Re-made some very worn throttle rods on a '56 Vauxhall Velox. Had to make a simple press brake to bend the 7/32 and 1/4" mild steel rods. I replaced some of the ends with ball joints and turned bushes where the receiving part were worn (saves welding and redrilling). Finished in cold black oxide.

If you've got all day and are sitting comfortably then I'll begin........

I didn't realise you were old enough to remember "Listen with Mother".

 

[MattF]

What is wrong with people!

Do you want the full list?

What do you mean ' listen with' I wrote it. Well SHMBO thinks I did and still do.

'Twas a radio programme [before telly], and the presenter used to say [before launching into a story] "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...."

Muffin the mule.

 

[Barking Mat]

How did you do that? Not the work, the changing photos, first time I've seen that.

 

[Cobbler]

Muffin the mule.

Don’t forget Larry the lamb & Toytown.

Edit, …. Just checked, it was Childrens Hour, not listen with mother.

Bloody annoying, isn't it?

No, I like.

Made a sleeve to go between the rod end of the steering ram and the steering rod on the Cat I am currently fitting out.

Couple of spacers for rollers.

Cut a flange and welded it to a hose adapter.

Welded the hinge to the lifting handrail.

Drilled a hole and milled a slot so I could fit the plunger at the other end of the rail.

Turned the face and taper on some 17" hauler plates.

Started on a stainless knife for the hauler. Milled the profile out of a chunk of 30mm thick stainless.

Flipped it over and milled off the extra 5mm

Ready for milling the tapers to both sides but that will be in the future as had enough for the day.

Actually did a few other bits but no pics , would have done more but was inundated with fishermen asking when I will be able to do other jobs for them. PITA you tell them you are busy but they want to stand an yap for an hour after a while I just went and got on and left them yapping and eventually they got the message

 

[MCKDAVID]

have a lot of retired or more senior customers shall we say..... same, two minute discussion, on what they need ok no problem.. then they'll spin a yarn for an hour on what / who / how / is going on in the village... I do try to be polite and sociable but sometimes you have to be a little more direct, otherwise nothing gets done..

Another very very simple puller for the mixers I’ve been working on. Such a easy tool to make that saves tonnes of time. Something the engineers who broke the machines seem unable to understand.

Another GP surgery prescription dispensing box,and an earlier one installed last year.

Opened an amazon rectus21 gas fitting, unsure what Id find. Chucked the end and faced it, made an M10x1 adaptor and silver soldered it on. To go on the Sherman tig.
