Stuff you have made today

[Brad93]

Super useful tool. I’d like one but most of the ones available seem to be chinese

 

[Beeezer]

Made this jig so I could plane down this end grain cutting board I am making.

Worked pretty well despite the small router bit I was using (19mm or 3/4"), need to get a proper bit for planing. And I'd have less work sanding that pattern out.

Nice little planer thicknesser.

@James1979 @Brad93 Yep Chinese the yellow one the 4000 (the big one). Today I find out that someone here in Au is supposed to be making them , and that after several weeks of looking, so sad too bad!

 

[slim_boy_fat]

was subsequently told they have about 1000. May even get my money back on this job

Wouldn't it have been cheaper for them just to re-order the right things?

Yesterday I turned this nice neat stacked pile

Via this




And a heck lot of this

An adjustable stop for the saw. It was missing by the time I bought the saw... Finally got sick of measuring for cleats etc!

Enlarged my GF3 mini gun 1.2mm nozzle to 1.55mm. They dont make bigger nozzles, you'd normally have to use thinners or buy a full size gun. I'll be attempting this gun for primer, it seems 1.8mm is recommended but I'll test before going bigger. The OD is 2.6mm. Might not work but I dont see why it cant.

Lathe headstock stripped paint off. Suprised they face milled the casting to be square, tho its rough. Doesnt look too bad under the thick green paint.

I had one beer font in the brewery tap.

I built this to replace it

I'm just wiring up the light to the downlighter/shelf above it.

Although all the taps are from ex- Worthington cream flow pumps, there are three different version, the two on the left are similar, the two in the right are both different, but I don't think I will notice or care after a few I may change the handles at some point, if I can be bothered,

The pump on the left is now serving a Citra IPA. I take the cream flow nozzle off and use a standard beer sparkler, works fine. The other three taps will come on stream soon. There are magnets in the wood behind the taps to hold the pump clips.

I've just brewed a standard bitter, I used the hop rocket for the first time. You stuff it full of hops and pump hot wort through it then cool the wort through a plate heat exchanger on its way to the fermenter. The idea is that it take all the aromatic oils out of the hops which are normally boiled off giving a bit more bitterness but a lot more aroma. We shall see

Cheers

Absolutely. That looks great @Hood

 

[Onoff]

Shortbread:

I didn't bother modelling it in CAD first...

 

[Hood]

Absolutely. That looks great @Hood

Apart from one hole being squint, won't matter once completed though

 

[Kram]

Looks good. Whats it for?

DCM stripped headstock

 

[Fraserb]

Something different on the plasma.

Looks good. Whats it for?

It is for the latest Cat
Same as this one I did about 4 years ago but will fold at both sides of the stanchion so they can choose which bit to open for passing the catch across from the boat moored outside. Which one they will use will depend on how the boats are moored.


Closed

Folded open.

Not hydraulic steering?

Here you go, fitted today by the skipper.
