One half is a two sided pneumatic spot welder and the other is the gun which you can use for dent pulling, stud/nut welding, shrinking and single sided spot welds.

Nice, might have to do some reading on that, not that I can justify one

And I was hoping it was £20 from Temu

It was £20 from Temu. Unfortunately, Tupers bought the last one so you missed out.

Having it sit on the workbench with the cables at full stretch to the doorway was annoying so I sacrificed an old skate I made a while back and knocked up a quick a dirty welding trolley with offcuts until I can find the time to make a proper one.

I bought a new toy from Stakesys and started making some pieces for a bodyshell trolley.

So far it’s much faster and tidier than slitting a welding or smashing the vice with a lump hammer.

What's its maximum width of fold?

judging on the rule infront of it I'd guess 300mm?

I never even noticed that rule sat there.

Its the special camouflage on it, makes it hard to spot

The reason I needed to get the welder off the workbench.

A friend purchased a bangle holder off Temu and when it turned up it virtually collapsed under the weight of itself. She asked me if I could make something similar for her.

This is the result.

 

[MattF]

I like that. Looks good.

Picnic bench...

 

[chunkytfg]

Looks great. Did it work out cheaper than actually just buying one? When I've priced up garden furniture like that in the past I've struggled to buy the materials for what they charge for the built item

About £85 pressure treated wood (21 lengths 89mm x 38mm x 1.6m), £10 fastenings (decking screws and stainless steel coach bolts and acorn nuts) and £25 paint. The cheap ones I've seen are flimsy. Longest part was painting it.

I knocked up ours out 3 lengths of 6x2s and a length of 4x2. I think I could knock them out in about 20 minutes on my own but I was using a nail gun.

I think materials was about £30 if that per bench (pressure treated timber but I do have a discount).

Not so much made today as updated today. Two PCBs for the RTTY/CW transceiver modem. The front panel is just a low resolution test in situ. Final version will be bright yellow with black text.

I was expecting more "RYRYRYRY" on the screen if it's RTTY

Is it a modern version of the PK232?

Still got mine
