[Fraserb]

Actually made them a few days ago.

Being the sad person I am, I know that that hedgehog was at one time probibly (I know theres a chance I am wrong but I doubt it) a boot brush.... I have a collection of over 200 (hedgehogs not boot brushes) from all over the place

Not sad at all. I thought it was most probably from an old boot scraper. My 6 year old son loves hedgehogs and we made a hedgehog house for the garden before winter and within a week one had moved into it. It's currently still hibernating.

If I'd have known No2 daughter wanted the ruddy thing painted black GLOSS I'd have taken a bit more time and rubbed the primer down! Of all the finishes to show up every imperfection!

Oh the things we do for our 'little' girls..............................

A different day at work yesterday. Line manager knew I have a fetish for collecting power tools so asked me to help with his new training facility.
Had to rip down some scaffold planks and fit them together. I used a combination of screwing to the sleepers and some steel brackets I made up out of 5mm flat.

Next stage is ballast, clean the rust off the running surfaces and then my daughter is going to paint the back wall to look as if the tracks are disappearing into a tunnel. The survey kit is constantly monitoring the rails. Wonder if I managed to register a movement yesterday? Doubt it!

What day is it? Baking Friday of course
I have never been very successful when it comes to cookies and biscuits .... todays Oat cookies were no exception
When they went in they were only big enough for 4 Smarties!! Still, they taste fine.

That's just the way the cookie crumbles...

Straight off Thingiverse but a new filler bottle cap for the Pug in PETG:

And finished this for no.1 son, second attempt - first let too much air in the bottom so burned too quickly

Nice. Does it have a sheet of glass over it when installed?

 

[Mick Annick]

7 panes of laminated glass, 240mm x 1000, rounded ends

Today I made some popping sounds, some sparks and a heck of a smell.

Wubs, what happened? Cooler failed?

 

[Woody.v8]

Couldn't find a m36 nut in the right pitch so I made one...

Since my last brundle order Ive had 4.5m lengths of tube along the garage floor getting in the way! Today chopped them up 2.2m long so they can be stacked vertically and a few bits chopped for the garden bench.
Also some 1x1m steel sheet Im unlikely to need that big, do I cut them 500 or 330mm wide for easier storage?

The new norton disc I put on grinder is bent with a lot of wobble and probably would have shattered if I tried full speed.

Got it in one.
