Stuff you have made today

This afternoon I tried to make the range rover have paddle shifts

but sadly it wasn't to be , I've something wrong some where either the power to the transmitter


it's a fiddly little un pin job , pin in a piggy back cable and then join the original live . then the receiver feed which is

scotch locked to a switched live under the center console , everything other than those two is pretty much plug and play .
the .I was only on a couple of hours but it started peeing down , I'm hoping the scotch lock just hasn't pierced the small red live feed for the receiver . that'll be a job for tomorrow now ,at least I havn't got to take everything back out again to check it

Started making lights for a couple of Hetzer tanks that are being restored. Amazing what you can do with broken greenhouse glass, a diamond hole saw and an old iPhone…

 

[Johnnybravo]

iPhone used to program the temperature controller on the little dental kiln I am using. Added bonus of Wi-Fi is real time data logging so I can see what’s going on without having to go out to the workshop. Controller could do with a bit more PID tuning, but accurate control in a very small kiln was always going to be a challenge.

Once trimmed they will go into the housings I made earlier.

Well by dinner time I had working paddle shifts As we men do I skimmed the destuctions and then skimmed the YT vid as I new better checked power to the receiver all good but in my undeniable infinite wisdom I'd connected the power for the transmitter to the wrong white plug a rewire to the correct white plug the feed from the slip ring and jobs a gud un . How can one be pleased and annoyed with yourself at the same time

Practically completely disassembled the Husqvarna K770 Power cutter.
Yet to disassemble the crankshaft and engine block,but this isn't probably required cause it's just 3 years old, and the bearings seem fine , crank seals concern me little bit but the looks fine .
Cylinder is salvageable so I'll keep it ,piston is completely scrap.
I'm pretty confident that they ran this K770 on straight gasoline do to the fact the piston has melted on the top.
But could have been lean too but I didn't found any possible air leaks .
I'm not sure about the cause of the failure but the piston was bone dry no oil and even the pin was dry .
Bottom end is oily cause I've tried to start it using spray oil and brake cleaner ( it does work but had no success with this saw)
Anyways here's the thumbnail for the video which is actually uploading

Did some brackets for a solar system.
It calls „balkonsolar“ here in Germany.
You can generate 600W for own consumption without massive paperwork.
