The one I had was a more traditional American. It was properly nice

One thing I should mention however, I do not have any steel

I did mine from 1.6mm steel, most people seemed to go for 2 but I thought the 1.6 would be easier bend into shape.

Good thinking, I wasn't sure. I have some cold-rolled 2mm but probably not enough, also a larger sheet (1000 x 500mm) but of 3mm but that'd be too thick.

Finally finished my fold away sectional welding table. After welding on top of a warped black and decker work mate for the last 15 years....

Got some 1.6mm stainless steel 'coupons' earlier in the week and some 316 filler rods so had a play this afternoon, didn't plan on making a cube but it just kinda happened.

As a habit I purge the remaining Argon after closing off the bottle but before turning off the TIG by tapping the switch on the torch. I forgot just how efficient and potent the Lorch MicorTIG I've had for three months really is... it was in the torch holder and on 4T at 55A it still managed to strike an arc and jumped the 50mm to the Bahco wrench and blinded me for a few moments!

Pumpkins...

Fancy some Scottish shortbread biscuits?

Too late, I scoffed them all last Xmas. I've just made this insert and turned it into a storage box for my collet set, the holder and C spanner came in a plastic box with just a few different size collets, I'm working my way up to a full set, need a 14-13 for sure, not sure what's the largest size for an ER25? Have I got enough holes I'm thinking even if I remove those couple of spares/duplicates.

Mine go up to 19mm, I don't know if larger ones are available to fit the ER32 chuck.

 

[Seadog]

A 24mm is available, but it's really pushing the capacity. There's very little nose on the collet. The normal maximum is 20mm.

Thanks, I do recall seeing a 20mm one on line now, never knew that 24mm were even possible.

Are we talking ER25 or ER32?
ER25 is 16 I think, ER32 is 20.

ER25

Then 16 is the max. You likely get bigger but I personally wouldn't be using them.

Some time ago I posted pics of some amplifier chassis I was making, now finished. Even did some woodwork!

Very nice.
What output tubes are they?

 

[AdrianH]

The valves are old RF beam tetrodes and have a few different numbers TT15, CV415 or CV4046. This was a case of make an amp out of what I had, EF91's, ECF82's and the TT15's but it sounds OK to me.

Thanks for the likes.
