Stuff you have made today

[Hitch]

I'm not necessarily convinced it reduces dust build up - when it gets sticky, there's now double the amount of crap stuck to it, just at an angle.

Yep, I agree personally

I made two dents in my Midget, when a metal petrol can fell from a great height onto it.
One in the boot lid, one in the rear deck.

Table Insert for an Axminster Mini Bandsaw.

Made a couple of nylon rollers.

A couple of aluminium keys for the tamper proof nuts I made for my mirrors.

Cut some 10mm Alu for a roller bracket, need gas so couldn't weld them up today.

A close up of the cut edge to show what Alu cut on the plasma looks like.

Also saw a vid on youtube of a tool and thought it a great idea so drew it up

And here it is in action.

Bit of a joint effort this one.
One of the apprentices was at a bit of a looses end, and the MD has been after some stainless flowers for a while.
Got him set up plasmaing some petals out, a few bits and bobs, bit of copper... and we managed these between us.

Test cuts on the xTool S1. Plywood, MDF and anodised aluminium. I am impressed with the ease of use.

'Cease fire' ?

Mostly tig brazing up a particularly annoying part in the rear mudguard assembly of a machine that I'm dragging together out of chaos...
Tig brazing has a very nice feel about it indeed....

Yes…it’s got to do with recoil compensation/ damping. Will make more sense when I post the rest of the photos of the bits that are related to how it works…. But I have to make them first

We used to have a brass measuring scale/pointer that you manually reset as part of firing preparations - it showed how far the barrel and breech had recoiled during firing, nominally it should have been 12 inches with a switch at about 14.5 inches to cut the loading system and firing circuits, and if things went really bad metal to metal contact happened at about 15 inches!

It started as a gearbox rebuild and it’s turned into a touch of rust repair.

Decided to fit car wheels and tyres to my topper as the fields are bumpy,hubs are 40mm diameter with a pair of oilite bushes,welded to 200 mm discs on a pcd to suit the wheels,anyone recognise their origin ? I

took them from a scrapyard 30ish years ago for a trolley I built.

How do you come by that,I forgot to include photos of them? Anyway they’re not mini as they’re 13”.

 

[MattF]

Added a thin ply top to where the bench drill sits, so as to save stuff dropping through the gaps between the slats when I'm drilling. It's a piece from the crate the chipper came in.



I'd placed the drill atop a stool on the floor whilst I did it. It's a heavy bugger, the drill. Started lifting it back up onto the bench after I'd done that, (and bear in mind this is a very confined space spot), using proper lifting technique, back straight, knees bent, then this sod, the mounting foot:



decided, when I'm in that halfway position between the stool & benchtop, to hook itself under my right nad. I can honestly say, that's not a fun situation to be in. Do you continue up or go back down? Safe lifting technique went out the window at that point, I can tell you. Got it back up on the bench though.

Common and easy to cone by!

Austin/Morris 1100/1300?, but may be those were 12".
Commonest 13" were probably Escorts.

So does posting pictures …

No it doesn't...

 

[oldbikedavey]

How would you know?

Simple extrapolation, my dear fellow.....

They look like Triumph Herald ones from this distance.
