Stuff you have made today

Did you mill the splines? Is that off the Harrison?

Yes milled the splines its really only a square in square, just takes head scratching at the mill to workout the movements luckily the direction of-centre is also the depth.
If i was in less of a rush i would have drawn it and given myself an easier time. This took 2hours so not sure how much time would have been saved over all.

No that's turned on my Sebastian, ive put a good deal of effort into it over the years its about 1930s ive given it away to another chap on the yard as really i want the Harrison here.

That would have me scratching my head for sure. Nice stuff.

Finished this fireplace front for a member of my Shed. The steel came from an old gate and consists of 12mm square bar locators each end and the rest of the grid is 12 x 5 flat. It sits above a cast iron front and will allow the member to stack his logs a bit higher. Dimensions are roughly 350 x 140.

I hope you are sticking to the original £250 budget

No problem at all if we are talking about man pounds

Some sort of yarn spreading brackets or something?

One more box sorted.

So, I made bread, by hand.




But the Lego was dirty, so I washed it on a hot wash.

 

[Kram]

Will you be making a cupboard around the toilet too

Yes I cocked up the gap might have to cut a curved peice to fill it. Got the other side done better. Ill grout later and I think, no more tiles this year.

Knocked up a cone for part of a distribution vessel... 4mm 316 stainless.
Plasma cut and step bent in 2 halves, as it's a bit small for the rollers we have.
Stereo welded together and welds hammered ready for polishing.

Then a radiused knuckle formed all the way around the circumference to match smoothly into the part it fits onto.

Got the 3D printer working again, this time to make an adapter plate for the side of my new shot blasting cabinet. This is to connect the Henry to the outlet filter and take away all the dust. It was only printed on draft settings, not too worried about the finish due to where it is being used and I could not be bothered to change the filament colour. My excuse, is that I should be able to see it on the side and not knock or break it off.

Intrigued,why the hammered welds,and how do you form that radius flange?

 

[mr migwire]

made some rot disapear from the bottom of a loco cab.

 

[Hitch]

That's the wrong picture, just tacked up there.
The welds get hammered to relieve the heat distortion mostly, but helps when it comes to polishing too. If the weld on the penetration side is only just through, hammering some weld material through means it can be polished without really losing material thickness on the surrounding area.

Knuckle is done by hand, gradually hammered over a suitable former, nothing technical. Just keeping it nice and even and not bruising it to death is where the skill comes in.

Im going to make @8ob happy with this rather low cut stump.



It had a void which was full of metal took some careful cutting to lower the stump i think bobs last comment cursed this one


The stick will be going to a saw mill, the tree and 6 shallows had burnt down. Shame, beautiful location.




The canopy i zipped line over above the 8ft bank sped up the job ten fold, only dropped two small limbs on the beach.

I needed a pair of toolmakers clamps for use with the model boat building, but as the ones you can buy are a bit big for me, I made my own.

first I needed some threaded rod, so made some with a die....no I'm not going to try and screwcut 4" of 8BA thread.

and then to make the tightening knobs, Im not a fan of knurling and fine that fluted sides give a better grip

and parting the them off afterwards, the parting tool is 1.5mm wide.

then to drill and tap holes in the jaws of the clamps, made from 3/16" square brass

and cutting the taper on the jaw, this was the easiest setup to use, if the jaws were bigger I would probably have milled them. think it must have been the first time I've used a flycutter in a collet chuck in a 4 jaw chuck, but the collet chuck was already in the 4 jaw.

and the finished parts

and assembled and with a pound coin for scale

I do prefer the ones like this as they can be adjusted from one side and can then be laid flat on the back of the jaw.

 

[MattF]

What type of collet chuck is that?

Looks like an ER collet chuck held in a 4 jaw.
