Dug that out of the dirt floor of my mates barn! There are another 3 laying about that I know of, probably more if I were to start asking around

Edit, just looked on Ebay and theres one the same as mine for £95! Ive no idea they were so sought after. What for?! I assume they dont have welding benches in Chelsea! And their tractors aren't that old

These TV shows have a lot to answer for, that batty 'designer' dame and Drew Pritchard et Al...... :rolleyes:

I think that was for fighting, he got involved in a row with or over a women. According to the web, he’s no longer married to Rebecca, he got caught playing away.

Massive mug, or tiny pallet...?

An electrochemical etching machine.

I used the transformer from an old 24v impact gun charger that had broken tabs, think I wired something the wrong way but I have a deep etch mode and a darken mode, exactly what I wanted from scrap and bits I had already. Only purchase was the box.

Nearly finished, the side plates will be replaced with brass ones

I think I may thin the wheels slightly as they are supposed to be on a carriage but I only had train wheel castings handy :clapping:

A stone washing tumbler.

had to buy a few bits for this. The soil pipe joint, 12v 100rpm motor, and the wheels. Total cost £25.

It runs and works well but the motor is a bit small and runs hot after a while. It could do with a 24v 60rpm motor if anyone knows where I can source one.

I needed a slow speed grinder to sharpen the carbide blades for hand scraping the cross-slide on my M300. The original plan was to make a nice belt driven shaft powered from a VFD controlled 3 phase motor.

However I deemed that was too much of a project in its own right so set about my 'poor mans' slow speed grinder. Powered from a 1500W Silverline polishing mop, welded back frame and 3D printed adjustable table it performs much better than expected...
