Im not that talented, its just that I make small(ish) things, there are loads of people on here who are talented at different things.....like yourself being talented in having the vision to see the sculptures that you're making, now to me thats a real talent,

That reminds me of a load of brass swarf I gave someone from here to fill a resin kitchen worktop with, never heard whether or not it worked...

Fitted a Moscha swivelling spout to the old slurry spreader last night. It came with brackets but had to build a new one to bolt on where the old splash plate attached.
It's kinda cool
ran a test load of dirty water through it and it does as advertised - splish-splashes from side to side, throws rather than squirts, and spreads large droplets rather than spray. Much better than a splash plate, and a lot cheaper/simpler than a dribble bar. Looking forward to seeing the spread pattern in heavy slurry.
Basically the equivelent of a HVLP spray gun, it cuts down on volatiles and doesn't cap the grass in a heavy coat of slurry.

I'd be interested too see how you get on with it, we could be looking at something for our tankers.

Not really made, But single speeded the drivetrain on my city bike properly
Now using a single speed freewheel & not a random 5 speed one
Chain line is pretty much direct, Using a stronger BMX chain & the gear ratio seems spot on!

Well, the ring has a middle to it now. The idea is unashamedly plagiarized from this very site and from a very creative member, thank you.
Massive amounts of Brownie Points she is really made up with it:
I made this from pieces of 3mm Corten bought from yet another member of this site. I had no plans for it at the time but I knew it would come in for something and here we are!
I have left it up to the Witch to decide where it should go.

Renovated a drawknife, one of two from my grandmothers place.
Started with electrolysis for rust removal.
Removed most of the dirt from the handles, see the other for an example of what they both looked like.
Stained the handles and blackened the ferrules using a blow torch and oil dip.
Then I just needed to start using it. Pine sap gets everywhere! I feel like I need to bathe in isoproply alcohol.

make yourself a double skin and fill between them a mix of lead shots, aluminium nuggets or swarf, broken carbide and concrete to make a pretty much undrillable and uncuttable wall.

Don't glue the handles on.
Hot fit them. They are designed to give if you get to tough working a knot. The handles come off, not the blade showing the world your insides.
To much blood will stain the sap wood.
The cutting angle is set to you, not to a fix angle. The ground angle is set to local condition.
