Looking good,

Please don't shoot me
But I don't know if Mikalor Clips of one sort or another go that small,
I just don't like jubilee clips

They do, I have some I use on my bikes fuel hoses. I did consider using them instead but wasn’t sure how permanent this breather would be. Once they are on, they are on for good, but I may well swap to them for neatness.

I glued the mating faces of the pyramid with Gorilla Glue. Not a perfect fit at the apex as in a mm or two out but good enough I think. Going to carefully have to multitool the glue off...

It's a bloody long time since SWMBO's let me do anything on the lounge floor that involved putting plastic sheeting down...

Some steampunk detailing

I needed to make some cowl vents for the model boat Im building, but why do things that seem simple end up being complicated to make. just for scale the top of the vent is 6mm diameter.

so first I ended up making a form tool to form the radius on the end of the 6mm styrene rod. this was a piece of rusty 3mm gauge plate so I drilled and reamed a 6mm hole in it, and stoned the top face to give a nice sharp cutting edge....ohh and because it was being used on styrene, I didnt harden it, it was just used in its annealed state.

then cut 10mm off the end of the rod, turned it round in the chuck and drilled it 4mm to remove most of the inside material

the round end then had a flat bottomed 4mm hole milled in it so a 4mm tube could be glued into it.

the "bowl" top of the vent was then parted to length, and the parting tool is 0.6mm wide.

and then the inside of the top of the vent was created using a 5mm ball nosed milling cutter to create the curved interior, but how do you hold it? mill a recess piece of wood using a 6mm ball nosed cutter and mill a 4mm wide slot for the tube to sit in. and then hold it with tool makers clamp to keep your fingers out of the way.

and a completed vent next to a half done one

Working my way through the hydraulic pipes

Not far from home there are some roads with U turns and no asphalt .
I was driving there to take a friend to his girlfriend house .
Couldn't resist to the handbrake
Little bit of drifting , it's been funny.
I'll have to replace clutch and shocks soon so once done I can't do it anymore so why not .
Also disassembled a Milwaukee Fuel M18 CHX today.
It will need maintenance kit, a new selector lever and the gear housing.
Lever failed after the housing failed .
So no hammer function

A couple of days ago I made a little trolley to sit the cabinet I got of doubleboost on
a bit 25 x 25 x 3 angle and a couple bits of timber to pack the wheels lower
I ground most of the welds to avoid scrutiny

 

[Ali]

A lock nut for the blade guide on a little bandsaw I’ve been servicing

Hate knurling, I’ve got all the bits but I’ve never found time to make the proper tool that clamps from above and below instead of stressing the headstock bearings. Couldn’t find the right pattern either.

This evening I decided to make an aluminium box for the top of the tailstock. I had previously made a stainless one but the bits and pieces placed in it rattled and made a racket so I thought aluminium would be better.

I also put some grooves in the chuck face which will make setting the jaws easier due to the style of chuck, a Forkardt with sliding jaws.
