Stuff you have made today

I also made quite the cockup and sent a package for down south to Italy and a package for Italy down south!

That's what I get for late night postage buying on ebay sales now I'll have to pay to get it back and send the right package if ebay can't stop it in time (sent via their GSP)

I made a box from a box and a crude but effectively way to stop the bottom of the box giving out!

Although I think the supervisor prefers the box in its original form.

Don't send the dog!

Don't send the dog!

He obviously thinks he's a cat, with all that getting in boxes malarkey

Don't send the dog!

Fascinating fact: Prior to 1920, it was possible to send children by post in USA.

Cockapoo but more of a dog hardware running on cat software

Yep, they do exist, our Westies one of them, soft as a soft pussycat. Contrast with Salimali, one of our earlier ones, would have your finger off if you wound it up. Used to play the game with it every night after work, usually ended up with a bleeding finger..

Shame that's not still an option, might be quite useful!

That’ll teach you to tease a dog, says he who lays with our JR every night

I made a mast/life raft holder today, not finished but got the bulk of it welded up. A welding table would have been easier but I don't have the room so my vice has to do.

Radar plate welded on, just have to weld the mast pole and weld the light and aerial brackets on and then I can place on the wheelhouse and scribe for the feet. Also a mackerel stripper box I made yesterday in the background.

It's nice to see you back to work on the fishing boat stuff after all that Honda gizmo malarkey

Had a sort out of workshop pc and gave it more grunt for CAD work with a uplift then made some shelving from leftover 2020 and 2040 profile to organize above my poor mans surface plate (its a old cast iron machine table, but accurate enough for most work) & a lot of 3d magnetic targets for 3d scanning, need a drink to recover from putting 3mm dots on newly printed targets but its a lot easier to do larger objects with the tall markers because you can "walk" up the spots on them to get to the high bits.
Did also repurpose a powered lazy susan I use for resin curing as a scanning turntable. Now to get that spare bare 4.6 rover v8 block scanned so i can make up some fixturing to hold it in the cnc

Good job, but you'd have been better off with a pedant on here!

Made a hole bunger upper for Mrs Waddycall’s commercial sink in the soap making workshop. Had the bit of delrin for about 15 years!

 

[Dozzer]

Sorry its more house related stuff.
Finished the bathroom, this weekend, fitted & plumbed the Sink, Toilet and a load of other jobs.

Not a 'made today' although I did post the raw steel pic when it was made. Torch 1/4 is installed now, the handle and electrics were done by my father while I was doing the metalwork.

Torch basket is made from 30x3 flat bar throughout, mounts are 30x3 flat bar welded to make a 60x60 swuare and 12mm solid round rolled into 55 and 30mm ID rings, and some 12x1mm wall tube to pass cable though on top mount. The 'rivets' are upholstery nails

Today I made a 3d model from my spare 4.6 rover v8 block. I will tidy it up a few places and convert it into a format usable in cad rather than a point cloud and extract some geometry to make some fixtures to mount it in a machine to top hat it next, but also tempted to scan some heads and rocker covers and front covers of different versions and I can mess about in cad making a mixup of a later serpentine motor with early appearance and single vee drive to confuse the rivet counters.

That time of year, hay time!
1st year we've cut it ourselves with our new to us cutter so what could possibly go wrong!

Mounted

We'll it's layed down in submission so it must be ok

We'll see how it fluffs up over the next day or so, think the tractor needs some steering work as its very wandery and difficult to keep a straight line

It's probably just trying to escape your ever present black cloud.
