Stuff you have made today

[bigegg]

The ultimate use being?

Decorative knife sheaths/tool holders.

made a cyclonic cleaning pot for an airbrush today. you can but airbrush cleaning pots £6 or £7, but mine was made from a couple of old syringes (used for filling model steam engines) and a old coffee jar.

a bit of hacking

a bit of gluing

stick a bit of kitchen roll in the exhaust tube to get the last solvent

the ones you can buy dont have any cyclonic action though, so this should be better

Only the red containers were made today, with the rest being done over the past few weeks, but I now have some organisation to my small bolt collection.

TIG foot pedal 90% finished and tested works a treat just requires tarting up. tomorrows job. Total cost £12.36 . Plus much time delving into my various scrap bins and long forgotten boxes. I'm afraid my lifelong motto is " it will come in handy even if I never use it" but it never fails to provide something of use eventually.

 

[Guzrik]

Did you share more details or pics somewhere?
I also need a pedal and am looking for ideas.

 

[Kram]

Quick connector. Didnt want to spend a tenner and have to open it up for fitting! 8.02mm bore. I'll put an oring up there, and use a pin to retain the male bit.

Trimmed the battery adaptor

Next time I will recess the pins a little. Trimming and had some sparks should have unplugged it first

Another batch of legs down.
My welds at the corners could be tidier... But I stopped caring so much, there's too many to do lol

I have some great news for you, next week I am coming to work for you, for free!
That should get me in plenty of practice that my Tig welding improves.

 

[Barking Mat]

Eight to ten hours to fit one window. It was 2.5 meters up.

It was darn heavy.

It was a genuine nightmare.

But it's done, and that was the worst one.

Glad that's over, nearly gave up twice.

Tragically, if I don't do it no one else will.

Doesn't it sometimes make you question why you got married?

Doesn't it sometimes make you question why you got married?

She has many, many qualities, fitting upvc windows isn't one, she was there pulling on ropes and passing me spirit levels.

'she', did all the interior jointing on this one,

mind. Front room.

Is the building on the wonk, or is that leaning in at the top?

Edit: The first window/photo.

The render is all over the shop.

It's horizontal at the bottom, vertical on the sides...

Yeah, it's in, it's right, it's good, it's beer time.

Today I replaced my lathe tool holder storage thing with something that gives me a bit more floor space.

This is what it used to look like (OSB sheet, pine frame, nails to hold the tool holders in place):

This is what it looks like now. Still the same bits of OSB, but with some cedar blocks to hold the tool holders a bit more snuggly (I used cedar just because I've got loads of it).

I made those little holder blocks in long strips and got a bit carried away, so I've got 18 of them left with nowhere to put them and no tools to mount. I either need to make a LOT more tool holders and mount them on the other side of the OSB or just chuck them on the fire! There are about 6 empty slots so I've got room for more tool holders already. Not sure even I can argue that I need another 24 tool holders!

 

[Seadog]

You could always send them to me

 

[Anguz]

made a coil former from turfnol and paxolin
1500ish turns of 28swg

 

[Kram]

Want. How much for some cedar blocks?
Interested what tool did you cut the dovetail with? When I looked router dovetails were the wrong angle.

 

[daedalusminos]

Another lathe tool holder. 3D printed Dickson holder for the M300, it's modular so I can add more positions but 14 is enough for now - hangs on the top edge of the chip tray...

Got enough tool holders!!

I’ve got about 8 holders and don’t tend to use many more than that. I do need to get some HSS tools ground up though.

You can never have enough holders
