pallets + 2nd hand scaff boards.
Have you *seen* the price of decent timber at the moment?
- cheapest 2nd hand scaff boards are 1.50 a foot round here
just the (rough as anything) ply sheets, and roof beams, cost the best part of £400!!!
(pallets were free, except for diesel)

I keep wondering and sketching out whether it's possible to construct decent length lattice beams made up of short lengths of pallet wood. For things like sheds and workshops.

I reckon you could knock up an I Joist, main problem with pallets is they are fairly short, even the ones for sheet material ~2.4M

I did an experiment a few years ago: three layers of 12mm pallet wood glued together in staggered joins to make lengths. X-pieces of the same stuff mortised between two lengths.
Like this:

-----/----\------
using polyurethane caberfix/D4/Gorilla Glue
I decided it was easier/faster/better to buy 13ft scaff boards, and bolt/glue them together
woodworking question - scarf joint.
I went with straight beams at 6.3m, and used bolts, connector washers, and gorilla glue. to get the extra slope, I supported one end on a piece of 3x2, again bolted and glued. the other picture shows the amount of bow In the roof.

Are you owner operator or just custom for your daily work wagon? , I'm sure they'll last longer than anything OEM!

You have only just got going, happy next year
No! They are the best neighbours I have ever had. Get on really well with them - the scene was set when I was still moving in quite late in the evening on the day of exchange, struggling with some ungainly item of car/machine tool/usefull object I couldn't possibly throw away, when David came back from a full day, half the previous night, probably looking forward to most of the next night of looking after sheep, doing a milk round, etc, hopped over the fence to give me a hand without asking, or indeed being introduced at that point. Their three grown up kids continuously drop in, their grandkids - all know my name, what I do, all willing to chat, no-one parks across my drive, all willing to help in any way. You know they are all right then one grand-daughter, driving shiny newish Golf with even shinier big wheels on, reverses/drives as required to drive on/off the pavement (no other way to park as narrow road) to avoid smacking the wheels/tyres up and down the kerb.
But maybe woodwork is done in a farmer type way - quick and it'll do

You don't need a Glock to kill an iphone, just drop it on the couch
But of course a lot more fun with the Benelli

Initial sticking didnt go to plan. Some clearance and melted the far side.
Filling
On centre, but you can see I cocked up drilling the angled screw hole. The hole may need to be redone.
Ages ago I tried brazing a parting insert onto a section of tube, before I had the tig. Put a shank on it and will try sometime soon.

Longer bolts for the mower handle. Once bitten...
View attachment 309263
I've done them with a 10mm shoulder, where they're passing through the lower handle, rather than having them just a 8mm thread all way along, as are the originals.
Neat work
. What knurled do you use, been meaning to get one for ages.

It's one of those scissor type, which the likes of Chronos & RDG sell.
That one is missing its spring between the jaws. I use that one though as it fits in the toolholder, merely as someone's ground the shank height down. The missing spring doesn't affect its functionality. I do have a complete one too, but the shanks too tall for the Norman toolpost. The one above came with one of my lathes.
