Stuff you have made today

Knocked this one up yesterday while the mrs was out for a few hours
It was for her tbf, and she supplied the bits pre Christmas.

Lovely idea I wish I'd have thought of that for my ancient scroll saw before spending £22 inc pipes & tubes on a double element fish tank pump as the blower.
Might have a look at it in daylight tomorrow as it's not yet been modified .

Just seemed to make more sense to go that way. As I was using it, I thought I'm extracting from underneath, but then blowing the top layer everywhere. Honestly didn't expect it to work, but it appears to. The top was far less dusty, & there's some wood dust in the tubing.

Just made a puller for clutch on my 250 BSA. First part off my new to me south bend 9A so pretty pleased. It’s a funny shape as thats the only size bar I’ve got for now. You can buy these for £8 but where’s the fun in that.

Ugly but effective (hopefully).
Been getting weird overheat problems since fitting this fairing, and suspect the clean flow-through of air to the head and barrels is being obstructed, as in possibly a swirl pattern of stagnation interfering with clean flow, so decided to remove some of the heat via the oil.
Not much point putting the oil cooler where the problem is, so decided to mount in up front, in clear air.

Won't that interfere with your view?

You have made a very ugly bike, slightly uglier

That is beautiful.

Not in the slightest.

Might slightly unuglify it by mounting the cooler other way up. I'm leary of allowing the cooler to drain between starts, hence why it's the way it is.

Building a function generator based on an ICL8038 precision waveform generator. This will be used as a local oscillator in a heterodyne circuit.

I needed to replace one of the supplied potentiometers. Note the pricing on my replacement - new old stock.

We've had them for years. I'll message you.

You usually look over, rather than through.

Are you planning to fit a stone guard? Hot oil over your face, the discs, and the tyres might present you with a slight problem?

Utter scaremongering mince.

After the disapointment of the m8*0.5mm die from amazon I wanted to try the others so I can send any back. I was not planning to use the M10 any time soon so that can be first. Quite happy with the result. Tried the M8 again and it simply will not cut atleast not a 7.8mm bar and any less will loose valuable thread engagement.

The M6 cut nice with good chips. I didnt have suitable diestock or holder so used er40 collet chuck.

55mm long M6*0.5. It was not going to be fully threaded but I forgot to turn the end down.

Wish I could tell my dead brother the same thing.

Waterproof satnav case for the Garmin 50 (as it has free updates) and doesn't fit into the Give 4" case.

Rubber mounted off new handlebar clamps.

More bits for the chainsaw sharpener. M6 fine adjust screw is done. I was going to knurl and glue the nut in place but its a tight fit and is not moving.

Fitted with lock nut. This is not just for the fine adjust - the cheap standard fastner had so much slop while this new ones doesnt really need the locknut.
Grinding dust might be a pain with a fine thread, so I might glue a peice of fabric to protect it.

Angle adjust nut - the original is massive and gets in the way so this will be much nicer to use.

....made some threaded holes in my welding table I fabricated a few years back. Distraction side project this afternoon... should be handy for future fabrication jobs

A bit of knurled brass finishes anything & everything off to perfection.
