In my mad, manic and calm tidy up, this was uncovered.



So I acquired this bundle.



So, put it together and what do you get?

@mrsbruce almost suitable for you.



The shaft was old, but been in a workshop for a while.
Hand scarper had most of the dirt off. A polish on the lathe.

The head was wire brushed and polished.



Yes, I have saved another hammer.

Found a 10mm bit of steel plate and made a few holes to make a strengthener for the swager, I rarely use use it to do wider panels and the idea is to put an adjustable stop bar on the steel plate as a guide system.

Will you be reusing?

 

[Barking Mat]

@Tupers , oh dear, is that broken engine block I see, bottom middle?

 

[Barking Mat]

Maybe a crank bearing bracket, I hope.

Had a bit more practice on the milling machine today. I’m determined to get this poker looking a bit better, so set it up using an ER32 collet in a square collet holder, and an angled precision plate in the vice.

I’m starting to get the hang of this stuff, just give me another 10 years practice.

Soaking them thidn't give the required effect, then?

Oh. two uses of the poker.

1. Stab Norbert. Thank you.

2. Stab the brittle ones, then sweep up the dust.

Jesting aside. That's good work.

It still good ,it will work

I think they should be ok with a little JB Weld.

@Tupers , oh dear, is that broken engine block I see, bottom middle?

It’s the big end of the no.5 connecting rod. The piston was so stuck that I flared the end of the rod out by beating on it.

Fortunately all the pieces I need are intact.

Note the use of undersize pallet to give a misapprehension of size...

Lovely little thing, though

Today made a neoprene stock protector for the lady of the manor's shotgun.

Couldn't find anything she liked as was all either bland or camo which she didnt want.

So fired up the sewing machine and a £3.99 ebay special neoprene pencil case. And about 30mins later have got this.

Happy with the results. And should the stocks from knocks and scrapes as well as a little cheek protection.

Did the bores not get badly scored getting those pistons out? Or is this going to be converted into a coffee table!
