Stuff you have made today

[Ruffian]

Finished the cutnshut and shortening of the boat trailer today, fits the urban artic a treat and its a lot more manoeuvrable. Just the landing legs to fit now and then on to boards, airpipes, wires, brakes and paint.

Is this your boat or just because you got bored and needed something to do??
Fair play though as looks acool little project.

Painted in "Bob-On Blue".

Friend of mine paints everything he makes a very similar colour and has some "Bob-On" stickers too :-)

I get the impression @8ob never has "spare" time as such and boredom would be sat indoors, but Imight be wrong

Nothing safe from a coat of blue paint around here http://s1116.photobucket.com/user/mypickys/slideshow/aspenworld

Not far wrong, if indoors the headphones go on and I get lost in music or diddle about on the net.

2 coats of yellow paint on the shelves, and 1 coat of black on the frame for my welding cart. Ran out of 2mm for the shelves but it’ll get a couple of bits out of the way.

Also made a start on these, a run of 10, I’ve got 2 done so far between other jobs.


Still have a forge to plan and order steel for, a tue iron to work out, a carcass sled and stand and some arches for a JD2140 amongst other things.

Farmers are starting to spend a bit of money round here

It's Shackletime! Wings on, 2 out of the 6 engine pods in place (4 x Griffon, 2 x Viper). Tailplane on hopefully by the end of the weekend. Thousands of BSF bolts to do up but nobody else has any correct spanners. Duh!

It's mine Ian, it's got a 9" keel cooled wood chipper bolted in the hull and used for river/lake tree work. It's in for an overhaul and tart up so it's ready for the end of the nesting season. The trailer mod is to shorten the whole thing up and use the urban artic which will make it more manoeuvrable, trailer,truck and boat only weigh about 18 ton so anything else would be overkill.

Technically not today, yesterday. build my brother a new bench to replace the old office desk he’s been using for years. Being well over 6 foot he was struggling to find a bench at the right height for him, most are about 4 inches too low and give him back ache. Fixed that issue.

I am only 6 ft but find most benches too low to work on. It took me ages to work out how high to make the lathe bench and when I had finished it looked way too high but in use it is perfect.

time to add some more pics

as you can see its coming on now, new bathroom boarded floored and shower tray fitted

the first pic shows where the original stairs came up as its a split level floor this was also where the bathroom was
the 3rd pic shows the new bathroom setout built into the dug out area was there before we worked on it and also where the new staircase is being fitted up to the next level
weve just taken the wall down steel beamed it and rebuilt a new wall as support but also to create a room better

no more kitchen and lounge together but easy access to the bathroom from the lounge

More unmade than made.

Making some much needed space

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

That didn't give up easily. Any screws into the oak legs snapped
Trusty crowbar to the rescue

@eLuSiVeMiTe Never seen such a clear bench

Fme - you've managed to clear out enough space for SWMBO to park the horse lorry somewhere else!

 

[steviec_lj]

Took out some shares in Walther..might be enough sockets to leave everything plugged in so no need to mess around swapping cables.



From left to right...

32a for the phase converter.
16a for an extractor fan.
16a is currently spare but it was wired through a switch for the compressor that lived near by.
Big switch has been moved and will still supply the compressor which is hidden under a bench out of the way now.
32a for the TIG.
32a for the MIG/TIG/Stick.
32a for the Plasma Cutter.




Shelves added to the welding cart and a couple of bits now in situ. It still needs some hooks to tidy the cables away, and a twin gas cylinder bracket on the back.

next diy project. electrolysis....

bit of a practice run with the sub frames off of a scrap car. they're very corroded, and are going in the bin most likely, but make ideal large scale test subjects for the new 'rig'

kit needed:

1 ibc cut at the 150l mark
1 inverter dc tig/mma/plasma cutter.
4x bits of scaffold pole as the sacrificial anode
some wood
a bag of soda crystals.
some wire.

and you end up with

and a quick walkaround

the next version i'll make a wooden support all the way round the outside to stop it flexing, and so i can take the cross member off the top without draining the tank.

its bubbling away nicely at 20amps. might turn it down a bit more, there's a balance between effective and just wasting electricity heating the water...

also please ignore the bodge that is the earth wire going in the side of the welder, I've misplaced the earth wire and the dinse connector on my other tig is too big.

I have the opposite problem: i stand on a pallet to reach a "normal" height workbench.
Ones in my shed i built @ 29" high.

Made a mess of my first resin hybrid bowl

...

I bet it let out a bang that happened, what was wrong, did the tool dig in or was it just thinned out too much?
