Not today but over the last few days - and still a bit more to do. Been making a mess...
New seatbox for the Defender, been meaning to make a custom one that was horizontal for the Range Rover seats I have in it, when I was faffing around with the PTO pump noticed there was a crack - further inspection revealed it wasn't in the best of shapes so prompted me to actually get off my backside and make one.
Finally got the Edwards Box & Pan Folder I bought off @MattH over from my parents and was a joy to have, made bending up the floor plates nice and simple. Dad conveniently forgot his initial words were "I have no use for it" a few weeks ago as he's found it quite handy for making brackets... Still it's mine now and in my still being built workshop.

It has been mentioned he should get down to his kart racing days weight but that will not happen!

Is that a machine speed issue or a torch issue or a bit of both? These people are plugging their consumables for more delicate work so that might be an avenue to investigate.

Look pretty good to me, but I suppose if you're selling them the punters [some of whom might not any difference?] will expect smooth lines.

Ive not tried them yet but you can get fine cut consumables for the torch on mine thats meant to let you do some pretty detailed stuff, on the whole im happy enough with what the standard setup is doing so far.

I’m running the fine cut
You could probably get finer detail on thinner metal but you wouldn’t have the strength to bang them in

The new jaws arrived from Zoro today for the Tudor chuck and even though they were the same number and maker as my previous ones I didn't have to modify them as they were 2mm narrower

My aldi band saw gets the credit for the mitres.
