You are meant to wash them instead of just turning them inside outThe brown was still showing through.

This evenings work.
Pair of 13" hauler plates, needed the face and taper skimmed.
They wee like this.
Skimmed face and taper and put 1.6mm step down from centre to start of taper as the skipper doesn't like using the wear plates as grip is reduced quite considerably as opposed to the bare cast iron surface.
Both done.
Made an RSS number for the boat I completed a month or so back.
Fitted some 6mm copper pipe across the cross slide on the POS Triumph and plumbed it up so that the Capto tooling holder can be fed without having the Loc-Line across the bed. I may increase to 8mm but room is tight so I will have to find a different route but it will do for now.

Bits of steel into other bits of steel.
Don't judge the trestles, they were chucked together with zero thought, it was only afterwards it was pointed out that I could have laid them on the other orientation... Never mind, they will do what I need!

For the bandsaw vice, I needed to get a welder out and stick a nut onto some 6mm plate, havent used either in ages. Started with some arc.
I was quite happy with that.
Then got the argon set up and started on the welding bench and garden table legs with tig. 10 tungstens sharpened 3 times each
Couldnt use my wp9 pen torch or stubby clear lens as tungstens still too long.
Very happy with it, most of the welds are poo, filling the poor fit gaps was a pain, but Ive had zero practise after the test welds when I got it last year. Argon reg was showing empty for the last hour. I'll try to finish the bottle and get a fresh one.
Gas bottle, bench grinder and tig are all nicely accessable in the shed now so I hope to use more often.

Today playing around with a EWM inverter from the 90th and it really screws.
These machines are really not serviceable as you have to fully dismantle it to get on rectifiers or PTC which is obviously blown.
Boxes of screws and nuts in varying dias.
Initially planned to clean up my different places but stumbled over it and this is where the and of the day begins....

Got the flappy stop switch and T track fitted to the table saw and cobbled together a temporary rip fence out of a surplus length of 2x2 ally box:
Very impressed with it how true it cuts but the fence is definitely temporary! Might make a wooden one with a toggle clamp, this one has a couple of M8 ( other threads more beffitting a dinosaur are available...) cap screws which work but are a pita
.
And seeing as the weather is set fair, the first job for the saw was a windbreak out of some offcuts of 1/2" mdf for the gas bbq which is going back in the wagon tomorrow:
And to save me having to hold the triggers when fuelling the diesel tanks on the wagon, a pair of wooden wedges:
