But it is so cute.
Can I paint it pink?

Got the back part of the adapter made and made up an O Ring for it from 1.6mm cord. Also turned the OD of the cap screw head so that it will seal against the O Ring.

Got the bevels cut on the block and then fully assembled.

Tested out to see if the coolant was working and as can be seen it is fine. I didn't turn anything as I really don't want to get the Acetal swarf soaked again as I need to get it hoovered up.

I made the decking nice and clean ready for clear coat tomorrow

Where do you buy your resin and tints from please?

Most of stuff I use, resin and metal powders are from Stiles and Bates, the epoxy I've used here is Glass cast 50. I've also bought casting resin, polyurethane and polyester from easy composites, they do the glass cast 50 as well but I like giving stiles and bates the business. Most of my dyes and pigments are just from amazon.

Thanks, looking at the site now.

Couple more posts done. Easy ones today. Ordered 2 65 and a 152mm diamond drill for the lasy two.
Having a problem with the 2 stroke borer. It used to start easy but now dead. It'll start and run with brake cleaner, throttle held open so it gets plenty of oil.

More workshop beautification. Someone gave me a load of 130cm lengths of angle iron a while ago so I’ve turned them into a sheet metal trolley.

 

[Ashley Burton]

@Tupers you can't beat having a trolley!

I built one previously in the past & it makes life easier with sheet material 100%

Never seemed to be able to locate the correct rod for whatever needed welding. Made this rack out of some 6" nails welded to some scrap box section, the length of Galvo guttering has the shorter lengths of silver solder and such in it.

Rather productive day today

Made some security grills

Made a stand for my shear, needs a brace to the wall.



Pretty pleased for 4hours. Effort

Tomorrow I'll play if everything is still working

I've been making a Vedette boat engine into a half-decent daily driver in a Morris Minor. Glad the engine had been 'dipped' before the rebore. Boat engines seem to rust from the inside-out. This engine out to be a bit nippier than before. That carb elbow is a new casting from a guy in Luton that leaves the carb lower to clear the bonnet on a Sprite/Midget. Not bad!

@cardiffrob Is that a super charger ?

Continued with the destruction but I've ran out of oxygen now

Needing to ration the plasma jobs, running out of jobs and materials.

Engine borer wad playing up, not starting easy with brake fluid, then not at all. It seems the head bolts were loose and the wilko tissue box gasket did not survive. Stripped and cleaned, with a new Cadburys Brunch bar gasket instead As the only gasket paper I have is too thick 2.4mm. Starts easily again

Still munching away with the plasma but it's much harder work.
