Nice. Need to come have a visit of your workshop some time! Handy to know localish folk with kit who know how to use it!

A nice day to be out cutting MDF, -5° and snowing (rather larger sharp ice crystals actually)

No dust extraction?

The final item.
It's only to chuck the handtowel over, in the bathroom. Currently drape it over the radiator, but there's no airflow over the handtowel on there, & I wash my hands frequently, so they're always sopping within a day or two max.
Those handwheels are from an old Pollard flat belt drill I used to have. I've simply degreased them & coated the whole with beeswax.

Suggestion. If you were to mount it horizontally, it looks like you could get half a dozen bog rolls on there. Would be cool if there was a bearing on one end about 5" from the handle side so you could crank off an issue as required, and when the roll is empty its then a simple matter to slide another one into position like an old time typewriter putting it back into action for the next porcelain event.

You're still in with a chance if you "don't" listen to my words of wisdom. Its just one of those days.It had already crossed my mind to stash spare bog rolls on there, 'til I twigged the towel would wet them.
All my boys are keen tractorists,but the eldest twin is farming mad,we bought him the fancy shed and yard on the right for £65 at the local farmers co-op,then I felt he only wants a basic shed representation,albeit with bigger doorways,so made this from what’s lying around.

A large amount of veggie based foods today as we had another christmas dinner for people who worked on the main day. The veggie pigs in blankets went fast

Ill put this here as i put it int he wrong thread before duh
As tis was after third attempt to do this it will have to do. had a bloody nightmare welding this as i have lost sight in my good eye and Tigging this has been the cause of much stress. If it was for me it would do but its not.
works well though as he wamted the mast to be folding as it was fixed so he asked me to make away it can be folded down.

Past couple evenings has been spent making some holes a bit aluminium -
Now I have the holes where they're needed, I need to re-create them in a bigger bit aluminium, and also channel the two slots into suitable holes for attaching a couple air pipes.

I was looking for some 3M Dual Lock circles of 10mm dia. I had a bit of 25mm wide dual lock so today after I finished a welding job I hauled out a bit of steel and turned a wee punch on the lathe.
Worked much better than I was expecting
