Stuff you have made today

[Hood]

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.

I'll copy your idea

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.

Fabricobbled together out of the scrap that was kicking around in suitable lengths.

I wish I’d have know I’ve got them ones that the customer wouldn’t pay for

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

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

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 stuff The other bit flowed nicely even if it looks rubbish!

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.
Nice way to make these holders!

I made 3 different sized pipe stand offs to get around the posts in the wall and then got my new hardline installed.

Looks a terrible workshop

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.

Good setup on the lines, but is that footpeg a styling upgrade

I built my kennels *around* my workshop.

The two dogs i had at the time had a reputation amongst the local smackhead population.

99mm deep bore in 102mm long round and the bar held by less than an inch.
A quick test it works well. Plenty of magnet power gets through.

 

[Nauticus]

I'm really sorry chaps (and chapeses).

I just HAD to do this!

EVERY time I see "Stuff you have made today", my warped sense of humour pushes this into my head.

Today I made a couple of stainless panels for the donkey engine controls for the two new Cats I will be fitting out shortly.
The tab feature in Fusion is brilliant and so easy to use. It means when cutting right through you can leave wee tabs so the inside bits don't pop out and snap a cutter. Once removed from the table they are fairly easy to break free although stainless is a bit tougher than aluminium or steel.

I then got two sheets of 8mm aluminium onto the plasma and cut out some parts for the roller system for the Cats.

Took a vid of it cutting, it is filmed through the Optrel Crystal and although still not perfect it does give an idea how clear the Crystals are.

Not nearly so adventurous as @Hood today, I knocked out half a dozen idler pulleys to replace the pretty crappy washing line idler pulleys on the new target changer system. Bracketry tomorrow:

 

[nickk]

So...here’s the erection complete as far as my metalwork concerned c/w tie bars.
I wish I knew how to make the bars in one piece,compound angles each end,where it fits to the bolted flanges.
