Stuff you have made today

[Kram]

Perlite which I'll add sodium sillicate binder, when Im ready to make it permanent. It is very much like a sillica version of polystyrene.

 

[Anguz]

Perlite, same as the garden version?

 

[Sergei Slovenija]

A small improvement based on past experience. Added stainless chain handle to the skewer. While my colleague occupied the entire workbench, I quickly made a prototype

Yes same stuff, not too nice to work with as its very dusty, but it makes excellent insulation

Very nice, rather aesthetically pleasing.

Also we know you though about pretending it was a sword for a minute and duelling

The chain dissipates heat more efficiently (heat labyrinth) if the coals are close to the handle. And easy to clean with such a thickness.

A real sword has little in common with this toothpick.

You'd like a 3D printer.

 

[roblane65]

Well actually ! guess what the list of what I'd like is endless .

Mixed the bottom insulation and thinking how to make the control box. Might start the element form again or do differently.

Got a breadmaker for Xmas. Wasn't sure I would like it as I have always enjoyed "hands on" breadmaking. But I can't see not having one now, fresh bread whenever you want with minimum fuss. Haven't bought a shop loaf yet and probably won't for a long time. If you like chilli, jalapeño and cheese is delicious

Today I destructively erased another million Data CDs with the domestic Microwave - this batch dating back to 2003! I also removed the hard drives from a batch of 8 desk top Compac PCs and squashed them in the 60 ton press (read those if you can!) - the PCs are going to a charity in Zanzibar.
. . . the clear out continues !

I started a 3D print of 'gear clock' on yeggi. First dial, warped. Second dial, some of the teeth were missing. Third dial, in orange, had black staining of the last layer. Fourth dial, created a large bogey

Holes.

These are for the youngest daughters ensuite that I'm building. There's a 200mm overlap with the plant room roof and her bedroom in that corner. The plant room has all services required it's a neat solution, but the wall is really thick, 750mm thick. It's double skinned millstone grit with a rubble fill. Fortunately I hit a through stone for the top 3 holes. I hate it when rubble falls behind the bit and you can't get the damn thing out to remove the core.

If your wondering why five holes, it's hot, cold, soil, waste water and the last one is condense output from the heat recovery ventilation system in the loft.

I got lucky and managed not to cross any of the holes, there's not much room for error. They've now all got plastic sleeves in them. Just got to chase out for the shaving socket (no, my daughter doesn't shave ) and the heated towel rail, then I can get the new partitions skimmed.
