Hours of 'armless fun

 

[Fraserb]

Today I acquired several random round shapes after playing about with the lathe.

Didn't properly thank @skotl for his delivery skills and help to build it back up and get it running yesterday, I'm blaming lack of sleep.

Didn't find any dead junkies then? That happened to one of our guys.

Not much scrap value in them, I would think.

Today I acquired several random round shapes after playing about with the lathe.

First job: find an old Bic ballpoint and a length of 10mm alloy or brass rod and make yourself a new workshop pen
Knurling, taper turning, deep drilling, parting-off and a bit of artisic interpretation.
Should be on the school syllabus.

Here's one I made 15 years ago...

The knurling's not very deep but it gives enough grip without being painful - although it's a bu993r to hold with that cast iron hotplate attached

My gut feeling on this was correct. Was told the battery was knackered. Didn’t seem right as the battery looke to be in good condition. Correct electrolyte levels. No corrosion on the links or terminals. Opened up the charger,evicted all the dust bunnies,and voila,one broken resistor. Looks like this is going to be the cheapest pedestrian forklift ever!

Nice. I love it when a gamble pays off, especially when it's a shot to nothing.

If you don't buy a ticket, you don't win a prize!

Been trying to find one of these for a while now and came across one for the right money on Ebay...Machine Mart under the Clarke badge and very useful today as much as they were back in the day. Dead handy when working on the bikes as the trays all revolve and you can categorize parts as they come off the bike or out the motors

Just the job to wheel into the living room with a selection of tasty snacks and biscuits on.

A customer sent me this in appreciation.
Sad thing, I don't appreciate.
Is it any good?

Terrible stuff, for you. You will not like it at all.
So to save you from misery, just send it to me. I will suffer for you.

A good man, human shaped as well.
Donated me 2 tins.
One I asked for, the other for a clean up experiment.



Why did I ask for one tin?



Because it had a rock in it?
No.
Because of the bits it had in it.

Yes, I have the brace to go with them. Some were in the tidied playpen.

Plus another Plough Plane.



A Record 44.
Needs some TLC.

Had to get some milk and food, so stopped and looked into a local shop.

I want buy one myself as soon as possible because even just stick welding outside on very rusty metal is such a pain for my lungs

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A good day.

Site one, after working in the Green House.
I liberated some ice creams, the 2 shown are a small sample.



Very tasty.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A few more items.


It was cheaper to buy the hammer shafts, wedges, second hand.
Than buy a new handle.

The Polishing mop shaft was £1.

The thing at the end has a dedicated use.
It completes this set.



The hammer shafts and wedges are for this.



Yes, Mr Grumpy. MORE BAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Oreo ones are good but a Maxibon is the king of ice creams.
