I wondered if anyone would notice that, I just cut what I'm asked too.

Today I made a few dished washers.
But to make them I had to make a couple of dies.
I then had to turn them down to size.
The blanks for the dies were the centres from 50mm slugger bits holes in 30mm plate.
Probably S355 so didn't turn that well but hey, it was cheap.

Today I washed a few dishes.
It looks like your washers turned out pretty well. What is the application?

They are for the drop links on the rear anti roll bar on my alfa project.Today I washed a few dishes.

I made the drop links as well, just need to make the rubber bushes now.
I think this making stuff might be getting out of hand?
It's better than doing dishes though, I have to draw the line somewhere.

I think I'd enjoy gardening a lot more if I had a JCB to mess around in.

Nice job on the drop links. I couldn't tell from the photo, but did you have them plated? Maybe yellow zinc or type II cadmium plating?

It does help right enough, if I can't garden with the jcb I'm not really Interested

Unfortunately, The Ugly Thing works well (although the wheels creaked in protest, but it won't get moved much at all) and looks like I'll have to keep it. Chain rather than Velcro straps holding the bottles in/on but no doubt it still conforms to NoStandards 2021 Ed...

Would have been easier, there's been a lot of digging in that area over the last 2 years, finally all finished so dumped a load of topsoil and levelled it out

I was trying to get a cadmium plated look but something that would last longer, so I painted them.
Gold base coat then a spot of red and green then lacquer
Link to a post on my build tread with more detail if your interested.
