From the Dog Rough School of Woodwork & General Bodgery. A seed tray from free pallet and strip wood (used to separate big timbers up the timber yard). PU glue and stainless panel pins that seem a bit of an extravagance...
I'll trim the over length slats, multitool the excess glue off and give a coat of something. Maybe add some handles...

Yesterday at the Shed we had a member who was having issues with a Bosch router, the issue?
Changing the bits.
He was finding it hard to hold the locking pin and a spanner and pull the bit out.
This bit of scrap was located, right diameter, kinked enough to easily fit the hole.
Old wooden handle.
A rough finish to a,llow easy control.
Now we have a 83 year old who has made something for the first time in his life.

I thought the idea was to insert the pin, then rotate the shaft till the pin locks it self against the 2 raised things so there’s no need to hold it?

One of my dreams is owning a toolbox with a bunch of drawers organised like yours obviously filled with machining bits , like taps, dies,twist drills,morse taper drills ,tool holders few the lathe,for a milling machine, end mills etc
It will arrive that day sooner or later

It is, but he has issues with his hands.
That is a reason the finish on the handle is rough.

Got sick of this thing again.
Tried once more to repair the thing.
Figured out that
The cylinder I've bought for it , which was advertised with an OEM cylinder image and for what I've asked for it to be replaced, since I've got it in the mail...
Doesn't fits the intake boot , because mine it's a 770 and the cylinder is for the 760 .
Which probably has a different stroke or deck height.
Cobbled an adapter plate for the intake from an hardened steel 0.8mm plate .
The new carburettor despite Chinese unbranded stuff works but I can't understand if there's still an air leak somewhere which is likely to be.
The thing runs on choke but can't rev up .
Idles at around 4000 rpm and if I press the throttle it revs up but then don't go down.
If I get the cutter to speed it backfires and dies .
I'm putting the thing on the shelf for at least two months.
Then OEM cylinder and piston , crank bearings, crank seals, everything OEM

Fittings for a miniature steam engine so that an inaccessible union nut with a slightly damaged thread will never need to be undone; this fitting could be undone instead.
And i've been hacking away with a round file at an old pair of pliers I got in an assorted box of old tools, to make an impromptu heath robinson pipe bender for where access is tricky.

Had an attempt at rope splicing, first an eye in cheap cord, then a ring in Mamut 9.5mm dynamic climbing rope. The last inch is frayed but lines up with the mark. If I were going to use this - Im mot, more practise needed... it would be whipped/lockstiched so the fraying wouldnt matter. The female core is tapered and the male core and cover tapered, both 1 fid length.

Peculiar forward anchor plates for the rear seat loop on the Norvin that I'm building for someone.
Every last element of that machine has proved to be a nest of vipers...
But, burning out nests of vipers is a fine occupation, if every there was...

Gate made all from recycled stuff , only cost was two bags of postcrete, a couple of cutting disks, 2 sanding disks ,a bit of oxy propane and a disposable paint brush.
Gate = pallet Wood
Hinges = one incomplete pre made hinge, the other forged with oxy propane to match, hinge brackets two offcuts of angle already cut to that size.
Hinge rods = 16 mm smooth rebar offcuts
Post = old 4 x 4 post thrown away by canal maintenance
Bolts = M12 studding offcuts.
Paint = thrown away customer return from Homebase

Made a hole deeper.
Made some posts and a gate about 5' long for a garden.
A builder had put down a concrete pad to bolt the post to.
Felt a bit iffy drilling and fixing the holding down bolts.
The concrete was 6" deep, leant on the post and pulled the concrete "block" out.
Dug the hole down another metre and welded 900mm extra onto the post base.
