Wasn’t all in one day but was a good week last week

thats some nice work done there, like the design on the low wall pair especially.

Understood how shot flames out of my car exhaust.
It has to be warm like after a normal day driving .
Then hold the throttle at 3k rpms for a second or two and make it idle in a moment.
It will backfire making a nice sound .
I should learn much more useful things

Explanation , since the exhaust pipe is broken prior the muffler, lamda sensor doesn't read correctly and the computer gives more fuel than needed so being the exhaust hot , and spark plugs are shut off while decreasing RPMs (throttle body commands injection and ignition timing) the fuel will burn in the exhaust .
This shouldn't happen in theory , but I think that some of older owners did something to the injection map , and that's probably why the exhaust is broken

Those are some serious casings, well done @northwest

Old project I decided to work on a little again, unsure that I'll complete it, but hope so.

Making a pantorouter (woodgears.ca):

No checked there and Iv none of the back of any . It’s basically just 2 40mm strips across the top and bottom and screwed together to make one piece . Reason for doing it is makes after care a lot easier for the customers they can pop out the panel to repaint and varnish

 

[Barking Mat]

Made a bench grinder stand thé other day, boss said, how long will it take? So painting it wasn't an option, too busy at thé moment.

Then continued with installing 2x24 volt pure sine inverters. Thé 24 volt sides about finished, got to go over thé 240 volt systèm, it's not quite how it should bé.

No guesses?

I've got 2" weights and a 1" curling bar, I've also got no metrology toys here so rather than measure anything properly, I just made a short version to check the fit without wasting too much time or plastic. It's a bit snug on the bar and a bit loose on the plates but it looks like it'll work.

Finally finished this; full length sleeves for each end.

I couldn't resist a little test, they didn't break with as much weight as will fit on them.

It is, of course, only a curling bar, it'll probably never see 40kg in normal use but I had to have a play.

I can't do that whit my car.
I have a friend who is a rally association president .
So whenever I would like to drive a rally car or partecipate to an amatorial rally I have only to ask him.
Roads aren't meant to race on them .
There are apposite circuits to do that.

Per side, or total?

 

[Maker]

Per side, or total?

I meant total but that might have been a bit of a modest guess, definitely nowhere near 40 a side though!

The place my pal occasionally worked in as a family helper had concrete casting rings as a single strip welded up so the top edge was 3 mm smaller than the bottom edge they ground & polished up to give an almost invisible joint . Then tack welded to a base plate at the smallest diameter . They had dozens of them for making round cast concrete slabs for lawn paths . Being in tray form they were filled via a chute of slightly damp fine mix whilst on a vibrating table to give a lovely smooth face . They also fibreglass inserts for the rings they'd made so it looked like the end of a log n the cast face .

Not made today but testing today. 9” and 5” grinder rack. May play around with a few dimensions to make it a bit more compact.
no disc/consumable tabs on this one.

Why not make them as " Y" 's in solid rod so every one of them can take a big blade & weld on a bent "U " or a cross piece ( bolts to the wall ? ) near the base to take the cable coils.

That would take me far longer and look Pretty pants I think. These have the logo, cable hook, consumables tabs. I can cut one of these, clean it up and fold it in about 30 minutes.

Brad what's your secret to keep your grinders clean ?
I have your same metabo , and despite the fact I'm an hobbyist and clean often my tools I can't really make antivib handle shine like on yours .
It looks like it never worked but it did because the scratches on the gearbox

 

[Memmeddu]

Actually yesterday .
The day before I've picked up a maintenance kit for Milwaukee PLH32QEX , I've had it already completely disassembled ,so I've took only 2 hours to clean it all , replaces all the rubber parts ,antivibs, orings , gasket, bearing grommet ,carbon brushes , applied new fresh grease (two different types for different parts which needs lubrication )
New stretching screws .
New quick change flange (fixtec part )
Cleaned it up using brake cleaner and a rag.
80 euros
38 parts
35 euros profit.

Then something happened in the evening.
After the second letter to her I've probably hit the target .
I've had to move my car to another parking.
While parking I've seen her trying to find the courage to go into my alley ,I was little bit far , she started watching around and go away.
I didn't manage to get closer to talk her ,she was already pretty far and since she's really shy ,I didn't want to force the things.
But I heard in my mind "hurry boy , she's waiting there for you"
I'll knock on her door one of those days
