Stuff you have made today

They say that for good reason. It's the rule to live by, above all others.

That's probably true
We all have someone out there for each one of us

It used to be one 10' gate. the customer wanted it cut in 2 and keeping as much of the original wrought iron as possible. The house is about 500 years old but the gate is a bit newer maybe 100yrs.

I've done practically nothing today
This morning I've made 4 holes in the concrete to fix a tent over a door
Told little bit with my neighbor
And this afternoon played on battlefield 4 with new friends
I joined in an Italian clan/platoon 3 days ago
Today I discovered a new game mode
Hardcore conquest
No minimap
60% health points
No kill cam
No 3D spotting

That's a picture taken from the battlelog
Operation locker
49kills 54 deaths
We eventually lost the match
But I beat my records

one content looking horse ! nice work

I'm not sure, maybe thinking the hanging baskets could be in reach

 

[Tupers]

I got the ends of the bed with the horizontal wheels for pushing through doors chopped off and some 40mm box welded in their place then nice 19mm birch ply top screwed on. It should make a nice versatile work bench.

All the way down.

All the way up and tilted.

Fit out of a stables over the weekend fairly happy customers delighted that’s the main thing [

hope you remembered those vise grips!

Gazebo is finished, did the roof trim and gutter today. @roofman

Going by that bottom picture, lighting should be next on the agenda

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Il try again in the right place.

Crime to cover this up but mine not to reason why.

Picture is deceptive, phone not the best for high/low light contrast. Nice and bright well into the evening

You'll have to explain how you scribed that line! I can never get it right

 

[Mark 2]

Re purposed a mk3 Simmons drum pad (skin)

Practice and one of these.
Gone up a lot since I bought mine 5 years back think I paid a tenner

Though had to be inventive due to the contours. Used it flat with a second pencil to mark

Did a few jobs whilst waiting on some stainless arriving, one was a 1.1/4" BSP threaded boss for welding to the water tank for the new plasma.

The stainless arrived just after mid day so I got two of the sheets on the plasma and chopped up.

Got two of the main parts of the mackerel stripper boxes made up.
Pic of one below.

Vid of some of the plasma cutting.

Always used to cut a bit of wood with a v one ond and a pencil notch the other end but one scribe one job

Never got on with a pair of compasses. Couldn't get enough pressure of the pencil.

 

[dobbslc]

But how do you set the scribe?

 

[AndersK]

Practice and one of these.

Those are really handy at times.
I've split a pencil and replaced the graphite with a sharp 2,4 mm tungsten, great for using it on metal.

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

But how do you set the scribe?

Il use this picture to explain.

I Cut the board 60mm wider than the unit.
Temp screwed in place and scribed and cut to the floor.

Mark 22mm from the front. (offset for doors)
And temp screw in place level and plumb

Set scribe from carcass face to 22mm mark.
That's how much needs to be cut off from any point in the wall to fit

Run scribe down wall and transfer that distance to the end panel


I cut 15 mm shor of the line
Refitted it temporarily and double checked and adjusted. (not normally needed on a normal wall but this was all over the shop.

Then set the angle on the jigsaw to allow clearance as per

And cut to my final line.

For infills.
I do them like this

Different tools but same process.

Distance from the roller to the pencil is how much further the board needs to go back.
As long as the boards clamped true it's foolproof.
