Random pic of my little folder. The workshop is starting to slowly move into the office now too as I couldn't get so much as another screwdriver in the workshop.

That's a thing of beauty.

I couldn't get so much as another screwdriver in the workshop.

Bet this will fit.

 

[Kram]

Attempt 2 priming headstock. After lots of prep and some tests, swapped to the 1.0mm tip as this epoxy seems thin (or Im doing it wrong). Got quite a few runs.

To which I put a bit more on and blasted air at it I will sand flat tomorrow and another coat, after some practise on something else..

Then 21.5km run for shopping, fueled by Scotch, fruit pastels and codine. Followed by a recovery steak.

Not today but spread over several days I made a new work bench, this started from an stainless kitchen prep table, all thats left of the original table is the stainless worktop, rest was made to fit.

Legs are 40x40x4mm box

Worktop frame is 50x50x3 angle

Under the stainless top is 4 layers of 12mm ply screwed together







And a new welding table, bought the top, frame is 40x40x4mm box with 40mm high spacers to hold the worktop off the frame and adjustable feet



Whole lot is like nested tables and the little plasma table was bought in, since having the access road tarmaced I've promised the wife I won't do anymore plasma cutting on the access road

Nice. What's that about 1.5m?

That's one of the tops by 7050ps if I'm not mistaken; I've got one of his folding welding tables. Looks like you've gone for a thicker one - is that 8mm?

I was going to sell it when I got the larger GPPH table several months ago but it so convenient to have yet another work surface to accumulate yet more 'stuff'...

 

[indy4x]

@Tangledfeet it is one of their tops, it's 12mm thick

 

[MysterG]

Yesterday I built a 'plinth' which will have a big (2ft diameter) old concrete planter on top.
Far from perfect as I'm no bricklayer, and the old reclaimed bricks are distinctly variable in size and shape, but it's not going anywhere.
Besides, once the planter is up there (god know how that's getting done it weighs a ton) and has stuff growing over the sides, some of it will be hidden.
Just need to find a suitably sized slab to cap it.

If the epoxy is very thin, then a 1.0mm nozzle may be too much, and sounds like you are applying too much paint in one go if you're getting a lot of runs.

That’s a beautiful folder.

There's one underneath it

Take it down the tip and that Sarah bird will take it off your hands and repurpose it as a pseudo, designer barbecue. It'd probably make £400.

What are you going to put the money towards?

 

[sardine]

That's the very table that Napoleon signed the treaty of Versailles on at Hastings in 1492 to make peace with the round heads.

 

[Jan-DIY]

Today discovered that X2 caps can leave a serious mess.

You Meatloafed my reply!

 

[Wallace]

Today I made [well nearly finished] a pair of machine vice 'hold-downs for the pillar drill table [a big thanks to Mike @Wallace ] for the alloy blocks.

Thanks to the Member on here who suggested the pattern, sorry but I've forgotten who it was . They still need a tiny bit of fettling but I've proved they'll do the job - just have to get/make M10 bolts. Don't you hate it when a drill bit grabs and nearly breaks your wrist.....

I want to radius the edges as they're sharp but don't have a suitably profiled milling cutter. I'm thinking I might carefully & gently try a router bit in the mill, but I'm not sure if they'll do alloy...... Answers & the address of a good A & E, please.

I like that John. I have used router bits on alloy before for light cuts.

 

[Hood]

Did the last bit for the latest Cat I have been fitting out, two stainless angle fittings, bit of tube and a plasma cut flange then a very quick polish.
