Stuff you have made today

Brad what's your secret to keep your grinders clean ?

- compressed air gun, quick blast over them every now and then, then a wee wipe down with WD40, works fine...

 

[Nick DV]

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

No probs, but I see what you mean. Nice and simple always best

 

[Nick DV]

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.

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

Get in there mate before she changes her mind! You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't try!

Next time just raise your hand and wave at her, with your best smile. Just letting her know you noticed her can break the ice

One runs a diesel conventional household central heating system.

The other a household 220 volt fridge.

All in a 12m canal boat.

Thanks for the tidy wiring comment, try to do my best.

I think you're having the same problem.

I reckon it must be the season of the odd job, knocked these out today for a walk in customer, a couple of trestles to make a desk cum bench in his garage, a bit of miggin for a change, I knew those offcuts of 40 x40 ERW would come in handy for something.

More workshop organisation at work, trying to get stuff off the floor, nothing ground breaking here, but it all helps.

Just crack on with it & do it. Whether it be rejection or acceptance, at least it's done & dusted, once you ask/approach her.

@Memmeddu , you never try, you never know, go on, or just buy her flowers or something.

It's not original, but she'll know you like her.

@MattF
She's old school as I am , flowers would surely work ,as said before she's different ,1 in a million
I just need to make a little bit of a courageous step , I'm scared about but someone told me that courage without scare is just insanity .
Hope to come back with good news in those days.
I'm the little one here on this forum I really appreciate your humanity and encouragement

If she's one in a million, go buy some flowers now, well first thing tomorrow morning, don't go mental, go to a flower shop and choose something, I just leave it to their discretion honestly. Don't miss your chance, you'll only live to regret it when you see her with someone else. Your young, life is short, get in their, or at least give it a try man. I urge you.
