Sorted out this tray of hydraulic press pump parts that's been taking up my limited bench space for about 18 months. I made a new piston and cylinder, hardenend and lapped with an aluminium lap and diamond paste. It's longer for more support and the links keep the load from the lever closer to the axis of the cylinder to reduce the side load it's now got 30mm of travel instead of the approx 22mm it had originally.

Not really what the thread is about I suppose - but today I tried to fix/improve my mountain bike riding.
I undertook a Jumping Course today.
(I've mountain biked a few years & just learnt skills as I went along as it were - but Jumping beyond using "Speed & Stupid" instead of technique is a bit iffy at my advancing decrepitude... so I took some pointers from a Trainer. My technique is not "fixed" but I now have some base principles to practice & try to fix this aspect of my mountain biking)

I've had lunch and started watching YouTube videos on my coach, eventually got bored and repaired a chainsaw, I've then attempted to get it started
Pulled once but suddenly found myself on the couch and my phone flying across the living room...
I've instantly discovered it was only a dream, the chainsaw never existed but the pull rope uhm excuse me, the phone does.

Small thing. But a big step forwards from me. I said I had a heart attack in another thread. It has affected my mental health a lot, The tumble dryer was squealing like anything. I've just been and bought a new rear bearing for it and it's fixed now. Onwards and upwards

I put a bit of grease on with a small paint brush. I think I've got the moneys worth out of it

I turned mine 180 and put another fixing in it, kept it going for a good while
