Stuff you have made today

[Blobber]

Made an aluminium pin to replace the stainless button head on the gear pedal.

Also got some leather from a place that just sells leather and associated things rather than the stuff I previously got from Amazon. What a difference, it is 50% thicker and yet it cut in 2 passes of the laser instead of 5 on the thinner stuff so I decided to make replacements of the two keyring fobs I made yesterday.

Also made a couple for myself, one with text cut out and the other with the background cut out, they are still drying off so will see what they look like once dried.

The detail on those is amazing

Just done a few more, spaniel for my big siter, redid the street triple one with text etched instead of background, did a bobber one and the KTM one after the dubbin has dried.

Oh and my AT one now it has dried.

Was thinking of seeing if my Honda dealer would stock a few but got news yesterday that both the Dundee and Aberdeen branches have closed with immediate effect due to the owner retiring. Not really a believable reason but don't know what the real reason is. He seemed a nice guy so not sure. Feel sorry for the mechanics and sales staff and it will be sadly missed as they were a great dealership

Shame you're not into masochism. Looks like you could make yourself some impressive personalised bondage gear.

He can also make the stainless steel "food grade" framework to hold it all up...

One of the operators lost a pin retainer from the 2" ram pin on our concrete pulveriser at work. We spent half an hour looking for it in the rubble then gave up because I said I could make one quicker.

So this evening, I did.

Send a fitter

 

[redlig]

To be honest I never noticed it was in the way. Only have it up there to check the date.

Is there any relevance in the fact that the photo is pinned along with a selection of brushes?

Send a fitter

How would a fitter fix that with only a BFH and a pipe wrench?

Poor wooly was a lonesome sheep
Without a friend at all
The other sheep all shunned her cos she's like a cotton ball
So wooly lies out in the scrub
Chewing on her bitter cud
With all the flock around her stood in quiet condemnation
But wooly will see out her days munching turnips grass and hay
Remembering her lambs that played in summer in those far off days
And then she'll sigh and have a bleat and stretch out in the sun to sleep
Digesting grass from meadows sweet
And dream a dream of every sheep of Valleys green of waters deep
Of winding trails
And mountains steep


A little ditty I penned while on holiday in Wales about an old sheep in the field below our cottage.
