Grinder sparks and a X taped to a bikes headlight would see you being called a hipster, it's a slippery slope mate.....
Hahahaha.
Looks good though.
thanks barra, I got tied form all the laps as well lol
shhhhhhh be very very quite, we are hunting hipsters...... I will go ahead dan and walk amongst them,
learn their ways so we may destroy them......
All fucking hipsters must die.....
Ha ha.
so i have been looking for a valve spring tester on and off for a while
any of the good ones cost lots..... and while its not really a issue the cheep ones
cant handle this ex lab testing unit cam up for the same cash as a ebay cheepy's
the choice was clear.
spent some more time on the fab table, i still need to finish the electrics and hydraulics
one of the electrical jobs was to make a new safety fence to suit the new top
it needed to be light but ridged, on a job at start of the year we needed some custom roofing flashing ordered
this happened to be bundled up with it all, I really dont know how that happened....
some cutting and some pop rivets later i have a safety fence, no switches on it yet but im getting there
..
Was that easy sliding over the table to get it underneath once you put it together?
was a bit of a pain si but still easier than taking of a bra, I still have trouble with that :-)
You should stop wearing them then.
But they come in a pair with my frilly panties,
some more work on the safety fence, fitted the electrical switches to it on ally base plates i had siliconed on.
I copied the small ally arms and used electrical wire crimps instead of the wire crimped ones they had.
Some tig welded m6 bolts underside of the table gave me a adjustable hook point to hang the switch lines from.
In each underside corner the whole fence sits on m10 allthread that i had welded the nuts for in the very begining
when i was working on the raw table top. I always knew I would have to relieve the sheet metal to clear the removable
electrical power and control plug but I was particularly happy with the neat way it integrated into build.
..
so i got sick of those hard to get to places with low light you fight with when welding.
you end up trying to get a light to shine in the right spot etc.... well no more, i improvised...
one 3.3 lipro battery cell check,
one charger to suit said battery check,
one high output cre led check
one small heat sink to suit said led
one switch and plugs to allow for charging and removal check
some solder and hot glue later....
well lets just say i think this is one of my better ideas.....
also i hate the std hand piece switch found on most std tig hand pieces, so much so i riped it of ages ago and have been
only using the foot control. that is fine for std jobs but becomes a pain again in tight hard to reach places. i cant aford the
800 for the upgraded handpiece i would like so again i improvised..... small board mounted switch and some hot glue later
and im much happier
..
You might be on to something there Lynton.
Low tech version - conduit clip and a LED torch:
makes a big difference doesn't it ben, nice easy cheep solution you have there,
Si seems im not the only one lol
more up dates, finally picked up my pan brake but as i purchased it sight unseen
i ran in to a problem this end unloading. i cant complain as in truth this is the first thing
i have had to construct a way to lift off the trailer this end but thats what i had to do....
...
Nice work. Discover a problem and fix it.
Any idiot can get themselves into trouble it's the getting outOriginally Posted by Gix11
that makes the difference or so I keep telling myself, not being
silly enough to get into trouble in the first place might be smarter lol
Someone elses idea - haven't been welding enough lately for me to get off my arse and copy it!
Still a great idea, tho I give that one 10 minutes before
as I try to get my head under something I smash it of the top lol
