Gotta pop back tomorrow. Stuffed up. Just noticed in the picsThe plasterer is going to love you!
Top left shelf. Left hand leg. Should have been doubled up to match. Will irritate me when I return if I don't fix it.
Told em to expect a 2 day price from the skim.
Designed it with a 60" TV. They bought a 65 that's why the middle legs are narrower to suit
Shame as 60" matched the fire perfectly.

Could have gone to 2x2 but if you've ever tried framing with 2x2....That's never gonna fall down!

A bit of delrin with some O rings on it, to fit a corny ball lock post to an Isi cream whipper (Obviously 
).
It's really a proof of concept, I couldn't be bothered to single point threads in stainless only to find it doesn't seal. Essentially it's a poor man's SodaStream (That actually costs far more than a soda stream), I can carbonate small samples of homemade beer, tonic water, kombucha, etc without paying through the nose for 8g CO2 cannisters, and more excitingly I can "argonate" coldbrew coffee (Or beer, without committing to a whole 19 litre keg full).

Not any more, I had to take out the spike which pierces the 8g cannisters to make my part fit.Or you could use those small canisters of Nitrous Oxide and charge the hippies to have a sniff
Yeah, HSS tool finished on a whetstone, but honestly it was more luck than judgement, my threads usually look bloody horrible. So bad in fact, I've began designing a live tool spindle (Essentially a toolpost grinder) to use thread mills.

Today I made...not too much of a mess!
3 coats of black Sandtex microseal on the pillar caps I cast, painted over the course of today. Not too bad except for a white line underneath where the white primer bled under the masking tape. Maybe touch that up later with an artist's brush:
Not so sure it was in fact a good idea to prime first with the Zinnser 1-2-3. Cleaning the brush/roller out I used the left over paint on a cast panel I made with a left over cap mix. No primer on that and the Sandtex went on "better". Was going to break this up for the hardcore pile but reckon we'll 3D print some house numbers, paint them and CT1 them on.
Time will tell.

This is the first bending project that folder I made was for, my gate video intercom shroud. All stainless including the M4 rivnuts. It's not perfect, one leg is a bit taller, stick welded (badly) as I struggled with the MIG but it'll be covered either side with flints, lime mortared in.
