Looks lovely, it was the debt and mould, which made me chuckle.

And we're done! Last of the bolts I needed arrived. When the eBay seller I bought the wheels off found out what they were for he was a bit upset as these inline skate wheels are classic wheels from 1997; he tried to offer me newer ones but I wanted the natural colour!
Just need to start a deep hollow form now...

I see you’re following the same theme as Doc Brown when he built his time machine in a classic!

A big wooden stamp... finished off just now. Not really sure why, just fancied doing it 
And a bit more on the stirring arms I was doing a course of weeks ago, paddles that help turn the product over.
Bit more polishing to do yet to get them up to spec.

I made this work again. Was at it yesterday for a while. Stripped it, cleaned it, oiled it, freed the piston. Got bored. Got back at it tonight. Couldn’t get it to spark whilst it was in bits, must of been doing something wrong. When it was put back together it worked, perfectly

Today I've made an octopus hook out of a 10mm 316 stainless steel all thread rod.
Made a rudimental lathe using a drill,my brother in-law and another drill .
Shaved part of the threads using my angle grinder .
It's amazing how stainless steel retains heat ,it became red hot under the flap disc .
Cut it to length ,then used a propane torch to heat it prior to bend ,it became red in maybe 30 seconds .
Unfortunately I can't show any pictures of it because something went wrong while applying heat shrink tubing on the foam handle .
It took shape and sizes of .... Well not a family friendly thing but more like the tool required to make a family
.
Fortunately it's for a friend who is more like a brother ,so we will laugh a lot .
But I will try to make another handle because it's embarrassing

Very neat job - looks they’ve always been there!
Funnily enough the pcc member who liaises with me said the same when she saw the first one installed.good criteria I think.

It's amazing the cheek of some sellers .. they want you to buy something and use it like they would.
Purchase a property & some land 25 yrs ago , tore out 94 eight yr old mixed trees out of about 200 small sapling trees that the PO had got at the end of a local plant auction in Wisbech for a few quid to make it so I could drive the ride on mower about & have a lawn .
He paid a local to plant them all in the 1/4 acre of lawn grass as they came out the tipped load . They were planted haphazardly must have looked lovely at the time being planted three to five feet apart & two feet or so tall ..
A few weeks after I'd hoyed them out with a 12 ton Ruston Buycrus 360 excavator he drove up to our house and said in a Malmsbury braying screech " You can't do that to my trees " . Told him in simple soldiers language what to do with himself

Crammed shell into a brake light.
A small story was I could not get this size diametre down here, It was, I almost admit gave up on the original idea.
I found one at a gunsmith he would not sell to me.
@northwest kindly sent these items at no charge. The kindness of strangers can blow you away sometimes with no pun intended.
Thanks heaps.

Nice work. I assume that the wooden panels are T&G fixed to a frame then attached with the bolts
