Log store to fight the energy cost increase, we will be using the log burner a lot more this winter.

Side panels added to stop a log avalanche out the sides.

I'd put some slats across the middle too, so you could alternate which side you were using and have one side drying and one side ready. Just a thought!

It's also screwed to the fence posts so fairly stable.

Telescopic bottle car jack .I have failed.....
Confession time. I finished the splitter and went to test it with a bit of properly season wood, using both my drill and impact driver as the motive power. Got about 1.5" in and the jack buckled where I've shown in red in the following pic.

Wedge then turned sideways a good bit and looking at it, the jack isn't up to the joband I'm just going to 'rescue' the bits of pipe and scrap the rest. Not going to attempt any 'rebuild'/redesign. Cost me only the MIG wire, gas and time so no great loss. A bit disappointed to be honest, but Hey...Ho

I never got around to screwing these to the wall, because I couldn't decide where best to put it, it needs to be over a bench but preferably away from grinding dust, then I got distracted and left it somewhere safe until I needed it again. Today I bored the blocks out a bit bigger and split them to clamp onto a bit of stainless pipe which happened to be a nice sliding fit on the Olympus shaft, then screwed the whole thing to my desk.
Seems to work quite nicely there, just need to make a nice pin to replace the screwdriver, and have another go at making a controller for the focus and zoom motors. I also need to finish machining an M18 fine thumbscrew. There's a stop between the two Olympus parts that limit their rotation to about 240 degrees, I might saw/file it away so it can fold up a bit more compactly.
When I'm not using it I can take it all off and put it somewhere out of sight, it's just those plastic blocks that'll stay on there.

Yesterday afternoon I made a new window appear in the garage
the old
and new . As usual with the crappy garage they'ed just bricked over the window so a bit of 75 x 50 x 6 i couldn't get the bearing I would have liked because of the crappy bond in the brick work ! but it's 60 mil ish each side ,It's more as a bit of safety it's not carrying must weight just didn't want the brickwork sagging /cracking .
stemed in wit a bit of slate
just need to decide whether or not to replace the other window or cut in a side door .
Btw it was really hot too !

They're around 2-3mm away from it it's quite solid I suppose time will tell, first time working on a radiator of any sort rivnuts would be my last worry some of the welds are really bad, I'll not name the company there's welds on top of welds so obviously found a leak or 2
ah looked a lot tighter than that in the photos :-)

Built a small work bench to fit next to the mill out of stainless offcuts, and fitted the drawers from the old bluepoint trolley underneath. Was lazy and didn't mitre the tops.
I also made some extra long slotted end stops from some 200x20mm flat bar. All of this was yesterday.
