Knowing you, it didn't hit the ground.

A ethernet network, crawling under floors isn't fun. Made a nice job of it cat6 solid core cable cat6 sockets so wont have to do that horrible job again any time soon.

Followed by the client denying that any work has been done in the building and it must be the way you installed the cable 6mths ago, funny how a bit of Columbo style chat with the people on site usually confirms what had happened.
We recently had a USB installed in plastic dado that has taken since last summer to trap itself in the lid, causing the camera / microphone / speakers to mysteriously not work having worked for six months previously. Even pointing out to a manager that the break was next to the sharpie writing in the trunking saying power here, just above the outlet in the compartment below did not spark any memories of recent electrical works.

Works both ways! Carry out testing in any office and look in electrical mini trunking to find all sorts of data, phone and something fire alarm cabling squashed in with the singles wiring!
Fail!

Quite pleased with this, a friend asked me if I would knurl a couple of handles for him and although I say so myself, the knurling came out perfect. Lovely and even and just right. Air fitting for scale, this is a good six inch run:

More shinny stainless gear for the bathroom. I had to dig out the dremel to polish this one.

I sanded back these plugs

Some tapered beams to form part of an outdoor seating area for the steel frame restaurant I’m fabricating.
The architect labelled it as a”Brie solleil “ sun shade to you and I.

Is there a place for the 'meecro waar ve'?

 

[selectedgrub]

I needed a small section of spiraled pipe.

It was a hassle to take this pic

 

[h-dom]

A new base for my grinder
3 10mm plates 300x300, some bearings for the tracking/tension arm and a gas strut. And some quality welding

And a new drive wheel to convert to direct drive, thanks to @Dcal for sending me a huge lump of HDPE turned on the lathe with a big rasp

I might clean up now I've seen the photos

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Today I replaced this [its twin brother was already dead, having been glued back together several times] useless, cracked safety shield for the grinder



with these - £10 + post for the pair ex eBay, less than I would have paid for 'genuine' ones. These are 'proper' guards

Do you have a link Slim?

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Sorry, these were from a private Seller, not a company.

EDIT: Looks like you can buy them direct from the manufacturers, just for a lot more than I paid...

Finished welding up the frame for my pseudo 'tool wall' and made a bracket to mount it on the back of the old bureau; took some sash cramps and harsh language to get it screwed on the rear if it single-handedly.

Annoyingly the spanners have become magnetised and rather than hang perfectly vertically on their screws they swing towards each other and congregate - only bugs me because I spent so much time spacing them out!

 

[h-dom]

Don't know how good it is but Lidl had a demagnetiser/magnetiser in this week, probably less than a fiver.

Finished the taper pin. Left the top plain, for the time being.



That parting tool works fine. Tested it on parting that piece from the remaining rod. No dramas whatsoever.
