You and almost everyone else and that is why the few that remain are sought after by enthusiasts.
We are slowly clearing the contents of my Father's house and have been amazed by what does and sometimes does not sell on ebay, no 8 track tapes but we have shifted lots of junk that in non lock down times would have just gone in a skip.
Saturday - added on a second corner platform in the dairy tank house, for a second 250 litre hot water heater.

Thanks, that kinda explains it, but I'm not much the wiser.
Electronics and even most elektrickery is beyond my comprehension and is best left to 'em as knows - know your limitations is my motto.

looks a good job but why have a flexi between cylinder banks?

Today I got a load of Aluminium sheets and a 2m x 1m x 3mm 316 sheet.
Cut 3 of the 5mm sheets of Aluminium up on the plasma, knackered myself dragging it round and lifting it onto the plasma myself as no one was around today to give me a hand
Anyway this is the cut up sheets.
It is to make a vent and access point into an old Ice House that will be having a freezer unit built inside it. The only way the get to the compressor/condenser units will be through an opening in the top.
This is what the Aluminium will be turned into in the next few days.
I also got some of the stainless milled out to make the front panel for the Isolator switches.
And a pic of both, one fitted to the bank of isolators and the other just off the mill beside it. I gave one a quick polish up but will do a better job tomorrow.

Went to paint a gate this morning .
Then in the evening I've bring some tools I've repaired to a customer of mine ,got paid.
Had to make my first real driver manouver
Parked the car and once back found it closed between two cars .
Put reverse gear , lightly use of the clutch once my rear bumper touched the front one of the idiot's car used throttle and clutch to move the other car to can go out
Once back home had to struggle to find a parking .

Collected up 360 of the other weekends enjoyment, and hot snotted them on to some LED fairy lights for the kids.

Almost forgot, after the break in the kennels became a bit of a priority. Tools can be replaced, but good luck on getting to them.

I wish I’d have know I’ve got them ones that the customer wouldn’t pay for
Good question. I put one there because there was one on the factory crossover pipe (2 separate cast manifolds and a mild steel crossover pipe). I assumed to allow for movement due to expansion. Now you've asked... I'm wondering: Is it necessary?

The only logical reason would be for ease of fitment on the studs each side having a bit of movement to jiggle about
If the distortion on the rear frame I made to cover the gearbox is anything to go by, I'll be needing that
You couldn't get a weldpool; then it is too cold? Maybe the bottom plate was flat on a steel tabel? If you lay it on a welding wire, the layer of air in between will prevent the heat to go into the table.
Tig practise with some 3mm sheet trying to put holders on the wall. Not sure what went wrong but couldnt get anything to stick on the sheet below, it is the same stuffThe other bit flowed nicely even if it looks rubbish!
Nice way to make these holders!

Inbox some details, sizes, price, etc. and we’ll go from there. Couple of other doors to do yet, and a load of window bars too eventually.
