How did you do that? Not the work, the changing photos, first time I've seen that.

Don’t forget Larry the lamb & Toytown.
Edit, …. Just checked, it was Childrens Hour, not listen with mother.

Made a sleeve to go between the rod end of the steering ram and the steering rod on the Cat I am currently fitting out.
Couple of spacers for rollers.
Cut a flange and welded it to a hose adapter.
Welded the hinge to the lifting handrail.
Drilled a hole and milled a slot so I could fit the plunger at the other end of the rail.
Turned the face and taper on some 17" hauler plates.
Started on a stainless knife for the hauler. Milled the profile out of a chunk of 30mm thick stainless.
Flipped it over and milled off the extra 5mm
Ready for milling the tapers to both sides but that will be in the future as had enough for the day.

Actually did a few other bits but no pics , would have done more but was inundated with fishermen asking when I will be able to do other jobs for them. PITA you tell them you are busy but they want to stand an yap for an hour
after a while I just went and got on and left them yapping and eventually they got the message 
have a lot of retired or more senior customers shall we say..... same, two minute discussion, on what they need ok no problem.. then they'll spin a yarn for an hour on what / who / how / is going on in the village... I do try to be polite and sociable but sometimes you have to be a little more direct, otherwise nothing gets done..

I do the same myself . I get a lot of satisfaction reducing peoples work output down to my level.
In a previous life we used to a lot work with a local pet food company, owned by a big mulitnational confectionary/food company.
I swear the only tool some of their "engineers" owned was a lump hammer. I think the "engineers" used to be rotated through on their was to bigger/better places in the group, as we used to see a lot of new faces come for a look round to see how we rebuilt, improved their extruders etc.
One guy, on his visit, was amazed at one of the bits of kit we had . . . "so THAT's what a lathe looks like . . ." . . . he then asked how we put the metal back on . . . I had to walk away in-case we lost business due to something I might say, leaving him with our MD . . . I assume he showed him a welder in the other shop . . .

Just a series of photos linked in a stop motion program.
Good for showing progress on something.
Here is another one for the haters but it looks better when the cameras on a tripod and you can line the motion up.
