Yar but you don't want to glaze the bore pootling around...

I don't think there's any chance of that lol!.

Finally got the wear block out of the baler, definitely seen better days
I assume its oak? looks like im going to have to get all @Dr.Al and sharpen the chisels!
I've only got what I assume is sapele or some other type of redish hardwood, I wonder what the wear rate of that would be?

Third window now restored and converted to slimline double glazing in the original sash, the first two took a fortnight each, I got this this one down to 7 days.

5 more to go.

Found 3 bits 30x80 x 1000mm (planks) I was told it was Iron wood or a cousin can cut it up int 500 mm length
You only want what you need due to weight
I know nothing about wood other than what I was told it is heavy and hard

Thanks for checking but unfortunately its going to be a bit small unless it would glue successfully to make a bigger chunk?

A good friend of mine asked me advice about a pantograph, essentially a milling machine but manually moved through a die to cut cylinders openings on aluminum doors etc
Anyways it cracked so either way aluminum or cast iron welding, he's a metal fabricator but this was more a machinist (me) job.
I've recently got my first Tig welder so why not?
First attempts with the little AC/DC 200P
And impressed so far, not the most sophisticated machine as it has no foot pedal nor torch controller capabilities.
As no shown values from either AC balance or frequency but they are still adjustable.
Need more practice with it but still happy with it

Not the cleanest material either but happy so far

Can't help with gluing.
Would think it could be a problem

Son lost the refill cap on his water pistol. Urgent job as he had a shootout to attend. Quickly knocked this up and he was well impressed.
