Stuff you have made today

[Richiew]

It's show enormous self restraint, not to have filled it with crap.

Give it time.

Thanks - this is the key thing! We absolutely do not hang on to stuff that isn't going to be useful or valuable. Also a bit of a unique situation on this farm where brother and I share the shop, but I tend to use it more.
Today i have every single flat surface covered in either spindles or stainless box section

 

[Jan-DIY]

Nothing special.
Just a rig to get the bins to the street.

Agree, although I'm not sure which I'm most envious of - tidy or large

Both in equal measure

Electrical cabinet finished, just have to mount the lamp. Although I am thinking of using one of the "angel eyes" on the head instead

My DIY compressor build took a backseat to focusing on the shed build, but today I had nothing better to do for a while so I went and welded up material to make a bigger plate to mount the motor and block on, instead of the plywood I had made earlier.

I still need to make a mount for the motor, I will probably have to mill slots so I can move the motor sideways for tightening the belt.

Today I have actually made some space in the garage

the problem is it's all down the other end now

this has been ongoing since it's been re roofed , got rid of loads and found stuff I didn't know I had like 3 cobblers lasts

a bosch hot air gun

also made up a chain for the bottle on the tig truck

I'm lookin g foward to moving the tig in tomorrow , still got lots to get rid of but market place is a bit like pulling teeth these days

Got a stainless hauler ejector knife in today, he got his moneys worth out of it
Forgot to take a pic of it until I had welded and ground one side but this shows the best side, the other was even more worn.

Filled the second side with weld. Normally I would tig it but used the stick on this as I had so much to fill.

All done.

That's a lot of wear is it normal ?

Normally they get them filled long before they reach that state. They do get a lot of abuse though, miles of rope hauled every day and the ropes are wet and covered in grit/mud so quite abrasive.

Rope is scarily abrasive, I've seen carabiners nearly cut through from a running rope.

And that will be relatively clean/dry rope, after it has been on the seabed for a day or three it is full of sand it will be a thousand times worse.

Robin have you tried 307?

I get paid for filling them

I mean I could recommend a specific stainless hardfacing alloy, and you could tell them it will last x amount of time but costs 4 times as much.

But I would get bored if I didn't have them to do

…and then his Africa Twin would put on so much weight it would look like an Africa Triplet …

Take you mean like a Triumph Tiger?
