Stuff you have made today

Hope that is not for sitting on

I am still none the wiser other than it has something to do with cows.

One of my dads claims to fame - he fitted a milking parlour out for Alfred Moss (Stirlings dad) at his hobby farm in Tring - he used to install for Alfa Laval I think.

Just need a latch on the door then it’s of for powder!

Needs a harness point for fall restraint?

Anyway, what's wrong with standing on a pallet like normal people?

 

[Pilot_Engineering&Welding]

To be honest made, I don’t see what’s wrong with a pallet?? Done worse in my time. There is a harness bar that runs the width....

Surely, you could clip onto any of the rails in theory

Hi Has the basket got a latch or lock onto the forks

Spooky! I was trying to see from the pic the exact same thing!

Today, I produced LOADS of black plastic 'turnings' [jeez, that stuff really takes up space when you start turning it! ] in making this - an adaptor to fit the back of the linisher so that I can connect the shed vacuum to it and collect the grinding/sanding dust which gets everywhere........



to end up with this......



Not tested it yet, but it should help.

Now, on the the next half-completed project, the light box......

Watch this space .

Yes there is a bar that goes through a bracket to lock the whole thing on to the forks. Will be a bolt on the gate once powder coated.

There is a bar that goes the entire width to connect a harness to

I was sent a faceplate by a kind member of this parish, the register needed re cutting to match the Drummond and threads were just a bit ragged and could do with been tidied up a bit. I bored out the centre and made a very close fitting insert which was pressed in and bonded with baring / shaft loctite like glue. Thread was re cut to 1" 12tpi to 3/4th depth with a 55 deg insert then finished off with a tap, the register was cut then turned the right way round to true up the face. It needed less than 1mm off the front and just the lightest of passes to true the edge, actually pointless to do the edge but why not when I am covering everything in black dust anyway. Finally the alignment rings were re cut at the original 1/2" spacing.


Nothing fancy but here is a picture before the lathe was cleaned.

In action, there was still a few tweaks to settings to do.

Few beams made for a mates house. He joked if it falls down they’ll know who built it.

Reminds me of the Red Dwarf skutters.

Yep, would have never guessed that.

Disinfects the feet?

It sprays their udder before its wiped clean, in the video it was coming on a tiny bit early and catching their legs.

Watch this space .

I'm on a roll today, got the adaptor done as per the post earlier, so onward & upwards with the light-box.

At this point I have to give a BIG shout to @eSCHEn who went above and beyond and without whose help I'd never got this finished, due to my complete inability to solder or decipher the wiring instructions which came with the switch.

Here are a couple of pics of the completed thing - difficult to photograph well because of the high contrast but hopefully you'll get the idea. I'm very happy with it.





It's one of a limited edition of 24 'Sublings' by renowned artist Tom McKendrick which were part of an exhibition at The Pier gallery in Stromness years ago.

Nice stuff above^
Little bender to make ss hooks used to hang cast plaster lights.

The lever on the right bends the 6mm rod round the block and the threaded rod stops it at 90°, allowing for overbend. The bar behind clamps the stock with a 20mm threaded rod applying the pressure, that stops the stock drawing out as it bends.
Works a treat and way quicker than bashing them round in the vice.
All bits of scrap from the bin(err.. floor..)

Ah ha- I'd worked out it seemed to be a sprayer of udders from your installed photo - but as I hadn't worked out you rotated udders past it it, I couldn't see the point of a fixed, single point one.

Finished welding these mixer arms today.
All welds smoothed out except the top section that's above product line.
