I’ve now “un aquired” the kids. The 6 year old was a complete little bar steward
Went through every room, cupboard and drawers

Will do. I prefer to do things by hand. But this will save time and effort. Just not keen on big blades that spinNothing'll be safe now.

Its coming up for harvest time and its always hit and miss if the IH440 baler is going to behave, we had problems with the bale length arm last year which lifts via this friction roller so thought a new one might be in order, its about 35mm diameter and £31.00!! at least you can still get them so thats a bonus!

What's the plastic, Delrin? You need a lathe in your life - a 5 minute job to turn one out.....

Anything with a bit of give will be a right bugger to machine, and you'd have to buy a piece of PU bar in the right shore hardness to begin with.
I wouldn't bother trying to make that, and I regularly make pipe fittings I could buy for 50 pence.

I think its cast, cant see any machining marks and it has slight edges like it came out of a former, I think Brad is correctAnything with a bit of give will be a right bugger to machine, and you'd have to buy a piece of PU bar in the right shore hardness to begin with.

If I'm honest the number of times I've gone "I could stick that in a lathe and just...."
Usually resolved with a drill, grinder and swearing

I picked a 6' spirit level out of a skip today, seems OK except that the bubble for using it vertically is no good. As I'm using it to try to level across the top of the inner wings on my project, that doesn't matter to me.
