Did you find treadplate prices have shot up?

I need 9-10 sheets of 3mm and been quoted 130-150 per sheet!

Don't buy it very often so can't say, I was £207 plus VAT for a 2500mm x 1250mm x 6mm

Few more bits.
15.1/2 and 13 inch hauler plates skimmed.

Cutlass bearing skimmed.

Then a couple of locating recesses milled into it.

Chopped up anther Capto C4 holder and a square shank tool holder, milled the faces then welded together.

Tested on the lathe, working fine.

Made a manifold out of scrap for my '28 Chevy racer, to fit a Stromberg 81 carb.

Bit of therapy today. I have done a lot of this in the past and this this took me, from start to finish, about an hour and a half for both grips. I know which cutter to use and the angle to cut at and the different ways to hold the cutter for the curves. But I couldn't explain it to save my life!

Started on the one on the right, you can see the diamonds worn flat on the grip on the left:



This is the cutter, they are carbide so unlikely to wear out and made by a company called Dem-Bart, you can spend a fortune on all the different types and styles but I have found the single cutters are the simplest and work for most everything, just don't veer off!

I see where you have gone wrong, newbie mistake putting the swarf in a bag, the floor is the place for that, keeps the smart dressed sales guys out

 

[henry Kadzielski]

I will see your swarf and raise you mine.

Just in case swarf envy, have a closer look

I still have about half as much over the back of the drills that hasen't been picked up yet. Still one more item to drill and tap, then cleanup job

The manifold is sexy and the hand grips beautiful
Thanks for sharing guys.

Ramps nailed to the garage.

^^^ @Hood. It seems that you could just add some casters onto that structure, and presto mobile garage

Repurposing a failed parting holder into a 32mm bar holder. Half hour hacksawing. That was a 14tpi blade, now where can I buy some 10 or 6tpi?!
