Stuff you have made today

[Barking Mat]

Not made but installed.

And yes I should have slapped some paint on first, and I might Hoover the bilge...

Autot#erm Russian webasto...

But it didn't work.

It was damaged in shipping, the fan doesn't spin, and my colleague says the pump needs to be less than a meter from the fuel tank.

****! (bottom).

Replacement unit on its way.

Rubbish week glad it's over frank!y.

Having broken the jigsaw I decided it'd be better with a drill style variable trigger, which Ive got spare andfits perfectly, and the jigsaw control board would be much more usefull transplanted into the sander
Took a bit of modifying as the board is double the width, and I wasnt sure it'd like running off 24v, which the sander motor wants. Works fine. Cabled as I'll be using the lipo packs

Well my contribution.
Today she got wet.

That's not me at the wheel, but our local Wurth sales rep. He is into boats and wanted to see if all my effort would result in something usefull, so he got to drive it off the trailer. It is clad with reflective orange wrap and will need to get the official identifications next week. Also have to fit the lexen screen, GPS sounder platter, life ring and life bouy light, complete the wiring and we are good to go. Handover is supposed to be Tuesday week, so hoping no more supprisers

Not entirely today.. Measured up weeks ago, delivery of steel went less than perfectly, I fell apart and then on tuesday I took this part made to fit it. Customer 'Had an Idea' so everything back in the van to go home and modify. Got home to find not everything had gone in. The railing was still at the customers. Went back yesterday to fetch the railing, and do the idea. Back this morning, fitted it, then another idea, another trip back to home to impliment said idea, then back to the customers to finish the job off. Nothing was square, nothing was level and customers house was 25 miles from mine. Still, all done now..

Switch plate to convert a rubbish bathroom fan in the wall into a PIR for an in-line fan in the attic, using the old power cable as the switch...hopefully sometime soon.

Thought it was white until I put it next to something that actually is white - oh well

I made my dehumidifier happy today, 6 new PCB touch buttons so I can refit the control panel that has been hanging out for 4 years and gave it a clean inside too. This was full of plaster when I was asked to find out why it wasn't working and the guy bought a proper industrial one telling me to skip it. That was several years ago.

Filter needs a clean! The ice tells me two things don't runn it flat out and there is gas in it. New foam on order, switches fitted and a thorough clean inside at a total cost of £12.10 including a spare filter foam. Years of service an that's all I have spent on it other than time and electricity. Purring nicely now.

I started on a lid for the rubbish bin

More pointers.

Why?
I was board.
Still now power tools, but I still made noise.



My old wood working teacher always said.
In every ugly bit of wood and beautiful bit of wood will be found.





Rough cut, Cooping saw.
It takes time and coffee.
Band saw would had it done in seconds, but I am not that daft.




Drinking Teak oil, faster than I drink coffee.

Hi everyone so
Today I've had to buy firewood with my father.
So tipped the rear seats put a blanket to save my car's interiors
Loaded and unloaded .
Eat fish for lunch .
Got hired for a job I'll be working tomorrow.
And once my nephew wake up I've been working on my chainsaw .
Nothing special just an homeowner grade jonsered .
Which seems to have been made by Husqvarna from what I've understood reading a Facebook group (Stihl users group)
No matter who made it TBH , just curious to know if it's really made by Husqvarna or not .
Can someone please tell me if it's true or not ?, first time I'm having to do with jonsered product,I just know that it's a good brand from users ratings.
So essentially I've saved this saw from the trash bin while working on a jobsite.
Previous owner gave it to me when I've had to repair other things for him .
I've managed to make it run a while ago , replacing the diaphragms on the carb .
But discovered soon where was the problem.
It didn't have power and the engine was inconsistent and it did rev up way too fast
Removed the clutch cover and discovered that the entire power output components were missing ,so no clutch ,no sprocket , and no clutch bell.
Thanks to @MCKDAVID who commented a thread about chainsaws I've posted...
He offered to help me ,he sent me the missing parts with no charges for them.
Thanks again David
So back to the saw , after little bit of adjustments to fit the clutch properly I've managed to make the chainsaw work again.
Very happy .
Then I've removed the muffler to check the exhaust port and discovered that I was working on an half modded saw .
So I've completed the muffler mod .
Nothing special they forgot to make the final exhaust outlet bigger.
So measured the exhaust port, two calculations , and made the muffler outlet roughly 60% of the port dimensions .
Now it runs really well with a good sound .
Tomorrow I'll test it to make the final adjustments on the carb
But I'll have to do the job previous mentioned before to play
