Stuff you have made today

[Memmeddu]

Today I've started working on the little hammer I've picked up yesterday .
Discovered it's not a 300 grams hammer but a 200 grams one found that after cleaning .
Hopefully this evening I should be able proceed with the restoration
No pictures at moment , but this is how was in the beginning

Very smart, those stanley levels are surprisingly tough mines been through hell.

Gave up on stabila. Full set of fatmax and much prefer them

^ I've gone with the red Wickes own brand ones, cheaper and feel much more sturdy than the Stablia stuff.

Haven't seen them.
Ox tools look ok.

Want a 2.4m Stanley at some point

Those Stabila levels lost their rigidity and reputation years ago, much less material in them than used to be. 4 of us on site each with Stabila boat level, only one reading accurately.

Don’t know what you lot are on about, my stabila boat level reads level. I’ve tried it on a levelled milling table. Identical to that fat max.

My grip about the Stanley is the vial is dark. You can’t see the bubble in poor lighting. Also the adjustable angle bubble has gone loose, so doesn’t hold its position.

Both float about in my tool bag with all my other tools.
To be fair the stabila has more dink’s than the fatmax, softer aluminium or something.

Cleaned it up made a new handle ,glued them together
Tomorrow I will paint it after cleaning the epoxy
Little bit heat shrink tubing near the head (exactly where the tape is )
Was thinking to put some heat shrink in the lowest part of the handle covering the wood for about 10cm but I'm not sure
Surely I will ingrave the fake "mass" logo onto the handle as I did with my sledgehammers
I started restoring it thinking to make a baby clone of this sledgehammer in photo

New self made boring bars work a charm. Considering the bored part starts 100mm down from the top of the part and ends 165mm down. Bang on size. Perfect finish. Well happy. Thread milled M36x2 thread also perfect. Think it’s time to quit whilst I am ahead...lol

That looks like an interesting job.

That image messed with my head.

Looked like a burr for a die grinder at first
Then I realised what I was looking at when I saw the second pic

It’s all I have done since the middle of November. Making 3 of them. Not at liberty to say what they are or who they are for. Overly complex designed by somebody who has never assembled anything more advanced than Lego....

Next you will tell me you wear a dress with a side slit, you bloody tease!

That pattern was from roughing out the scallop with a 25mm milling cutter,180mm long. That hole is situated on a taper,hence needing to mill a scallop before being able to get back in with a drill. I drilled the smaller 15mm hole from the other side,320mm away...

Even now knowing my brain still shows it to me inverted. Always enjoy seeing your work

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Nope...just panties and a bra...

Sensible. Long skirts around spinning machines is asking for trouble

I've a scrap flat 4 Subaru engine also destined to become a coffee table. It's been buried in the corner of a shed for 15 years but I will get around to it someday....!

It's the same shed that has the box of round tuits.

Umm what block is it??
Just off the chance it's something interesting.

Made this worn shaft a bit bigger with TIG brazing. Going to machine shop next week to turn back down.

 

[Memmeddu]

Proceeding with the hammer and got stuck
I don't know if paint the head in red or just clear coat both hammer head and handle
Ps notice the logo it's 37mm long used finger nails paint and brush to add colour to it
