Then it was time for tiny helicoils :



And a piece of Phos Bronze for a front sight blade:




Bloody fiddly:



It works too:



Yes, that is the sight picture, always keep the front sight in focus.

 

[Chillitt]

I have made a start on cutting and polishing the rattle can paint job on the GPz. Given I've never cut or polished before, I think its going OK. Instruction was given, more is welcome

 

[redlig]

Decided the lump of wood stuck on the top of a camera tripod acting as a rifle steady could be improve a bit . Found a couple of Ally odds and knocked up this ,simple effective but most importantly free.

 

[Memmeddu]

Removed all the interiors on the 126p discovered it would be much harder than what I thought.
It should be at the scrapyard.
It's a challenge with myself because I tend to give up when things go wrong and I won't give up with it.
Frustrating time consuming a money pit surely not worth the effort by any means.
But I'll try anyways because I already got panels for it and at least those have to be fitted.
Not willing to repeat the mistake of buying another one because it would not be much different than the one I already have and honestly they are extremely hard and expensive to get.

Kitchen tap repair, turned this.

Then picked it up when it was hot. Idiot!

 

[Hood]

Some bits for the prototype side stand, made two rods in case I decide a fixed foot is better than the ball joint one. My idea may come to nothing but you have to try

 

[Kram]

Found an old tube of contact adhesive, now appears to have gone bad but I used it anyway. Cut two rubber sheets, glued them on - which just stayed as a gooey mess.. Its just padding to protect it.
Battery now strapped securely in place.

 

[oldbikedavey]

Mild inroads into cleaning up my main work bench.
Some time after Easter, I may actually clean up the Colchester a bit beyond the level of the utter abomination that it currently is....

 

[northwest]

Well I am going to say it. Today I made nothing and did nothing, couple emails and one Snot_A_Gram then lunch with my pal. I'll do something tomorrow, probably.

 

[cheb]

I've built the unit for the kitchen sink and got the sink roughly installed. I might yet plumb it in tomorrow, I don't fiddle with the plumbing when the shops are shut or will soon be shutting.

 

[Memmeddu]

Today I've disassemble all the interiors of the 126p.
Back home for lunch
Back to my land but with the husky consaw for run it little bit and then run it out of fuel.
Back in town I went to fix a fryer.
Disassembled found the fault in the thermal protection.
Made a temporary fix till the new one arrives.
Got paid.
Then I took the vacuum cleaner back to my brother who lend it to me to clean the 126p little bit.
Back home put few things on the shelf.
Not even had dinner I'm currently going to sleep.
Tomorrow it's a working day and I'm extremely tired

 

[Tupers]

Two doors skinned twenty to go.

 

[Bullet2012]

Two doors skinned

Is that the Mini-mum .

 

[Barking Mat]

Nearly finished cutting up my probably oak cider press, as no one wants them nowadays, and it had been sat in a corner for three years.

Cut up into rayburn sized slices then split, bloody hard work, chainsaw was playing up too, but got coaxed back into life eventually.

I have a love / hate relationship with my chainsaw, I love it when it works, hate it when it doesn't. Did the job though.

 

[Barking Mat]

This is the second house I've bought with a cider press, you can't give them away over here.

Burns really really well after the effort.

 

[northwest]

Well, decided to wind up a pal today, this will make him curse :-)

Drawbar tops:



For thse of you who don't get it right away:



I have no idea how the one on the left ended up looking like it does?

I think it's funny though it may backfire, he could well make a spanner to fit.

Then I decided to make a start on some spring compressors using 1" 6065 bar, but needed to turn the surface off first, I was impressed with myself to be truthful:

 

[roblane65]

I've no idea what I'm looking at but I'm impressed too .

 

[Memmeddu]

Attempted to weld my Stihl Ms 361 engine block at work.
Various settings no way to succeed I seriously doubt it's made out of aluminum or magnesium alloy.
Because it acted just like magma zama or antimony do.
Welds were brittle, tons of porosity, greyish blue oxidation big craters and the arc acted just like when you forgot to put the ground clamp.
Next attempt would be put a piece of steel into the cavity of the casting, drill and tap through everything, a set screw and epoxy compound
