Not exactly made today, it's taken a tad longer and still not finished. I still have to do some shaping on the final two into one transition and fit a 45 degree bend and V band fitting. No comments on the welding please, my old hands aren't as steady as they used to be

Made up the bottom hose for wifey's Pop hotrod project (the manifold above is also for it).
Just got to machine a couple of stainless "olives" to fit over the ends for hose retention.
This goes around the remote oil filter, up and over the rack and then reverses direction at the engine.

When I tow my caravan or a trailer have find it impossible to check the brake lights are working with out the help of another person.
I had a bit of spare time today so I made a gadget to press and hold the brake pedal so I can check the lights on my own.

I don't even bother with a brick and I am sure the last bit of wood I used was 3/4" x 1& 1/2" mine must be light weight M sport version.

One of these reversedRe checking brake lights work.
All those methods are great to see if at some point the lights will come on.
I like mine to come on as soon as I lightly touch the pedal so I can warm people behind to back off before actually reducing speed. I have drove many cars where the lights will come on but you are already braking / slowing down before they do.

Popped into the workshop on the way home this evening to pic up some lenses for the Crystal and decided to make a small body ER40 cuck for the lathe from some 60mm OD EN8.
Video of the lathe doing its thing with a couple of pictures near the end of the video and testing runout with a 10mm drill in the collet.

If you remember a few pages back @pressbrake1 posted a picture of the shaft he was machining. Well, here is the shaft, finished. Just running it down for hard chrome & grinding tomorrow morning.
130mm in diameter and about 37kg down to probably 12kg (will weigh it exactly tomorrow).

Top job I would say,Not exactly made today, it's taken a tad longer and still not finished. I still have to do some shaping on the final two into one transition and fit a 45 degree bend and V band fitting. No comments on the welding please, my old hands aren't as steady as they used to be

good morning all, just my contribution. Have had the plasma going recently to cut some 6mm 5083 to construct some pontoons for a Sydney customer
That was the last sheet to go onto the plasma. We started construction of the pontoons
And as of today about 90% completed. Just the bow and deck to weld down. Ten we start on the second one, hopefully to be completed by the end of next week
That is 7.5m long

Is that going to be a sort of pontoon pic-nic catamaran boat?

Nice stuff, but, err, the duck?
