I'll break out the big guns tomorrow or Saturday,

 

[Maker]

A little delrin top hat to repair mum's kitchen clock. The old mechanism broke and we couldn't find a new one which fit the hole in the face.


Just barely visible which is what I was going for.

More tidying and storage solutions, perhaps I should start a dedicated thread
This one is a little different in that I made something out of metal ....

New space under bench filled with welders and plasma cutter from trolley, which is now nearly empty enough to go.
Also squeezed in my red tool box full of grinding/cutting discs, various saw blades etc.





To the right is a vertical board which I started last week before realising the compressor could move. I figured I could make a pull out tool board for something to make use of the end space.
Whilst in the process of fitting it I cracked my head (much swearing and a little blood) on the Master RBR which fits to the top of the bench at that end and overhangs quite a bit. At that point I gave up.
I revisited it this morning and turned it into this.







Storage for the bender and all it's parts. Nice and near to where it fits, so maybe I'll take it off now when I'm not using it rather than leaving it in situ.
Everything I've made so far is out of odds and sods from the garage and shed. The tin is one of those you keep as it will come in handy one day, the pouch was from some spanners and was in the bin when I spotted a use for it. All the wood is just bits I've saved, I hate chucking stuff away. So it's getting rid of some of that stuff too, or at least making use of it.

Next job is to unload a metal cupboard and filing cabinet and move them about 80mm sideways so I can fit in the locker I bought and put all the PPE type stuff that's still on the trolley away

I'll never buy naans again.


The addition of Philly and chilli jam make the best bacon roll ever.

Thought you needed a tandoori oven for em

 

[Hood]

Today I made a bigger bait box.

Cut out the old one.

Started welding up the outside of the new one.

Then the inside.

Then filled the hole in the table with it.

I thought so too, but thirty seconds in a dry pan followed by thirty under the grill apparently works just as well.

What's the recipe?

 

[Lewis_RX8]

What's the recipe?

Thought it was just a mix of water and flour but been a while since I've looked makers look nice so interested to see what they where made with.

 

[bigegg]

A raspberry pi based "carputer" to replace the outdated satnav in the Lexus...

 

[Maker]

What's the recipe?

The recipe is from this book, which I can't recommend highly enough. I'll PM you a screenshot of the page later.

Skillet with a lid on does the job, my wife makes them and we keep some in the freezer ready for tea time curry. Here's the recipe she uses, put some garlic and coriander in the mix if you are so inclined, it's really nice.

Roll top bath ?

 

[redlig]

Roll top bath ?

Afraid so . Don't tell me its WAS worth a fortune .It was either that or a hernia. I've kept the missing bit so it could always be welded back in . Or not.

Garlic & nice don't belong in the same sentence.

Reminds me of the Rock art trail the village started to show support for the NHS here in Wales during the pandemic last year. Contributions by young and old expressing their thoughts and good will on stones and bricks, lined the canyon walk for hundreds of yards. Epic, although on a small scale.

Born and brought up there, this is what it looked like in the late 1950's. Those two collieries, the Park and the Dare killed 126 men between them, without the numberless who were maimed or suffered from a host of industrial related illnesses. Of my grandfather, father and his six brothers, only one lived to retire.
