A replacement material support block,for the outfeed side of the bandsaw.
Amazing how Axminster supply a good product (I assume they have some design input),yet leave off this vital part,without it your stock isn’t correctly supported.
Piece of 28mm square,and a 1/4” slot in the mill.

My axminster bandsaw has as much table either side of the band, probably as it swivels to 45° one way and 60° the other?

This is also a swivel head,which caused the previous one to wear thru.

View attachment 2892228mm copper lengths for compressed air cooler. Wanted a 180 degree bend in them. Have a cheap tube bender tool which works fine when Ive tried on brass tube. On copper it seems to twist/kink/flatten the tube instead
I hammered the bends back into a semi round shape. Might chop them off and buy some elbows.

I recently bend som aluminium tube, over an old powersteering pulley and these came out perfect, unlike the picture I took.

Cut the adaptor plate down, so its near enough done. The arms are a tight fit so I might flap disk the plate down a bit.

I wanted to do more stuff, some spacers I need to make up, but I went out for a trail run instead. 24km, longest run in ages, legs a bit sore now.

Is that good going with a chest issue?

 

[Arc Tourist]

Got to do what you got to do to beat the weather destroying your previous efforts.

the weather is an issue for start off

I can do joinery work dont think i cant the other person is the joiner not me

lugging stone slates off the roof with no lift isnt an easy job to do its very heavy work and 3 lifts keeping safety in mind weight on scaffolding is very important as it can bring the lot down as well as you

I have copd so lungs are coughing the more strain i put on them good in some ways bad in others

lugging around over a long distances gets to you when deliveries arrive late as in yesterday

so in that lot yeah its good going to say youve ripped the wooding out placed 17ft 9x3s wood beams above x3

leveled the front and window wooded the front to support the 6x4 front beam

wooded out the roof area in 6x2s

plyboarded the roof area felted and latted the roof and temporary water proofed the building for the owners

in a 11hr working day not including transport

wood alone for the job is 3,000

the other job is decking 10,000 worth just in wood materials

A hard drive tower for our home server.
My brother is a film buff and only downloads in 4k. Hence loads of 8tb drives. This will hold 11 of them. Cooling fans will be fitted.
Drilled all the holes on the Bridgeport with dro. Then used my nice little 1 ton manual folder.
Drives on rubber grommets to stop vibration.

you might be better having a drive bay with removable drive slots

something like me i like save files alot so extra hard drive slots that can be unplugged and another drive inserted even better

They are all full and he wants instant access. Drives sleep until needed to save power and prolong life.
His biggest hero is Linus tech tips.
How many other home users have over 100tb of storage

In fairness my drone footage also takes up loads of space.

More railings,to go with the slopey ones for stone steps.

I've made a lot of splinters, putting my hewing axe to work on a small practice log. I think it's not half bad for a first attempt at hewing.

Does it have almost an offset blade?

 

[DennisCA]

Nope, it's centered double bevel, as is scandinavian tradition when it comes to hewing axes. Can be used from all sides and in all directions, requires a little more skill I suppose, but trade off is versatility.

Is it sad the fact that one can recognise a square from a partial shot of it?

Yes.....but who cares.

Not me that made today but the skipper just sent me a pic of the roller I made last week. He has bolted it through the wheelhouse temporarily until I can get it welded.
