Stuff you have made today

[Blobber]

Today I made SWMBO semi happy by laying 30 tons of new surface dressing on the school. It only lasted about five minutes and I was then led onto my next task, can't wait to get back to work

Yup, and that would be sporting a big boy.

Today I put the angle table and vice into the vice on the Chiron then clamped up a bit of 52mm x 20mm aluminium.
I then milled a bit off it.

Flipped over and milled the other side which gave me a 74 degree angle.

Then I put a 10mm slot down it then put a 60 degree engraving cutter down the edge to give me this.

I then cut some 3mm stainless on the plasma and tested out the aluminium in the press to see if it would fold along the edges without distorting at the holes. It worked but it was really too much for the press with the narrow gap in the tooling. I was really meaning to use it with aluminium but had a bit stainless on the plasma so just used that.
Anyway looks like the tooling will work fine.

View attachment 324661dont you get tapers and flex with all that overhang?

 

[selectedgrub]

Still have the base to make.

@nickk
No, not an issue, just took light cuts, 4mm DOC at first then dropped down to 2mm near the end.

Ignore the gravity induced sag, they will be tig'd at 30 degrees up. Starts raining just when Im wanting to get the tig out, every time!
I will anodise the new bit, but to keep as two parts - thinking blue for the new bit, or strip the old, weld and anodise as one part, cherry red..?

For pitties sake don't damage it by trying too hard. Just walk quietly away and look busy.

After my trial the other week I attempted the actual Yule log. Not exactly how I pictured it in my head, but I'm sure it will taste okay.

Yum yum

A quick one off the list, flag and key holder.

The keys dont like the thin sheet so I will turn some tubes to tig underneath, stop them falling through.

I've been the same for the last month or so.

Hi @Kram forgive my dumb but what are the plastic things? (Flags?)
Thanks.

 

[Kram]

Flag torx keys, stops you putting too much torque in a little insert screw.

The green one is T15 on one end and 4mm hex the other, great idea, but they dont make a set or any other useful combinations.

 

[selectedgrub]

Thanks, I've never seen that type only T handled ones.
