[Barking Mat]

I've been putting this off, as I've had so many other things on, and really worried it was going to be a nightmare and I'd mess it all up.

That table. Bending the 5mm flat bar round the tight curves.

I marked out the edges of the eight mill verticals, so at least I stood a chance of aligning the flat bar correctly, and put some tack welds in to hold it, then oxy acetylene, many clamps...

Really pleased with how the first bit came out, much more to do this afternoon.

 

[Munkul]

Looking good!

 

[Barking Mat]

It would be so nice to say this afternoon was as successful as this morning.

This afternoons internal curve following took a lot of head scratching.

I initially tried by tacking one end to the internal curve, oxy acetylene, clamps, but this didn't work.

So I returned to my initial idea of slitting the back, and many clamps, and tacking it at each stage.

Wasn't as pretty, I'm now thinking of running a smear of body filler into the corners and over the slits.

Once it painted, no-one will know.

Pipes and nut stock have gone off to be made up too.

I see why you can never have enough clamps.

Cute little folder rejects 5mm, fail !

Slowly, slowly.

Another bench, this one to go under the window for a bit of decent light.

Finished (badly) in @8ob Blue, from the Farrow & Ball ‘Industrial Wasteland’ range

What's the process for the serrations?

What's the process for the serrations?

Having a fancy lathe with live tooling

Wizardry Harry….

I knew it.

Cross slide shaper?

 

[Maker]

Polygonal turning?

 

[Hood]

I would presume CNC mill if not on a live tool lathe but I am sure @Johnnybravo will say I am wrong again

 

[mtt.tr]

Your wrong again

Cold chisel a lump hammer then

 

[Hood]

Your wrong again

Ah, I know, you picked it up not long ago I seem to remember

 

[awemawson]

He bought them . . . . .

 

[Red'n'Black]

Some jump leads, decrepit old tractors for the starting of.

Seen a few threads about them on here, the consensus seems to be 'build your own, and go big or go home'.

Clips from 12 Volt Planet.
Ten metres of 50mm² welding cable from our esteemed sponsors.





Will see if they work tomorrow.

 

[Pete.]

Brother in law wanted to turn his 4 wheel podium tower into a 2-wheel one with 2 fixed feet, so I turned a couple of solid feet for him from 70mm ally bar.

 

[Olderisbetter]

Got this small bereau from a mate before his tip run, gave it a rub down and some paint effect followed by some wax.

 

[Milkybars]

Using some random bits.. I made a 'Tapper'
Black derlin at one end Brass the other, the body is stainless of some variety.
Nice weight to it, pleased with the results.

I made up the outer vent plate bits yesterday. Wanted to tig them but too wet out. Im tempted to silver braze as Im not sure how successful I will be tig 0.5mm stainless. Mesh is bent at 45 degrees to reduce air resistance.

Bored out the nuts I had stuck on sheet for welding bench levellers. I will get them stuck next time I have the tig out!
