What did you bend the tube with @Hood

One like this except mine doesn't have the power pack.

 

[mtt.tr]

Need a handle for my sheetwinch need it sooner than i can get one posted

Made a start on the coupler, Shame i slipped and marred the part, will fill that with weld and dress it back.


Good fit all in all, would have been easier if i had the dro plugged back in and if i had a drawing rather than just a calculator.


Less than 2hrs so im pleased with that

 

[Anguz]

50 odd years ago I had one of them - lethal it was. Seem to remember it had a crack somewhere. I think I did bin it.

Made a surround for the benchtop.





With it being in the living room, & there also being a plug socket on the wall behind it, it's just to keep any mess confined.

Got quite a lot done this weekend.

I made a new shaft for my latest axe (the longest one)








And I finished this blower with a PWM controller for my forge, used an old tool box to keep the electronics in. Got great control of the air flow now.





And I got started on my solar air heater for the shop:


I also fixed my sons radio car, broken shock absorber, I have ordered a spare but it will take a while. So I found a similar one on another low quality car that was not used anymore and it almost fit, had the right height but too large an opening, so I turned some adapters from PTFE rod (the little white thingies seen on the shock absorber ot the right):

We did a BBQ for a neighbour to use up a slab of granite and bricks they had sat around.

Got the tube bent and then the brackets welded on. Could have done with another pair of hands to get the insert tacked in place.

Once that was done the welding was easy enough, both now finished.

I like them, what colour are they going to be when powdercoated?

Black.

 

[mpats]

Black.

The thistles should stand out nicely against the black. Must remember you have the pattern, be tempted to commission one from you if we ever get round to buying a new house.

I was going to get my gates done in a gunmetal colour but we decided on black at the last moment and we think that was the right choice.
