No rules just lots of noise and spinning things. I guess you could bet on what side they’re going to come out of though.Right now show us a vid of it working you know the rules

I used up all the off cuts and recycled bits of cladding to finish off the side of my cabin, it looks a lot better and now the side space can become a small store for garden tools and bits.

I don't care how many time you check it is empty and the valve is open, you always get that state of "heightened self awareness" or Pucker factor when you set the saw off:
She is a good ole Donkey that saw is. If you took her apart and rebuilt her there is an above average chance she won't work right again!
Stands up straight now
Valve gone and start to make some targets now, I have saved some "holes"

Was that a cladded tank originally?

I don't think so. It was a solvent liquor seperator tank, and we have never had those clad before. Just a 10/11 gauge sheetmetal tank put together before design codes were heard of.
It was sitting for years outside before we bought it from my workplace for scrap value, and it sat for another few years at ours. Someone had nicely removed the lid and de-asbestos'ed it, but left the rustiest backing ring you ever did see. I just chopped it off altogether.
Not as fun as winning an auction of scba gear for cheap and finding out the 3 tanks were half full (80-100 bar) and last inspected 10+ years ago when you go to strap them in the car

I have a twinset in the shed, last used by me over twenty years ago and they are full! Yours for the taking :-)
Make a fortune on ebay, pre covid air, as rare as pre atomic steel!
Or just strap the valve end down with some rope and shoot it with the largest calibre you have right now, I'd pay to see that

Started some intergrip copies.
Clamped a bit of flat to some 25mm box and ran a 1mm slitting disc along it.
Marked out 1" lengths and a centre line.
Centre popped.
Drilled with a 1/4" bit:
Cut to size:
Got 11 like this:
Got bored, more later...

I didn't make much today...but I did "make" my boring head and attachments fit inside a shiny new box with foam.
The old box was absolutely toast, and unfortunately wasn't worth trying to save.
Wish I'd got the next size up of box, but they are expensive!

Whizzes a few handles up for the fobco, imperial into the boss but only had metric ball ends, with no metric change gears for the lathe. Welded on some M10 shaft and cleaned up on the lathe.
Much better than before, certainly still function over form.

I would fill the expanded threads with epoxy, but...

An emergency C-spanner to fit a steam filter at work.
They didn’t have anything to fit it to stop it leaking.
Neither did we.
But we did have some plate, a new waterjet to play with and the ability to measure and draw something up.
3hours later they had a solution
