If you do put it on a lathe, you may have to cut the added wire or you'll be taking 6mm off the diameter instead of 3mm

This is not the the scale for the cross slide but both scales now measures the true physical movement so it would work in radius mode. Which I think is fine for the dro, just need to be cognizant of that.

Started on upgrading security and tidying my network kit.

Before, my office network.

Now with a new internal router separate from the VDSL ISP router to create internal wired and WLAN networks and external guest WLAN and IoT networks.

Still a bit more to do, I have to do a similar job under the stairs where all the house network kit resides. Then I shall make off all the cables to length, blue for networks, red for temperature sensors for the heating controls.

Cheers
Andy

Made a simple jig for "planing" and thicknessing timber by running the router over the whole surface (with shims underneath when doing the first side if required). Made it out of a length of 40 × 40 × 4 mm aluminium extrusion I had lying around, along with some UHMW tape. It currently runs on some t-slot extrusion that came out of a skip a while ago but I haven't got enough left for two good length runners (I had to borrow the long length from my welding arm support).

I might actually have to buy some material to finish it off

I did a quick proof-of-concept test with a bit of walnut that was very much not flat and it worked very well. It leaves light track marks in the surface of the wood, but a few seconds with a random orbital sander (or, I imagine a plane, which would probably leave a nicer finish) gets rid of them.

Nice job, aroundtoit for me as well as I have some nice boards I milled and would like to do another resin table.

I got this small cobbler last the other day.
It look good, bit rusting and a half decent paint job.



A quick and easy tidy up.

But stripping the paint and the rust off. A horn fell off.

The paint job was hiding a Chemical repair.



So I cut the ends square. using some 4mm nails I pined the repair and brazed it back together. I lost 5mm of height. This image shows the area of repair.



Clear coat reacted on a horn, so had to clean it all off and re do it.





Finished.

extra photos

middle wall was unsafe as it was bowing washed out lime mortor caused be coverings and hiding of property over a long period of time

so new one had to be built up

bathroom formed by new concrete walls and for the staircase being fitted from the lounge up to next floor higher the bathroom wall is also there to support the steel beam as well in the middle by a solid wall

tanking system also being used because its within a property a channel needs to be dug around the walls and filled with a french drain and into a pumped tub with exit via another pipe connected to the pump
this can also be used on concrete block sheds as long as you create a channel to exit the water from the shed

This afternoon I made this:

Bottom two rows are blind holes, top two rows are through holes (all on a 25 mm spaced grid).

Here it is in use:

Another view:

Mounted with a couple of brackets cut at the right angle, plus an offcut of thin plywood to stop the longer bits without collars falling through the blind holes:

I haven't decided whether to print a label to identify which bit goes where or just write on the plywood in pen.

Why is it always necessary to either modify welding clamps or unintentionally weld them to your work piece?

Also modified my corner fixture to to help tacking mounting plates to box section

Love a tidy patch panel. Re did one at my previous job. No before unfortunately, colour coded, red for phones blue for PC's and an odd green for a machine connection.

 

[cianh91]

Fitted these Thursday with the fronts to be stained by customer

then was meant to fit these yesterday but weather put a halt to that so they go up soon as the weather clears

locinox lock to go in one and a gapped end to fit around plumbing that can’t be moved

@Nick DV it's 21% phosphoric acid.
It's just plain hot rolled 8 mm flat bar. The grey comes from the etching of the acid.

Ahh, I see

Lovely job. What's the timber used on the larger gates.
