Will enjoy.

i know you said "for fun",but copper sulphate is much easier/cheaper to buy than the sulphuric acid to *make* copper sulphate.

or do you just tap it off old lead/acid batteries?

I can buy powdered Copper Sulphate from E-Bay. I have 1kg here already.

But this is for fun, the crac and something to do.
Again.

I am board.
I entertain myself.

blood doesn't bother me.
as long as its someone else's

When someone needs help blood it's not a big issue because it isn't mine
But when hurt myself and blood comes out doesn't matter if is a little scratch or something serious the effect is the exact same
Tunnel sight, feeling hot, breathing difficulty then faithing
it's not even because of the pain
because with kidney stones I discovered pain thresholds never experienced before
all other pains are bearable

Been a first aider for over 40 yrs. Allways, allways, when someone comes to me with the slightest cut I sit them down, before they fall down. It happens when they see it seeping out of them..

its genuinely something that's never affected me in the slightest: probably from familiarity.

My kids have worked out that if it's serious, I go quiet and calm rather than leaping about like a loon and, er, exercising my vocabulary...

I don't normally notice until I see blood on the Workpiece.
Never bothered me. Patch up if required and crack on.
Vomit and crap bother me more.

 

[Memmeddu]

Ouch! You made one??

I can't really completely understand your question but ,my finger still attached where it needs to be , little bit o tape to hide the thing because I won't see it but seems to be ok

Made a Burke bar

 

[4String.]

Finally got round to making OH a chopping board from this splendid slice of beech that's been languishing in the mancave since last month:



Sawn in 2 and attacked with the belt sander:



Lots of elbow grease later, in its new home, subject to being treated with food grade oil:



And the next project will be a clock in the kitchen using this slice of oak for a mount:

Is that for a lathe cross slide or some sort of vice?

Made a Burke bar

Actually repaired one
I made a thread last year though
Essentially I've refurbished a Burke/pry bar found in the thrash
It was very rusty , with the flat edge broken (missing a chunk) , and it's been also shortened at some point .
So I've cleaned it up prior to rebuild the missing edge using E7018 and copper backing to support the new metal until I've built up enough to support the welding beads
Then I've welded a point chiesel (CrV steel) to the "handle" to extend the length of the tool so more lever force , and also to have an alignment tool .
I had to bevel both parts ,then first beads using 312L (might be not the way I did I can't remember right now)
Fill and cap using 7018 ,I think to remember that I've used about 20 rods to make this joint between chiesel and pry bar
Than I've ground flush the parts and sharpened the flat edge
Painted it in Blue ,and I'm thinking to remove all the paint and use some cold blue
