A ballnut replacement housing. A chunk of aluminium hacksawed out of a block that I thought might come in handy one day.
Yes, I know that there's a bandsaw in the background, but I'd sawn maybe 2/3rds by hand before I thought of it. Yes, it's a wood saw, but has an aggressive blade that's just right for aluminium. Allen Millyard, eat your heart out
Just the fixing holes to drill tomorrow.

I built a 1:1 balun for a dipole today. I had to get a bit of help for the toroid but I managed everything else myself 
The soldering is a bit rubbish but considering the state of my hands I am very pleased.

That looks great, but I have absolutely no idea what it is or what it's for!I built a 1:1 balun for a dipole today. I had to get a bit of help for the toroid but I managed everything else myself

Hay again, the little Leyland and acrobat has done an average job of tossing it about for the past 5 days, or perhaps it was me doing the average job! bailing tomorrow so if you all can refrain from doing the rain dance it would be appreciated
Just need the baler to work and it will all be stress free and hunky dory...

An acrobat is relatively poor at tedding hay, it sort of turns it over but doesn't really scatter it out like a haybob for example. It is really good at rowing hay, but it has a tendency to twist it into a rope. You have to be careful when baling otherwise the baler will start pulling in the hay 20 feet in front of it because it is all twisted together.
Why the extension on the tractor exhaust?

Could that actually be an inlet snorkel ? After all they are expecting excessive rains in the near future.

Absolutely, its not ideal but the little acrobat was free! I keep looking for something a bit more modern but all the second hand stuff has been "farmered" so its knackered, exhaust extension to keep the by product of the little Leyland out of my lungs!
Thats either a very light tractor, or someone stole the bar?

Pair of tap holes in stainless steel worktop and overhead sink + common outline. I wonder how much a job like this would cost in Britain...

Glued. Light gray PU sealant. Pairs well with stainless steel.

So about 9 ish this morning, I decided I needed to remove a propellor, as I'd already removed the skeg and rudder, to change the cutlass bearing, boats been sold, client request.... Doesn't actually need changing, but clients always right etc.
So 14 years ago in urgence, I banged together this simple but effective extractor, which until today had never failed to work.
Today it wasn't having it.
M16 threaded rod, couple of disks, one with a slot in it goes over the prop shaft, before I started tightening.
Anyway instead of the prop eventually popping off, it just resisted, and the tired 8mm steel, just bent.
Need something more hardcore.
12mm steel, plasma cut, ground tidyish, big drills bought, much drilling later, had this.
Just got to cut some threaded bar tomorrow, pull the old one off, and reattack.
Actually I've left it for my new colleague to do tomorrow, as I've a day off tomorrow.
Hence instructions.
Bloody boats.
