Stuff you have made today

Cue a neighbour complaining to council you have building in-front of the building line/to the front elevation . . .

Neighbours will be fine but someone else will prob report it, but then as it took me 14 months to get planning at appeal so I expect I can string the process out till I am finished, or put some pram wheels on it and claim its a caravan with shed like tendencies :-)

Well it's clearly not a permanent structure and you've proved it can be "easily" moved.....

I'm not expecting you to quote figures as it's none of our business, but that must represent huge capital investment - yet Joe Public still expects cheap dairy and other food products, e.g. £1 for a litre of milk or a loaf of bread.

It can do the curvy bits as well.

Trying the new inserts. I only wanted to take one facing cut to keep thickness. I decided on 0.3mm deep, wasnt enough to break chips but a good finish, quite happy with these.

Deeper cut on the OD, still nowhere near breaking chips at 0.8mm. wrapped the spindle and fooked my paint, not that you'll see it with the chuck fitted

Very impressive, barely a square yard wasted

A lot of people are shocked the amount of technology involved now, even the milking parlour has a lot of kit on it.

It is the same in everything, fishing being one example. Engines all monitored via the bus which also connects radars, sounders, plotters etc together. Auto Pilot, AIS location, VHF radios , Olex tracking/plotting/ground recognition all connect together as well.
Serious money nowadays for even a fairly small boat, the last two I fitted out were, I think, around £20-30k for the electronics.

All our cows have an ankle bracelet with a pedometer in it, when they go onto the parlour it knows what cows where so can tweak her feed, check she's milking as should and no variation in mobility, any issues and it can be set to automatically divert her into one of 4 handling pens for attention.

Well, made a bit more progress on the Drill Press.
I have absolutely no idea where I am going to put it when it's done, forward planning at it's best :-)

I’ve not seen them. Up here the neck ones are popular. They can tell when it’s the right time for lovin too.

Are human versions available?

That’s very interesting. I didn’t see the steering wheel move at all on the curves, so I assume it’s all done via electronically manipulating the diffs?

A couple of simple brackets - just two bits of aluminium with three holes tapped in each:

The middle hole is 1/4"-20 UNC; the outer two are M4. The plastic thing came with a little webcam for wall mounting, but I wanted to put one on temporarily on a tripod instead for keeping an eye on the cats while we're away. My parents liked the idea so the other one is for a webcam for their dogs!

The steering wheel doesn't move

 

[Barking Mat]

The steering wheel doesn't move

Computer controlled power steering, and i guess if there's an obstacle the pooter can't see, manual steering takes over. If he's not watching something on his phone...

I heard a story..

You're giving your game away

Yeah ours does do that as well.

There's a second steering valve, when you have autosteer engaged the tractor pumps oil through its valve, the second you move the steering wheel it disengaged the autosteer and you take over.

One of those would make life so much easier.
