You went for lazer lamps? Interested in the performance/quality vs price.

Lazer very posh

Fancy!

Mine is just a bit of ply.

I confess that mine is a scruffy oily bit of OSB that's been kicking around not only this workshop, but also my last one that I left 14 years ago !

Mine will be oily ply in no time at all. So will outlast me

Made a point and a few other bits.

Annealed new element, stretched it to length for the new design, then fitted the old new one, so its ready for another attempt at brass! Then it started raining

Welded up the lid with filler rods, to help support the insulation. Stick welding to 2.4mm rods is a skill I do not have !

Lazer leds are what the rally guys use round here.

Finished the table I showed earlier.

Because i couldn't get the wood I wanted, changes needed to be done, some lugs where welded on:

oiled and installed the wooden tabletop:

(The Plan was to use DIN 921 Screws, but they aren't awaylable in the needed length, so Hex it is)

Are the legs angle?

 

[ihavenoidea]

I like the frame but I think the bolts through the top spoil it a bit

I am not really happy with it too

But I didn't really find a good alternative.
I have no tooling for Countersunk screws in Wood. And they need to be done far more precisely then my Woodworking skills allow

Screws with ultra thin Heads like BN9524 are not available in the moment or at all in dimensions like M8x25.

Maybe I will give threaded Inserts (DIN 7965) a try but I do not have confidence that the wood will not crack.

Lens flange screw ( I am not shure if thats the correct english Term) DIN EN ISO 7380-2 would have a Headsize similar to

Coach bolts should do the job ?

but are less annoying to use. (If the security aspect isn't necessary).

Anyone with a brilliant Idea?

Yeah had a few of them before and there one of the best for performance and light output I’ve found that’s one on my old car before it was aimed properly which gave great range and good spread left to right up close

Do away with the washers and recess the bolts using a fostner bit?

Yeah had a few of them and can’t bring myself to buy the cheaper ones again the output for the size and quality Is just so much better

Tried that one. 14mm is really one of the flew woodworking tools I have.

Not to bad. My add some smaller washer to level out all 4 heads

Shallow dome-headed coach bolts.

Search for furniture bolts, they're a shallow wide head with a hex socket to drive them, used on wooden furniture, a slightly counter bored hole is all that's required (use a forstner bit the size of the head to do the pocket first then drill through the middle for a clearance hole for the thread/shank)

These - last night actually. Even the steel one will be binned, but in the meantime it will serve purpose.

Fill in your holes and screw from below.

To raise the washer marks, trying ironing a damp cloth over the area. It should swell the wood and raise it.

Made some good progress on the race car today, got the floor riveted on and the rear suspension painted, annoyingly though when cleaning the diff and changing its bearings ready for refitting I found some cracks in it
