Another laser cut box for the diesel heater ATX supply. Spot the deliberate mistake...

Added a few coats of spray acrylic and added the ATX breakout board and meter

Looks okay. The "high current" lead provided to the shunt is more of a resistor so will need to revisit that's it gets warm when the glow plug is on!

Meter is maxed out when glow plug and fan are going full speed. Might see if I can get a higher power meter in the same size as it useful to know what the heater is doing.

Nothing wrong with a 'suupply' just gives extra Uuuumph!

I have been busy laying out the incomer wall in the workshop. There are two boxes as one is for the new shed when it is installed but I want the control in the main shop. The current wiring is atrocious and was signed off in 2019 as good

The project was a fail

In what way was that a failure??? Looks great.

Removing chrome plating from brass is quite easy with some propane.
Heat it and then wire brush. I did that on this "wire thingy" Then another heating to take of the shine.

I have been planning to put a quick hitch on the front-end loader of the small tractor for a while, but it was the availability and cost of a small bucket that put me off. I plan on making a small bucket and I also have one lined up needing repairs down country when we ae allowed to travel again.
The only bucket I have is the large one for the big tractor. The small tractor struggled to lift it, especially with a load.

I bought a Eurohitch adapter and welded on lugs to suit the tractor loader.
This little Ford, with it’s screaming 28 tiny Japanese horses was my mother’s garden tractor. When you have 3 acres of garden, and another 1/4 acre up the driveway, “power gardening” has a whole new meaning. It gets used as my workshop crane and for taking materials and tools out to fix things on the farm.

The challenge, Couldn't complete it. show working with what I had on hand to make.
Here is the lid turning it in to functional points.

In the shed it's extra bench space for me
At parties her indoors wanted to use first for food servery then make into the bar after eating.
Me, I get drunk then eat before sleeping.
Thanks for all the love.

You are even better than you think, there are no numbers to paint by

But they are part of the strength of the divan.
So be careful of the weight or what goes on, on top.

We have Tempur beds & mattresses throughout our home , there is a middle set of legs on the base units .
Our 19 yr old daughter used to keep all her school books in the modified drawers without any mishap . prior to me modifying the runners she'd have them off the runners at least once a week and go into panic mode when she couldn't get the next days books out the stuck drawer.
