and everything else on the gate is 40x10, so didn't want to buy 6m of 40x20.
Made some hinges out of 45x10 to match the original. The jig i made to bend them around is at the back of the bench.
The one hinge i did with a "tang" and welded it a bit and riveted it a bit.
Welded the "humps" on the side of the bar to make it look like it was punched hot.
The hinges on the new bit were just welded on, then a lump of weld put on the other side and ground down to make it look riveted......a couple of cutting marks still left on it.
Once it was welded, i ground everything smooth with a flap disc then gave it a going over with a needle gun.

Yesterday, re-configured the internals of the zort pipe and made it more conventional, with fibre matting around a perforated core.
Acousta-Fil did the job.
There's a nice thrummy sound from it, and the blast out today gave it the chance to settle in and expand properly, as directed.

Just taken a bit of time out from my own workshop projects to make an incinerator for my partner Sue to use on her allotment.
Looking on the bright side, it was good way to use up some angle that was a bit too scabby for most other fabbing work.

Today, I spent time [in the heat - bloody hot with the PPE. It was a case of do a bit...inside for a cold drink...do a bit...inside for...well, you get the picture] turning some short pieces into some longer pieces. My stock of metal is precariously low - it's time the fabricators with the skip opened again .
Then I cracked on with the direction pointers for the weathervane I'm making for my pal - he doesn't know yet but the collie he got after his wife passed away has been instrumental in keeping him on an even keel. Quite pleased with how they turned out...
The vane part is roughly the same size as my own salmon one
so should fix to his fence pretty well. It doesn't photograph well, but you might get the idea - paint will make it look much better
All this without a drawing, measurement etc - all inside my tiny brain..... Hopefully I'll at least get it all finished and ready for paint tomorrow, watch this space.....
