Taper turned candy floss.
That was tedious, I have another one to do tomorrow whilst the tail stock is offset then do the other features on them both, I was contemplating some free hand turning for one end of them, we will have to see how brave or foolish I am feeling.

I’ll rephrase that - what they will be, erm, used for!
Replica of the one above to replace the missing handles on my Hauser mill.

Doing an oil and filter change on an 1968 E-Type something did not look right, the filter had no sealing faces and was floating about in the casing. Turned up a stainless steel washer and an alloy pressure plate, picked up the rest of the internals from a local specialist. No idea how long it has been running without filtration!

That must have been obvious to the last person that changed the filter, either that or they know nothing as Manuel said!

I think you are correct, the last person to change the filter simply fitted a new one, maybe an unwitting owner. My first thought was the filter being incorrect as there were no sealing faces to create filtration, a look at the parts diagram made me chuckle, how do you loose that lot on a filter change?
The fitting that screws into the block housing was finger tight, the washer I made sits behind this and I cannot see why you would remove it other than cleaning or during a rebuild. The whole car is odd, LHD converted to RHD as if RHD was not an option and solutions found to save moving parts to their correct locations.

Possibly. The stainless plate I made is secured to the block housing by the centre nut which the canister bolt screws into and there's no way of losing it on an oil change so must have been taken apart at some stage. Honestly, I feel like a Detective most days working on these cars trying to solve the mysteries of missing and converted parts!

I have done it.
Yes I have.
I have............................
UPCYCLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I have.
Forgive me Forum. I may have sinned.
No, wait.
I have sinned.
But, I am sure I may be forgiven.
This is a prove of concept to see if it can be done. In such away it can be undone.
Can it be done by members of MIS?
Is it cheep enough to make it worth while?
What have I done?
This Monitor Kerosene is dead.
for the following reasons.
No ready supply of filetred kerosene.
The price of spares to fix and adapt to paraffin make it uneconomical.
So, a odd bit off 3 core cable, earthed bulb holder, bit of time and thinking.
I had the cable routed in such away the up-cycling can be undone and the item returned to service.
If I could get some golden coloured flex I will do it in the future.
But as a "Try Out", this will do.
Wired up. Lamp holder glued into place.
This temp the "5 Minute glue" wasn't.
Then I gave it a PAT.
Done, dusted and working.
Plus "Gone away" already.
Replaced with something better.
It is now .
That is one of 2.

Start of something I've been intending to make for a couple of years; a centre steady for woodturning so I can turn deeper hollow forms.
Six 225mm lengths of 50 x 25 steel box MIG'd together to make a 390mm AF hexagon; I'm chuffed to bits with how flat it has come out, barely a wobble.
Rollerblade wheels arrived this morning, must order bearings!

Returning to some of last summers work,as the customer asked for some strips to be added to the bridge,for a wheel chair,the arch spikes into the ground,20/10 square,the bridge awaits some landscaping extras,for a normal 5 mile trip,it nearly doubled as so many roads were icebound,and as it was a 700’ climb there were many steep pitches to negotiate.
Didn’t mean them to upload and display like that?after taking 2 years to learn how to upload pics ,the forum has changed,here’s to another 2 years of frustration!

I seen people using Tufnol for handles as it looks like wood when done.
