[Barking Mat]

Interesting, but has he just put enough alu gloop on there to retain it, no actual fusion ?

That's what it looks like.

New owners sent me cake.
It was very nice of them.

 

[zeppelin builder]

a pair of tinned goggles with spare lenses and nose bit and a 200kg patient lift with 4 mtr rail
thats destined for the shed to lift me in and out the grinnal unassisted

 

[Hood]

I'm impressed . . . joining those two . . .

Here you go, took a pic today, had been welding along putting it the extra height stanchions and moved onto the next one and just as I finished I realised I was now on the stainless gunwale capping instead of the aluminium

 

[Kayos]

It's not welding or engineering related but it's got carbon fibre and shiny bits

 

[Onoff]

Old jars and bottles! The more I dig the more I find! In the foreground, to the left of the trench.

A trio of ducks -

For those not in the know, if you order BigTreeTech stuff (mostly 3D printer controllers and displays), you get a duck with each big item.

Today, out nice Postie delivered there - a collection of taps & dies of maaany shapes and sizes. Took a punt on eBay and won them for £25. They'll need a clean [OK to stick them in the ultrasonic cleaner? ] then my magnifying glass to identify sizes/thread pitches - many are BA [formerly owned by a model maker I suspect] in many sizes but some, as can be seen, are BIG [well, for my needs ]. But, a man can never have too many taps & dies, right?

[OK to stick them in the ultrasonic cleaner? ]

Yep, fine. You've just reminded me I've had a handful of rusty taps in a bucket of citric acid for about a month though, I wonder if there's anything left of them.

 

[Smouser]

A Startrite Ten Speed Drilling Machine.

Not sure if it works yet. The speed change handle is also currently stuck in position.

Sorry but this is just dumb.

Come on now, are you just a bit miffed because they are not Kiwi's ?

Little trip to Hereford

A Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ Orvis popped up on FB Marketplace in a breakers, I needed a better bonnet as mine is poo came away with this little lot



And it's the same colour

Someone has fitted Orvis rear seats and door cards to mine, rest of the trim bits to make the front door cards and trims match the rear







And it's one of those old fashioned yards where you can walk round and see what you want and take the parts off yourself

an empty wallet

For any broaching requirements please get in touch. I should think they will have paid themselves back in about 50 years.

The plus side is, they should last at least 50 years...
