Vid of the laser lasering.

nice!

have you got some sort of fume extraction? whenever we see lasers in factories they take the fume extraction pretty seriously... no idea what vaporized slate/stainless fume is like though?

 

[Hood]

Wood, paper and leather give off fumes but don't seem to smell anything from the slate, anodised alu or stainless. If I was using it a lot I would think about fume extraction but for now an open window beside it is fine.
It might be different with higher powered lasers of course but this is just a 10w diode laser.

There is a big home near me that was re-roofed with Chinese slate 10 years ago...slate that bad it needs doing again

Probably all that MSG in it.

Inspired by a photo by an old member here,this is my version this enables one person to comfortably load a 90 kg wobbly steel bar alone.

Have done a couple of boats for the skippers, will need to get more slate as a few more have shown interest.

The three pics on slate I have done so far.

And close ups of the boats.

 

[Richiew]

Have you touched a welder since you started this?

 

[Hood]

Since I got the laser then yes, this week no because I am off ill

 

[roofman]

fantastic detail there

I'd love a slate etched with a laser engraving of my jet boat which was my pride & joy, but at the 20 mph speed limit the delivery would probably arrive after we've moved to another Country. I'll be seriously considering relocation if this govt. insanity persists.

Slate fume poisoning

 

[magnet]

Well I am happy with this one I have done, wonder if the boss will allow it on the living room wall

It is 335mm x 230mm or if you prefer with a dog for scale. Took about 1.5hrs which is not too bad for one of that size.

2 bars stick welded to a scrap square of flat. For cold bending of trailer tie down hooks. Hooks 25x5mm. Quick and easy on fly press.

You should have no problem felling a tree diameter nearly double the length of your guide bar , there are methods you know .
have stripped a bit of bark to go in your survival kit , tis a silver birch isn't it .

Cherry bark works great too. I always save it.

 

[Hitch]

Got a lot on at the moment, so knocked this out today.
Bit off cable tray, air manifoldsand some pipe clips still to go on...
Then 2 similar sections to make next week, to make a large valve manifold.

This type of lantern need a long match to ignite the fuel in the mantle.

Not an issue as they are easy to find.

But I was board.

A lot of scrap and we have a long match.
Old Brass case, bit of gear linkage, old cupboard handle and some slow match.

The tip is dipped into Meths.

Take a closer look, it is not a weld.
