Stuff you have made today

[Kram]

Replaced the indicator strip on my dads mirror. The original had cracked and let water in, would have failed MOT next month. The other side is undamaged. As a comparason, the amazon import is better made, brighter* and more amber coloured vs a pale yellow on original. It fits well and has a foam strip/seal on the outside. Local Kia dealer no longer sells parts to public only servicing, and would have been over £100, vs £20.

* Its a sht design with LED or two at the ends and a light bar. A normal bulb side repeater is much more noticable even if in a worse position.

Not really made in a day, but some more work on my rotisserie

A bit of wood bothering too. The middle leg from a settee that was scrapped.

I forgot about the catch plate, but I've a spare piece that I'll finish tomorrow. Then it's playing 'hunt the catch plate'

Drove my loved Punto to go to work today after 7 or 8 months.
I wasn't sure I was still able to drive it after all this time using my Audi A4...
Anyways engine warning light still on till this afternoon when I went back to work after lunch .
Then this evening on the road to home I've took it on the highway after an half tank of fresh gasoline, and had little bit of longer shifts up to 3500 rpms.
Now it's way better surely there still was air in the fuel line ,or the cat was little clogged ...
Anyways it changed sound an now feels way better,more rich without bogging here and there .
I'm very happy.
Now on Saturday I'll wash both the Punto and the A4 ,an I'll try to sell the Audi cause I never felt anything for it.
Too expensive to keep it (it needs a lot of work and money about 1500euros + insurance 600 euros and owning taxes ,700 for trespassing and 400+ euros every year, are way to much money, I prefer to use it for other things TBH)

A door, was a real PITA to try and keep straight(ish), a welding table would be nice but just no place to put one

Vegetable patch planter - some metal was involved.



Used 305mm Lamberjack sliding mitre saw for first time, mighty! went through sleepers like butter.



Looks a bit medieval, horse coffin - oh bugger, I can't lift it

How about a few long planks and a couple of acrow props to use as rollers?

She wouldn't shirk it, but her wheelbarrow control is something else - possibly a tactic, knows it pains me.

Good idea, I have some scaffold boards also bench press bars and big round weights - where there's a will, there's a way
