Bimble down to Granite worktops, a place near you and ask to have a look in their recycle bin or off cuts for a top.

Granite... now that will bump the prices up...

The one in Windmill hill?

Been busy watching my 3D printer printing out a non spill oil brush pot for my lathe.

I also printed out a little 1-12 scale car battery for a miniature workshop/shed I’m frittering free time on building. That’s the wee black square thing on the left.

Be nice and ask, but take what you are offered.

Found a bit of rusty tat up the garden and since the fashion is to 'upcycle' tat, I made a table out of it. I am going to cover the ply with something, as soon as I remember where I left it.

I made a pastry table like that with thick granite top

Stick a magnet to the bottom of the oil pot.
Keep meaning to make one myself.

I hope the printed plastic is not soluble in cutting oil or it wont be spill proof for long. :scared:

I’ve used pla, so should be ok for the oil I use. Have to admit, I did a quick google before I started printing.

Decided to have a bit of tig brazing practice. Made myself a torch holder. It clamps onto the side of my welding "trolley" so I can put it wherever is convenient. It's intended only for holding the torch(es) while I'm actually doing a job - for convenience - rather than permanent storage.
