I don't think that's off an angry grinder, more like a dust shield for a drill or tile 'persuader off' thingy?

It is the cordless grinder, I use it with a hook and loop sanding pad, and 60 grit to get the old grout and rotten plaster off. So much dust I couldnt see!
I dont use it without the guard on cutting or grinding discs, well once with a continious diamond blade, but never with normal discs.

Evenings progress, tiling.

And now having my dinner, steak and chips

That layout is an OCD's nightmare.

@Kram Is there a pattern to your tiling or are you making it up as you go along? :laughing:

He's planned that chaos.

There's a layout diagram in the sink.

Give the guy a break, lads - you're not going to be moving in with @Kram and his family and have to look at the end job. :scared:

It's an interpretation of a knitting pattern .....knit one , purl one, kit two together . I wonder if he's brave enough to show the whole wall where he's dropped a stitch or two ? :laughing:

Not sure what happened here! Was gonna ask @Dcal Did he have a build thread or drawings for the RBX metal blaster tool?

No, but happy to do a thread on it.
Should it go in home made tools or in the painting section?

Exuptoy · Oct 20, 2020

Home made tools I’d say.
Saw the belt on eBay for less than a tenner! I’d look at it if it’s an achievable project for a home latheist. (Is that a word?

I got the plate cut and welded to the pintle housing I made yesterday, I then skimmed the bore and made and pressed in an acetal bush and bored that out to size.
