And we're done! Last of the bolts I needed arrived. When the eBay seller I bought the wheels off found out what they were for he was a bit upset as these inline skate wheels are classic wheels from 1997; he tried to offer me newer ones but I wanted the natural colour!

Just need to start a deep hollow form now...

It's amazing the cheek of some sellers .. they want you to buy something and use it like they would.
Purchase a property & some land 25 yrs ago , tore out 94 eight yr old mixed trees out of about 200 small sapling trees that the PO had got at the end of a local plant auction in Wisbech for a few quid to make it so I could drive the ride on mower about & have a lawn .
He paid a local to plant them all in the 1/4 acre of lawn grass as they came out the tipped load . They were planted haphazardly must have looked lovely at the time being planted three to five feet apart & two feet or so tall ..
A few weeks after I'd hoyed them out with a 12 ton Ruston Buycrus 360 excavator he drove up to our house and said in a Malmsbury braying screech " You can't do that to my trees " . Told him in simple soldiers language what to do with himself

Crammed shell into a brake light.
A small story was I could not get this size diametre down here, It was, I almost admit gave up on the original idea.
I found one at a gunsmith he would not sell to me.

Nice work. I assume that the wooden panels are T&G fixed to a frame then attached with the bolts

thats some nice work done there, like the design on the low wall pair especially.

Understood how shot flames out of my car exhaust.
It has to be warm like after a normal day driving .
Then hold the throttle at 3k rpms for a second or two and make it idle in a moment.
It will backfire making a nice sound .
I should learn much more useful things

Explanation , since the exhaust pipe is broken prior the muffler, lamda sensor doesn't read correctly and the computer gives more fuel than needed so being the exhaust hot , and spark plugs are shut off while decreasing RPMs (throttle body commands injection and ignition timing) the fuel will burn in the exhaust .
This shouldn't happen in theory , but I think that some of older owners did something to the injection map , and that's probably why the exhaust is broken

Those are some serious casings, well done @northwest

Old project I decided to work on a little again, unsure that I'll complete it, but hope so.

No checked there and Iv none of the back of any . It’s basically just 2 40mm strips across the top and bottom and screwed together to make one piece . Reason for doing it is makes after care a lot easier for the customers they can pop out the panel to repaint and varnish

 

[Barking Mat]

Made a bench grinder stand thé other day, boss said, how long will it take? So painting it wasn't an option, too busy at thé moment.

Then continued with installing 2x24 volt pure sine inverters. Thé 24 volt sides about finished, got to go over thé 240 volt systèm, it's not quite how it should bé.

No guesses?

I've got 2" weights and a 1" curling bar, I've also got no metrology toys here so rather than measure anything properly, I just made a short version to check the fit without wasting too much time or plastic. It's a bit snug on the bar and a bit loose on the plates but it looks like it'll work.
View attachment 260983

Finally finished this; full length sleeves for each end.

I couldn't resist a little test, they didn't break with as much weight as will fit on them.

It is, of course, only a curling bar, it'll probably never see 40kg in normal use but I had to have a play.

I can't do that whit my car.
I have a friend who is a rally association president .
So whenever I would like to drive a rally car or partecipate to an amatorial rally I have only to ask him.
Roads aren't meant to race on them .
There are apposite circuits to do that.
