Stuff you have made today

Some welding content on a welding forum

Bushes welded in and left to cool over lunch so I could actually handle them even with gloves on.

Then welded onto a set of forks that's slowly being killed through abuse. One day I will remake them out of some beefier stuff but not today. For now splatter the weld on and keep them going.

Spikes have been inserted to unload the bale of straw but I think that'll wait until they've cooled down a wee bit.

AE is the English abbreviation. Shorter and more realistic.

The rest of my gear is either Japanese, Chinese or Italian. All of them use either ANT or Antenna in full. It just looked out of place against that background.

I’ve 4 of these box/flat beams to weld together. Welded with shims in place strategically to combat distortion but they still bowed 7mm over 4.1m. So tomorrow guess what I’m attempting!View attachment 502953

You needed to do a bit of presetting on that

Some railings to match the existing,so plain ready made scrolls unfortunately . Nevertheless,the view makes up for it.

What would you do? I had a 3mm shim about 100mm square at each end,then carver clamped to a 203 UC,should the shim be thicker?

If you're still getting 7mm bow with 3mm shims, I'd guess yeah you need more shim. Not sure if it's as simple as adding up the deflections, so 10mm shim? I mean 10mm over 4.1m isn't a huge amount for the weld to pull back.

In a right bodge, half way through fitting a new power feed I really needed to use the mill. So a length of sawn off broom handle is holding the drive gear in place. Will probably finish it some time in the next few years...

Bit of clock repair. I altered this pendulum suspension hook by cutting a slot in it wih a junior hacksaw.
Its to fit onto the suspension spring in a movement from an old grandmother clock that i got when an old aunt died years back. Its been sitting there waiting for a bit of attention all this time.
The original pendulum had been lost so i had this one that fits the bill so a bit of a mod and the old girl might run again

Looks very similar to the one I bought in error.

Evening all.

So fairly recently a friend spotted this 110 volt Powerfeed for sale second hand on a French equivalent of Gumtree (LeBonCoin), thought of me, phoned me, advertised as from a Bridgeport, and now it's mine. Was about €100.

This photo does not show it complete, there's a fast advance button I've unplugged, to get to the business end, it's missing the cover which should protect the big gear you can see on the left hand end, I can either make or buy one, that's not the issue.

It works, does everything it should, been tested by my mate and me, nice solid cast...

Daft little thing. It's a dimensionally accurate copy of a pound coin for wifey to put in shopping trolleys

How much did it cost you to make?

That is a question you should never ask especially on this forum.

You do know you can get them for a small donation to charity, usually mounted on a keyring?
