Since June 2020, vfd looked like this and has been annoying me, and I had the power meter to fit.
I used to use a brazing rod to poke at the buttons. I am not decided how to improve this, other than one hole is adequate. Might get some acrylic rods to make up permenent buttons. Any ideas?
Used nibbler, good tool but I need more practise.
Moved the switches and test fit.
Done, for today. New polycarbonate for the window.
I will make up a new knurled knob and need to mark the switches - underdecided to use stamps, engraver or stickers.

Never fails to amaze meThere appears to be no end to the talents among the Members of the Collective
A project from a few weeks ago, but only remembered to get some pics between the rain. No before pics because my new phone ate them when I transferred stuff over.
We have miles of PE pipe around the farm for water and there has been an ongoing effort to loop up dead ends, put in isolation valves and run new pipework. We can usually borrow a spinning jenny from the local farm supply company to help transport and spool out the pipe when laying it in a trench or with the mole lough, but they have been grumpy when we haven’t bought the pipe from them as well. Fair enough I suppose...
We had an old calf milk feeder - basically a trailer with a large plastic tank that fed a doughnut shape with teats around it. All the teats were shot, it was a pig to clean and hadn’t been used for years, but did have a sound, galvanised trailer. The project budget got blown when one of the tyres split apart towing it out from old age and the rim was rusted through. The moths in the wallet were complaining about the noise that day.
The tank and brackets were cut off with a grinder, and a trailer hub and axle is set vertically with some bracing. A plate bolts onto the trailer hub, 4 arms of 50mm box section with lots of holes to take some pins made from 16 and 20mm pipe and job done. I have to make some 40mm box section extensions that fit into the 50mm box so it extends the arms for the 100m rolls of 90mm pipe I need to extend the effluent system over summer.

Vacuum Casting Rubber Parts
Following interest in photos posted on 'Stuff you have made today', @mtt.tr suggested I write up the process...here it is... My brother approached me and asked whether I could re-manufacture some rubber parts for his 1956 E Series Vauxhall Velox: The part in question is the rubber plinth for...

Cut up 3 sheets of 5mm 5083 aluminium.
Should have changed the nozzle on the plasma before I started as it was well worn so the small parts are a wee bit rough on the edge.
It is to make a fuel tank for a boat, hope it is the right shape and size as I was going from someone else's measurements
It will hopefully look like this when I finish.
Side removed to show baffles etc.

A tiny 2oz ball pein for peening 2mm pins on a slip joint knife. Forged from an old chisel, punched and drifted the eye and used an old broken handle turned down on the lathe and sanded to shape on the belt sander. Wedged with off cuts of another old broken ash handle.
