Stuff you have made today

[selectedgrub]

I spent a couple of hours making a somewhat pointless breather gadget for the fuel tank on my ‘steam punk’ hot rod, not sure if it achieves anything more than a simple plastic drain hose would, but I fancied a play with sand filling small bore tube to coil/bend it without it collapsing.

I’ve ordered a tiny little filter to go on the open end, which will probably dissolve in the ethanol fumes...

A curved dividing wall in a fish pond extension project. Will be a shallow area behind it where the fish won't be able to go to give newborn a chance to survive.

Two 20mm pins that hold the bottom wear pad had completely worn away so I bored them out ,made new ones and glued them in.
Why do all my little jobs turn into a big project

I'm making a mould for cap stones on my gate pillars. I cheated and used CAD rather than do the math. The edges on the triangles are all cut at an angle. Some 3D printed supports. Too dark to jiggle all 4 bits in tonight. Fettling tomorrow!

that is not cheating, that is called evolution

 

[DAPPH]

If that is traditional and was used in Britain back when the Romans were here, then yes, I will use it

Not heard of minks around here for many years. Had visits from some big birds that came for a free meal though.
Put up a couple of fishing lines above the pond. They tried once after that, never again in there years now

 

[KemppiFrog]

Any body know what time it is? Bit of confusion about here. ME, off to beddy buyz..

 

[Onoff]

Will do. Going with 4 parts washed plastering sand, 1 part white cement and 1/2 hydrated lime. Probably a bit of mesh halfway up, maybe chuck some fibres in. Haven't got a poker so I'll use and SDS held against the mould.

I like this one, it's slightly less rigorous, mind.

Coming from you, the master of ‘releasing the inner metal beauty’, that is a great complement.

Tbh I think the Evolution chop saw contributed to any inaccuracies!

(Rough and ready stud wall/shed building type that I am, followed by the odd scaffold pole, I wouldn't swap it though).
