Happy Birthday mate!

First sourdough, not bad, tastes lovely. Just need to tighten the shape a little more before final prove and baking next time.

I’ll be in Wantage next Friday, you can leave mine at Broadway Motors for me!

Seriously though, that is good looking bread.

I made some bits for the skylift. Instead of two part fittings (gold colour) I made single piece ones, also made a bobbin.

Threaded in some M8 stainless screwed rod and made a T nut for the other end.

It is to go through the rear axle of the Africa Twin.

It means I can leave the strap in a loop and just slip over the two bobbins instead of round the swing arm as per pic below.

That's making me feel hungry

Blimey are they still going

You must have funny feet, didn’t think Sevenoaks was an area of inbreeding

It's a small hamlet in the bottom of a valley on the outskirts where I live. We get snowed in on occasion and the road floods. The first is probably the cause of our webbed feet but it helps with the second...

 

[Mick Annick]

Blimey are they still going

Well, they were when I moved a couple of years ago, and I don’t suppose the whole Smith family have popped their clogs - Mr Smith told me years ago they kept going as they needed somewhere for the non-farmers in the family to go every day.

Such a fantastic evening that couldn't see a reason not to eat outside and make teriyaki chicken kebabs! Even having a few beers on a school (quite literally in my case!) night...

What's the BBQ, something you've bought or a homemade affair? I like the look of the stainless tray on the one side.

Stark Fire Pits

Stark Fire Pits is a durable, practical and stylish flat-pack fire pit that is made to last a lifetime. Comprised of five pieces of carbon steel, our fire pits are compactable which means you can dismantle and transport or tidy away in a matter of minutes.

Yup, most will gasp at the price and (especially on this forum) say they could have made for a fraction.

Saw one at some friends several weeks ago and was impressed; 4mm rather than 3mm and incredibly well cut - fibre laser? The stainless grill that sits across is 6mm and has proven very useful.

Oh, and I've used and cooked over ours four times since it arrived a month or so ago - don't think our friends have used theirs yet!

Starting feeling old

You're only as old as the woman you're feeling

Going to have to remove my socks to work this one out...

Don't forget to drop your pants so you can 'carry one'

 

[bricol]

Send it to me and I will put some miles on it

Its got a lot more on than most Caterhams of similar vintage - just under 50,000.

With working from home for 18mths, nowhere to go, and my Lancia integrale only being 24 quid a month to tax, I haven't bothered taxing it.

I would take this words as an encouragement .
Today is another day

 

[Dieselman 63]

Lockdown here again, that means time to drag things I never finished out of the garage! Both swivel plates cleaned and repainted, regreased and with new balls.

 

[Dev]

There’s a joke there somewhere, i just can’t seem to find it (typical bloke)

Been wanting to knock one of these up for a while, seat base has been in the fabshop for ages, well today finally decided it was time, have a few TIG jobs that would be far easier sat down. Seat swivels, and it folds out of the way..

Lawn tractor seat, some 30 x 30 tube, 20mm dia tube welded into the end of the frame, big bolt for swivel on seat base, 10mm plate and 50 x 50 angle for hinges.. Bolted on, as it might get relocated to a smaller dedicated table later.. Works well, height is spot on for table, might need to make up a box for the pedal to sit on, just a wee bit too low to be comfortable... Will try it first to see how it goes, that can be done later. Might even paint it, next time have some left over in the spray gun...
.Just need to get some 20 x 2 flat strip (removable) to seal the spaces between the plates on the bench to avoid spatter dropping through onto my lap... .
