Stuff you have made today

Lovely
Whenever I complete my workshop, I'd love to make a Lugli Lilliput replica (maybe using one o my old lombarini engine in it)

Thanks. You should do it! However, the danger of it is, once you’ve made the tractor, there’s an endless - limited to your imagination of course - amount of attachments you’ll end up wanting to make for it. You’ll never be stuck for something to do!

loving the dogs as well, especially the black one

Thanks, old Ghillie is my parents dog, and is 12. I’ve always taken a picture of him with anything I’ve made. The red pair is mother and daughter. They’re a bit easier on the eye than using a ‘banana for scale’!

That's a good location. Can you post photo's of the rack without the hammers ?

I made 300 countersunk holes in some aluminium section for my cedar fence project...off to the powdercoaters now ready for this weekends build phase..

This should give you a handle on the design.

I’m never short of a rusty mini door to repair.

Very nice repair

I was using a drawer, but I'm tidying so need the drawer. As the cabs don't move I removed one of the handles to bunch then up, so had the spare handle. Two birds, got a hammer rack and won't lose the handle!

Have been waiting to finish this but will show some pics.

Hydraulic tank for the boat with the gantry, posted prevoiusly. The tank is 200l capacity at 80% of internal volume to allow for expansion. The tank is made of two halves as the engine room access hatch is too small to fit the tank in one piece. Left side is the return side, with dual return filters, filler and the return spear which drops the return oil to the bottom of the tank to help stop turbulence and airation of the oil.

The right hand side is the supply side, with sight glass. It has a 20mm doubler welded to the bottom through which a 3" BSP S/S pipe passes through.
To join the tanks I will be using Loctite 518 and 99 m6 bolts.
The lids require 56 m6 bolts and 518 to attach.

The 3" S/S BSP pipe passes through the bottom of the tank and will be sealed with Areldite. The suction strainer will be screwed onto the 3" BSP parallel thread and the 3" S/S ball valve will be screwed to the bottom thread witch is 3"BSP taper. Still have to make a stand and attachment points in the engine room followed by the plumbing and pump mounting. This is when the fun starts. For those that are interested the alloy is 6mm 5083

Hmmm, stainless next to alli - what about galvanic corrosion?

Knocked up a few pairs for my 6 & 4" a while back - thought about some mild checkering for a bit of bite but not sure how to go about it - or in fact if it's a good idea!

Not as tarty as this but get the idea.



Could be one for the laser enabled crew?

I think the first thing you grip in those jaws and the pattern will be destroyed.

You could use a fly cutter on a mill with fast auto feed so it's intermittently cutting and repeat it the cut at 45°?

Use the vice & risk ruining those... Are you mad?

Copper is a bad material to laser... It reflects a lot of the laser energy which can sometimes damage the laser itself.
