Stuff you have made today

[cardiffrob]

Made this side panel. Problem is that I seem to have dumbed down during my time off and keep sending the metal in the wrong directions. Wavy edge disease and Curly Corner Syndrome. If anyone wants a project, how about a video of how to CORRECT bad wheeling? Lots of videos on how to do it properly on Youtube but none on how not to do it, if you see what I mean.

Are you going to treat it to a new set of lights whilst you’re on it?

Made my shoulder ache. Needed 2 nice flat lumps. Chainsaw needs a bar a and chain, power plane packed up, battery power plane nicads have pretty much expired. Customer going on. only one thing for it.

Dont need to do this very often, but may need to come up with a better solution...

I cannot offer one on wheeling, but this one has always impressed me. Going from a mangled lump of scrap back to a flat, taught sheet has a lot of lessons in it concerning how metal moves.

No,lost faith ,last two low loader trailers I’ve had,started new with Rubbolites,after no time they became temperamental,so while this was upended,my workmates went checking and cleaning,siliconing,meanwhile my quad trailer,probably Chinese cheapo and 14 years old keep working..

A non rusty saw, & a 1st fix instead of that 2nd fix, would make things easier.

Hello, hopefully this a video of the clock I have made. I gave up on it for a while, today had a proper effort at getting it going. It keeps good time. It is far too noisy to have in the house, so for now, it is annoying me in the garage.
It is gearless. It uses a deeper tooth on the seconds wheel to operate the minute hand. The hour hand uses a daisy wheel to give the 12 to 1 reduction for the hours. A 6 volt battery topped up with a solar panel energises the solenoid. The pendulum uses a Hipp toggle to release an arm to impulse the pendulum, it also triggers an electromagnet to reset the arm.
It will all have to come apart again to redo the lacquer on the lower brass plate.

Got some of the horrible paint off. Might weld something on to guard the pulley but Im not decided, Id prefer to top to be flat.

I was thinking more along the lines of a wood blade in the 6x4, or maybe some sort of framework to make a woodrat type of thing and rout it flat... stuff all this hand powered malarky..

Finally finished something...
