Stuff you have made today

[MattF]

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.

if the owner got off his mobile phone then they might get straight lines done

just too busy glued to a phone screen/notebook is what im going with

Broke the camera lens glass on my Chinese special phone, ordered a pair on ebay from China and 3 pairs turned up
Only shows 2 1/2 pairs in the photo as I've fitted one to take the picture

I wouldn't mind but the lens was fine when I changed it in the above post
It's on the list of jobs to do!

Well not today but yesterday, Reinforced a safe door, although the safe was of the required British Standard, "someone" and we can all guess who that was, thought it insufficient so wanted it strengthening, now I am off to see if my truck bed spray paint will work





Now watch, the morons will suggest solid bar, instead of tube would have been "better", absolute racing certainty.

Often you can cut through the back of a safe with a tin opener.

Firearms officer had to leave friends licence renewal visit early for an emergency inspection. someone came home from holiday to large hole in back of house where they removed the cabinet from the outside!

 

[badabec]

What would the emergency inspection reveal? A big hole.
Prioritise the guns you can see, not a hole where they used to be.

From what i can gather 3rd hand, the police needed confirmation of all the serial No's registered to that property, when was the last inspection and to grill the owner on who knew he had a large/expensive gun collection.
The police were on site and wanted the FAO to attend, maybe they wanted a group hug!!

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.

Great job!

What 3d scanner did you use for that please? Or was it a phone app with a Lidar capable phone?

 

[Blue Chips]

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

Here's an ARTICLE about it.

I havent had much success with phone photo gommetry when I tried it, and I built a open source Cyclops scanner a few years back and that was a flop too being honest so I was tainted against it but my son is doing a metrology apprenticeship and they have some photogommetry stuff for realtime qc in production that's amazing, although its amazing prices of course so I took a gamble and got a Creality scan raptor and while it has its quirks and the software is comically bad ( I can see the look of pain on some ex creality 3d printer owner's faces from here...) , after some pain I'm begining to get the hang of working around these and getting reasonable results.

You have more patience than me then.

It's missing something

 

[Memmeddu]

Failed Rotary hammer repair.
Not worth the risk to fix it and replacing wear parts

 

[steve t]

Got part paid for a job with 6 mtr purloins so be rude not to use them. Not all done today mind.
