I was hoping to go with a couple of apprentices, show then there's a world outside of our niche line of work.
Unfortunately site installs and customer shut downs put a stop to that.
Wife is into building these miniature diorama thingies at the moment...
Scratch built ceiling light, dodgy connections. Just bits of wire twisted and heat shrink over them.
Looked like 2 of the leds had loose connections when finished. Probably from bending into shape.
Ended up cutting heat...
Each head will un bolt, only 4 bolts and electrical connections.
If there's enough slack, I'd drop the table, unbolt the 4 columns and the bottom and bolt them back onto the table to reduce centre of gravity and keep secure. Might need to knock up an adaptor plate or 4 to get 4 bolts onto the...
Last day in the workshop for 3 weeks today, so doing a few odds. Knocked up a couple of pipes ready to go inside a tank, all polished out and borescoped. Looks like I forgot to tag one weld :laughing:
And finished off yet another trammel bar setup when I got home... simple one. Pen holder...
Got the email from last time, I bought one from them.

Got one of them tradition looking shower mixers, quarter turn on/off...

Knocked this little model linisher up, odd 5 mins here and there...
Little get well present for my apprentice.
She's having a pretty rough time at the moment, so thought I'd make her a model of her 'favourite' piece of workshop equipment.
Favourite, as in scared of it after doing her nails on...
Good practice to lubricate both beads. Makes removal and installation easier.
Remove the valve core to get max flow to allow it to seat properly.
A few bounces opposite the stuborn part usually does the trick.
If the rim looks a bit scabby, a clean up with a wire wheel and some good ol bead...
From what I can see there, you need a bigger garage yourself mate!
It's nice having a couple of lathes of each kind.
Did he do much woodturning? The spinning wheel home made?
Blow the dust out, put the resin in the hole and spin the stud and lift it up and down a bit.
Dont forget to drill the right size, 14mm for an m12.
Other important thing is make sure its mixing properly through the nozzle, squirt a bit onto a bit of card of something and youll usually see a...
