Bouncer, "You're not coming in here with those hooves on mate"
It lifts out if required
You've done it wrong then!
You need it secured in with numerous fasteners, ideally with one or two hidden out of sight, and a few that you can see but can't access which make you wonder how they fitted it in the first place :-)
PS. I may be a bitter about these things, having spent far too much time doing simple things like changing oil, which could have been a 5 minute job, except the bodybuilders decided to do things like fully enclose the drain plug, then position the oil filler in towards the chassis, so it takes two of you to unbolt the housing to drag it out to put oil back in.

I would just like to thank everybody who 'liked' and left a comment about the planters. Thank you all. The response was unexpected and very much appreciated.

It's good so far mate, I have only done a couple of jobs with it but it knocks spots off the Blaser Swisslube.
Okay, with the Blaser you could clearly see what was going on and great for video's, but it took that much blue paint off I started looking like a Smurf! And sticky as hell, found myself going up to the house to rinse my hands. This just wipes off with a rag and so far no staining at all.

The other day I got a large 1941 Brass Paraffin Brazing torch.
I got it fully working, but the NRV valve was giving me a lot of trouble.
Again Top marks to Mike and Amanda at Base Camp for more Great and perfect service.
They supplied the parts to get it working correctly. Turns out modern parts do not beat old parts.
Plus they supplied 2 new springs.
One stroke will provide 1lb of tank pressure.
The scary end, complete with the jet on fire.
The really scary end.

So, today (and yesterday) I was making little chess pieces, okay, maybe they are not chess pieces but they could be. Actually it is a product I make and not one but two biggish orders came in in one week so two days in front of the lathe. I enjoy it actually but my body protests.

This one has been a long term project.
The plan was to hunt Car boots and places like that to find the missing burner.
This one was a real puzzle. The original burner head was replaced, by adding a Male insert. But both of them were lost.
You can see the Male insert on top of the tank.
But RHS you can see a Primos adaptor to take a Burnmos Burner. A rare, but not unknown modification.
You can see attempt/part No2 to get a burner.
Wow.
One fast hot jet. Few seconds after catching it was roaring away.
I need to say to a good person: Any more power cuts?

Finaly.
4 days late. not bad for the Post office Next day delivery.
New needle, cleaning jet and graphite seal.
Spot what is wrong with the old needle.
Back together. This is the stove in which the cleaning needle and jet turned into a paste like material.

A custom wiring loom to take the input from this old accelerator pedeal into a generic connector then take it to the right ECU ports. All with the help of the pin diagram which i am just managing to wrap my head around now after actually using it for something it all starts to make a bit of sense.
Slow at first but do pick the pace up as you understand how to follow it.
Slowly but surely getting closer to running the engine on the bench

They look like buffer parts, a bit like Daniel was suggesting using on the new schmeisser straight pull.

Beat me too it BradI too am curious
I surrender. They are components that make up the silent buffers for straight pull AR15 style rifles. I deliberately left out the other parts so nobody would twig what they were: Someone on here already worked it out and identified one retailer I supply, another worked it out and PM'd me to buy direct and by not saying what they are has generated interest, more than if I had really tried to do it.
The snag with straight pull rifles is that when you cock them it sounds like a spoon going over a cheese grater, by removing the large coil spring and replacing it with an integral unit it transforms them. Makes the cocking action a single smooth operation.

SWMBO wasn't keen on the larger self-coloured inifinty cube I made so I produced a small one (75mm square from 10mm bar) and sprayed it silver. It's been permitted to take residence in the lounge.

My brother's nearing completion of the restoration of a 1930's Bolton & Paul rotating summer house. It was a ground up rebuild including the rotating mechanism and all the woodwork - keeping original wood wherever possible and reverse engineering profiles to get remanufactured where beyond saving...
One item that was missing was the Bolton & Paul makers plate which locates above the doors, all he could find was a photo off the web...
Some CAD time later and about 40mins of 3D printing....
That gave my brother enough to work is model making skills on...
All being well the summer house should be complete just in time for winter!

I think I have a metal Boulton and Paul sign here, I used to have a B&P stationary engine but sold it after an attack of the Bills. No promises, but I will keep an eye open for it. Nice work.
