This toilet/shower tent,we’ve joined France Passion,which offers free camping on smallholdings and farms,you have to be independent so will take our camping toilet,they have over 2000 locations,usually in beautiful surroundings.
Have to include the instructions for the amusing phrases and preventative measures,written by a Nun!View attachment 354390View attachment 354391

These tents are also great for Astronomy. Quick to set up to protect telescope optics from changes in the weather; especially good to have at Star Party events.

I’ve got one from eBay, less than a tenner I think, which i use as a spray booth. Only for small stuff but a heat lamp makes it nice and toasty and to rattle can bits it’s fine without getting dust on the bits or paint on my stuff

"Preventing penetration"... presumably what they're trying to say is: "no-one will want to have sex with you if you buy this tent"

 

[Dr.Al]

This should be fun to play with...

 

[Hood]

Just arrived, now all I need to do is work out how to adapt the mini brake to hold it

Nice ..... what is it?


Thanks,

It's a 3D scanner (from a kickstarter project). Creality Lizard or something like that.

 

[25.4_mechanic]

It's a 3D scanner

Thanks!

"3D scanner" like in: scan it, get a complete data-set of it, (modify it), reproduce it by what ever means are suitable like 3D-printer or mill or ....?

Something like that?

Thanks again.

That's the idea (or scan something and model other bits to go around it, which can then be printed).

Did I miss something?

Asking what made a set On Here you should know better

 

[DAPPH]

Today I took possession of two very useful mumps of cut to size steel , many thanks Rob.
They will replace my homemade band saw cut aluminium blocks . Even my lass was impressed at what they can be used for .

I might even band saw cut the fullest sides into dove tail grooves & grind out the waste or just same height 1/2 inch holes so that I can use home made bridge clamps to hold tube etc in the V's to give me both hands use when drilling out .

.... a few small and medium things and an unexpected realisation ....

Yesterday I had presented HERE thrust bearings that had just arrived.

Because of the delivery times associated with the considerable distance and experiences I had already made, I had ordered from two different suppliers at the same time, which was easy in view of the low prices.

Today the other order arrived:

I immediately noticed that, to my surprise, a different design was delivered for the identical size.

I then looked at yesterday's delivery again and found that it also consisted of bearings of different designs, so that I now have three variants for the same purpose.

A small tiltable rotary table, equally suitable for the small Myford and the milling machine.

Not exactly of outstanding quality, but also nowhere near as bad as some of the comments one finds about this manufacturer suggest: The table rotation drive is suitably sensitive, the scales are sufficiently accurate, one turn of the handwheel really does correspond to ten degree of adjustment (even after a full turn of the table), the graduation is easily sufficient for 1/4° resolution with a backlash of about 1/8°.

There was also a device that I had not seen before, which the seller called a tailstock, but which I could imagine functioning more as a counterholder for shafts to be machined on the milling machine, opposite a dividing head .... but maybe it has exactly the same name in your language ....

This part is also not of outstanding quality, although it has a feature that I have remembered as a characteristic of very high-quality devices, this ruffled varnish - in the meantime, perhaps a way has been found to produce this quickly and cheaply and one can no longer rely on this feature as an indicator for high quality ...

What is the name of the last part shown? Thank you.


Have a nice evening all,

Carsten

Thats a tailstock for a dividing head on a mill.

 

[Maker]

I know it as a tailstock, and it's used exactly as you describe.

Thank you both very much. That name tailstock (in German Reitstock like ridingstock) until now I did know only as a part of a lathe.

Since I haven't seen such part before, it could well be that in German the use of the same name on lathe and mill is common - I'll find out

Nice I at least imagined the function right
