Took out some shares in Walther..might be enough sockets to leave everything plugged in so no need to mess around swapping cables.
From left to right...
32a for the phase converter.
16a for an extractor fan.
16a is currently spare but it was wired through a switch for the compressor that lived near by.
Big switch has been moved and will still supply the compressor which is hidden under a bench out of the way now.
32a for the TIG.
32a for the MIG/TIG/Stick.
32a for the Plasma Cutter.
Shelves added to the welding cart and a couple of bits now in situ. It still needs some hooks to tidy the cables away, and a twin gas cylinder bracket on the back.

next diy project. electrolysis....
bit of a practice run with the sub frames off of a scrap car. they're very corroded, and are going in the bin most likely, but make ideal large scale test subjects for the new 'rig'
kit needed:
1 ibc cut at the 150l mark
1 inverter dc tig/mma/plasma cutter.
4x bits of scaffold pole as the sacrificial anode
some wood
a bag of soda crystals.
some wire.
and you end up with
and a quick walkaround
the next version i'll make a wooden support all the way round the outside to stop it flexing, and so i can take the cross member off the top without draining the tank.
its bubbling away nicely at 20amps. might turn it down a bit more, there's a balance between effective and just wasting electricity heating the water...
also please ignore the bodge that is the earth wire going in the side of the welder, I've misplaced the earth wire and the dinse connector on my other tig is too big.

...
I bet it let out a bang that happened, what was wrong, did the tool dig in or was it just thinned out too much?

I like it @qwakers, I am going to try that. I have an old IBC still in the frame, think I will leave it in there and just cut the top, could always cable tie the liner to the framework and use the top to hang gear off.

fit a good hose on the end and you can fill up 25 litre containers rather well from there taps
wash out the last junk in another 25 litre container and its clean put the rest back in container when needed
better if it was a little higher up as well so could poor into it
best way make a steel frame sit it on it then make a walk way at side of it or front of it when clean out time open tap fill your containers

Woke up early 5 o clock in the morning today.
Went to a customer holidays house in Solanas (Google it as Solanas Sardinia)at 7 o clock.
Made the point of the situation and back home at 12 o clock .
Had lunch with my uncles (hate them
) very tiring ....
Had slept in the afternoon .
Watched the first minute of the F1 changed channel prior to destroy the TV ....
And ejected a 5mm kidney stone with included piece of meat
Had dinner

yeah a ibc frame is ideal to stop floppyness
If any folks on here want a framed IBC pretty sure I can get hold of a few.

Not so much made, more made to run again . My parents just bought this 1948 Fergy so I went through it and then finally got it run. I stripped tank and rocker cover to lube it all to avoid the old dry start. Then drained tank. Cleaned carb and lines etc. Found an issue with the stopcock so hopefully we can fix it properly tomorrow and then I’m going to hopefully be converting to 12v.
Starter motor has some internal damage somehow when I stripped and cleaned the contacts so it just makes sense rather than buy a 6v starter and battery. May as well just get the 12v of each and a new dynamo.
Managed to jump start it and once it started and I worked out it’s issues I was able to start on the handle. Hard work though

I'd go with the conversion to 12V and from dianamo to alternator

Today I made a couple of straight things circular.
I was just trying out my new acquisition from @Sammy7 that I fianally picked up last week.
I should have taken a photo of it before taking it apart for transport but I think I have it together the right way. (it works well anyway)
Maga pleased with it and still think (know) I robbed him.
It need a few bits sorted like the latch to lock the handle for the removable roller.
I was thinking of brazing a piece of steel in, or would it be better to get a bit of cast iron?
I assume there should be a spring loaded pin.
