What a novel and great use of a penny!! I like it

I keep the older pennies as they're copper, after 1997 (I think) they started making them from some kind of alloy.

Pintos hot galved nails, made in Finland?
They sure grip like super glue to skin
Anything over 75mm / 3" ,use a crowbar to pull them out
90mm nails but some generic brand, for my senco nailer, used it to frame my shed that I am working on. Got hot glue on them, or something like it which hardens with time.

Same here. 2p is pretty damn close for either 22mm or 28mm tube. Can't recall which, offhand.

1992 was the last of copper pennys I think. I have a small bag, some have been repurposed.
Made a hole for the filter half mask to sit underneath welding lid. Had to move the headband pivot a bit. Needs a clean...
Then tig'd some galv brackets onto the table frame. The mask worked, no zinc smell and no flu.
Table frame is done, stuck m20 nuts and plates in the bottom for adjustable leveling. Will paint it tomorrow. No pics the welding as its poo
We had some spare gravel boards to go on it but they have warped, cracked and look bad - thats one in the pboto.., so £30 spent for a 6x2x4.2m length for the top.

That 1p is on a 22mm pipe so I think the 2p's must be good for the 28mm pipe, comes in handy how well they fit.

Made three more adjustable tool holders for the Hardinge lathe. Amazon’s finest £3 Er16 collets. Not bothered about concentricity as they are adjustable, but to be fair they were pretty good. Have seen worse at four times the price !

First of all I need a bunch of parts and tools to seal this buggy turbo.
Try to fix it without massive injury or hospitalization.
Let’s see.
(Last time I tried to get new rubbers on my KTM ended with a breaker bar in my face)
Don’t like to repair these kind of stuff

Very slowly replacing the bottom half of my Vitara, to get it ready to be a little work truck for me. I need more patience, but happy to be starting to put bits back on, after replacing or rebuilding a suspension mount, body mount, sill and inner wing. Still plenty more to go - the other side is similar, but not quite as bad ..
They made them so a magnet could separate them out here before getting rid of them now they just round up to the next 5 cents.
Its had 9 hours and appears touch dry so hoping it is set enough not to matter, I have covered it with a tarp.
