I think that’s Americans who barely use their showroom tools. Ours have been stored on the floor, outside, caked in mud and rain and still work. I don’t think a bit of dust going through them will harm them. Most good air tools have a gauze or sintered filter in them after the quick connect.

Indeed, one of the reasons most mining drills are air powered

Specs were , fit a 50 ton excavator and have a SWL 5 ton ...I think I achieved that SWL with a bit extra haha

Got a few coats of satin black onto my fire guard. It’s a lot more solid than the old Argos flat pack one it’s replacing.

As you say getting the writing in the correct orientation after it's all folded is sometimes a challenge.

That and the dimensions.

It takes a bit of time and effort getting them right, easier to buy one already done

Made myself a little poorer by ordering flowers delivered for V-day

Wife told me she didn't want supermarket flowers this year... I was astounded... I said "I always take the price tag off and didn't know you could tell the difference!"

Made up a an anchor point to install in the concrete slab of the garage. Handy for a bit of extra security if I feel it's necessary to chain anything up; will fold flush against the floor.

No. Motorcycle most likely.

During a break from work this afternoon, I had a play with new software for the laser engraver. Just a bit decoration for the womancave.

 

[MattF]

Any details/photo's on/of the engraver?

 

[Arc Tourist]

Humour, my good man, humour...

Yes, and I could read between the lines.

The challenge is making a YouTube or company name that is both a palindrome and has symmetrical letters.

Nothing exciting for most but with @Pete. help. I can now create both Metric and Imperial threads the thread dial gear worked perfectly and once I had ironed out the flex drive issue it all worked. Pete also put me on to a 45T gear so I nearly have the full set (only missing the 25T now). I am a happy chap!

Couple of these barrels rolled up and welded today, fancy laser welded jacket on the outside of the sheet too.
Virtually 8 metre long sheets, so just one seam.

Are those rollers on the thingy holding it in the air?

Are those rollers on the thingy holding it in the air?

Yeah, just 2 bits of loose fitting tube.
As the sheet goes up and over it just rolls through that.

Tip from a company that folded some 3 mtr self reinforced plastisol shelving for me from my technical drawings . " We draw the finished item end on , then prioritise the bends , give the right sequence of priority numbers on the folding schedule sheet , then fold a scrap strip & see if it turns out like you want . 96 shelves later no waste after doing the setting up & schedule .

Will you be using the engraver to put designs on leather work such as belts ?

How many thousand of the labels do you still have? " Bespoke part " made in " England " on three lines to me would to me convey a better image of a proper engineer making specials for me ........ might allow a higher price too .
