So it is not true.
You didn't end up with a gold member?
Drop me a PM
Once I’ve modified the cad model my mate will be making one for his on the plasma.
I had to tweak this a bit after I got mine as I’d been a bit greedy on table size
Cut out of 4mm plate the same as the standard piece

That’s clever. Did you do that in Inkscape?

Yeah did it in inkscape, there was a couple of mistakes when it cut out but this was my first attempt drawing like that.

I made a big dent into sorting out my piles of fixings to make space for more junk. The steel drawers I bought the other day are already half full.
I could do with more dividers. They are 130 x 65 and 1.2mm thick but could stand being 2mm. I need about 100 of them, I'm wondering what the cheapest/easiest way of making or getting them made is.
I can't remember how I arrived at owning 40 M24 * 60 bolts. Must have been left by the fabricators when we built the barn. Not sure if I will ever need them.
All metric done, at least the bulk of it, all the Allen bolts. Just a huge pile of UNC/BSW/BSF/UNF to get through.

Almost a day to my self, with a few detours.
But I was having fun. I recently acquired 6 brass blow torches. Their future is as yet not set and I will see what comes along.
This one was going to be turned into an LED Lamp.
But it looked to good to be butchered. It also works.
The Label was saved @angellonewolf see..
So, as that one was not going electric, I dug out another one.
A quick test showed it also worked.
But what made me stop and have another idea was the pressure release valve.
Normally you have a thumb screw.
This is a spring loaded twist valve.
A real odd ball.
Normally the main nozzle is all brass or all steel. With the end cap fixed.
This one is brass main jet, steel body and a free back cap.
A google search last night gave me a few hints. In WW2 brass was needed for other uses, so it was sometime in short supply. So the hybrid came about.
So we attacked a third torch.
This is a WD item dated 1944. It was tested and it worked, but I was being nagged that a friend wanted one of my LED lamps.
So I I fired the coffee machine and set the Iron Maiden CD on 10.
Using a paraffin blow torch, one of the unrestored ones to heat up seized fixings.
This one was soon red hot and out. Same time I used the torch to burn of a lot of the rust.
The label was saved, but it need a spray of cleat coat to save from flaking off completely.
Not my choice of bulb, the lady supplied it.
Now, the lamp holder is a snug fit and held in with glue, but a cable is in place to the jet for earth continuity. The cable is 3 core PVC cloth covered 1mm cable.
But, this torch can be down cycled into a working blow torch. As no holes or parts have been removed.
