Stuff you have made today

[wyn]

Started on a garden screen type thing.
3 panels that sit on a wall and stuff will grow up through it.
It starts at 1.2m high one end and will taper down to nothing over 6m.

Ordered some 30mm 1/2 spheres to go with the 30mm tube to make the ends of the "bulrushes" but they turned out to be nearly 32mm ....i had to make a die and use a press to get all 100 down to 30mm.

I started out on the chicken run. Chickens have their own lockdown at the moment, they need to be kept away from will birds because of Avian flu. I put the roof on a few weeks ago, today I hung a few doors, I've had to accelerate this as they are currently in the polytunnel, they appear to have an escape committee as they are trying to dig themselves out. I did this until the ends of my fingers went blue, I was wearing framing gloves, then went into the workshop.

Then I set to and did the first sanding and fill on 6 more dovetailed drawers for the utility larder.

Then I started on my brothers river coffee table for the reception of his new office. He wantd it for his birthday in mid March.

Now its beer o'clock

Cheers
Andy

Well few things in these days .
Memmeddu in love...
Sent a letter to a girl I've knew 9 years ago, at the time didn't know she was interested to me ,so after little bit of investigation to know if I would get a buckshots rose on my car...
I've decided to contact her with a letter.
She doesn't use any social and with all things are going on with the virus wasn't a good idea to knock on her door (she lives not far from home) .
So take courage wrote the letter on my car steering wheel so nobody at home will make me embarrassing questions.
Waited the right moment to put it in her mail box .
Someone here asked how to approach a girl during lockdown time ago ,I think that it's not too bad I believe.
It worked for many older persons here hopefully it will work for me too .

Now less personal and more technical .
Picked up few things to repair ,an angle grinder , two SDS max Rotary hammers, and an animal Taser thing (suitable for bulls )
Yesterday a package dropped in the mail box , opened it up and it was the new oil pump for my Jonsered chainsaw, replaced it in the evening.
Today went to our property in the country to make a plan to repair a concrete mixer.
And this evening I've helped a Facebook guy via messenger to hack and fine tune his top handle chainsaw .
I did enough in those days .
Ahhh
Almost forgot , I've probably found a Stihl Ms361 which needs a new top end ,I still have to know how much the seller wants .

Overall happy

A wine bottle holder based on the meme. Shan’t show it assembled else I’ll end up on the naughty step!

A bit more progress on the centre steady whilst I await the arrival of yet more bolts that I didn't have. After having a closer look at the main hex during the week I realised that I'd made a schoolboy error and hadn't ground a bevel on the butt welds so after MIG'ing them up last weekend and then grinding them back there wasn't really much filler there. Went over them all this afternoon with the Lorch TIG (have I mentioned how much I love that weightly little red box?) to add some filler; just gonne leave the purty colours as is. Tacked on some more metalwork and then tacked it to the base.

I'm quite chuffed with the project so far as in a break from OCD tradition I haven't obsessed over every minutae of detail by designing and modelling in 3D on Inventor first. And I think I've enjoyed it all the more as a result.

The torch stand finally mocked up at the counter to demonstrate a possible use for an oscillator and tig with mechanised hot/cold wire feed.

Made a new work table... Gonna be so handy being able to move stuff around on it! Primarily moving steel workpieces... Can cut a load, clean, mark out, bring to the drill, grind etc, then take back to the welding table... As well as just being a handy workbench!
Still need to cut some ply for the bottom, but it's not a priority atm.

Good luck, faint heart never won fair lady

Started off cleaning the kettle with a teaspoon of citric acid. It works! That went into a sweet tub with some lumps of metal. Hour later millscale was gone. Went shopping for a bigger tub to get these done. Works perfectly. Been in a few hours, wiped the loose stuff off a few times now probably time to take them out.

Thanks it's to provide additional bracing for a lower shelf, it won't be full width and just needed something to help with rigidity. It'll probably rarely get used, since it's the mobile aspect of the table that will be most used, for stacking material and moving etc.
Yes I'm a tart with the stainless... But atm most of my paying work is with stainless box section anyway

What are your wheels rated to?

110kg each.
They'll be fine on my floors, it's relatively flat and smooth

Not quite made it yet but I had not touched the website for months so needed to get back onto it! Surprised how much I remembered.

Amazing how these people (who are putting their prices up again on monday) dont even carry out support at weekends
Anyway I am getting there.
