Exactly the same colour and model

But mine has some tuning on the engine

Made a tree so people could park by it and actually be able to use the pavement to walk on.

"The maximum penalty for carrying out unauthorised works to trees with a TPO is £20,000. In serious cases, a person may be tried at the Crown Court and, if convicted, is liable to an unlimited fine".

 

[Pete.]

Seems like a sensible adjustment to me. More of a hazard the way it was.

 

[James1979]

Is it TPOd?

wouldn’t think so

 

[m_c]

Even if it is TPO'd, if you can justify that it's causing a danger, you can cut it without permission.

Installed successfully the stereo on my car
Had to modify the original wiring harness
But it does work
It's enough for me also because exhaust will cover its sound even if at high volume

There is no TPO on this one, I keep reporting to the council about the lack of upkeep and the roots lifting the pavement, they have sent a few tree huggers out and they have said they don't have the resources and I could always adopt it and sort it myself...great! At least my council tax money is being put to good use
The tree is far too big to be near houses, god knows where the roots go to?

A threaded adaptor, and a blurry pic, I dont yet have a roundtuit die holder for m10x1 dies. Er40 collet can hold it but I didnt have the correct spanner for chuck.

The original handle turns out to be M8, not m10x1 Much effort could have been saved.. not that I have any immediate need for it.

So because it is xing warm over here I decided to get cool down with a torch.
Not perfect but it works
Now I just need matching colors for my wife’s van.
Plan is to travel around and made some “smart repair” ;-).
Nasty stuff.

You're gonna make someone a wonderful housewife sometime!

That does look delicious...

Threaded adaptor done, stable enough just needs a weight on the base.

I made a stainless washer and welded it to an M25 hex setscrew.

I then milled a flat on the screw.

Milled a round end and a hex hole in some 50mm wide x 12mm thick HDPE

Bored and tapped an M6 hole into the screw and then made another washer and fitted the plastic to the screw.

Then turned a body from some 60mm acetal, made another washer and then plasma cut an arm from 8mm 5083 aluminium and fitted it all together.

Cut some bits of 20mm thick Acetal to the angle required then milled a square hole in for the boats steering rod to pass through.

Put some 5mm plastic onto the Chiron ready to mill out some spacers to keep the bronze controls on the boat away from the aluminium.

Went away to repair some stainless bits from the local McDonalds and heard a clunk and the spindle stop on the Chiron, the control had died so this is as far as I got.

The kitchen is my outlet while I've got no workshop, hopefully when I'm a housewife I can keep both up.
