10.5 hr with Harper today was a long day .. for us both ...
great little girl, full of life, starting to crawl and trying hard to stand ... can't take your eyes off her :uupps:

between shared supervision I have managed to upload all me pix to date (sorry Holger - that'll fill things up a bit - lot of 'em :uupps: ) :grin:
so now all I have to do is make sense of them all for you ...

don't know whether you can access my gallery, but there are also a LOT in my photobucket .....
https://app.photobucket.com/u/v8druid/a ... ca12291801 .......
https://app.photobucket.com/u/v8druid/a ... b1da7aa068 ....

last 6 just uploading :hurra: :insomnia: :skratta3:

so .... I'll try to catch it all up for you as I can :thumme:

this is what the green frame ended up like ..

Bild

Bild

added the eyebolts, dropped some chains on and a spreader bar and it sat there for a short while .......
Bild

in the meantime I knocked out a small job I'd been waiting for materials to do ... can't recall if you've seen the small trailer I made for the back of our little garden tractor ... but needed to make a couple of bits to finish it off

Bild

Bild#

Bild
top edge lip to re-enforce the timber work
Bild


and a tailboard

Bild

Bild
coat of yacht varnish - or three
Bild

and done
Bild

Bild

Bild

it also tips ... as said can't recall if you've seen the build for this and its sub-chassis ... if not I'll find some pix for you all


Josh turned up from Plymouth at some point at this time and collected his beams ... got some pix of him putting them in somewhere .. will load them when i find them :grin:

Bild

Bild

fitted nicely in his van ... with a few mod.s and the front seat removed :lmao:

so -- green frame -- before I could install it I needed to add some sandwich boards .. reasons will become clear .. so cut some and gave them several coats of treatment ..

Bild

and got them temporarily fitted
Bild

and I am going to post this before I lose it .. or the 'net ... massive thunderstorm overhead :uupps: :uupps:
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

well that didn't last long, but has put about 30mm or water into anything that'll hold it in about 20 minutes :uupps: :uupps:
couldn't see out the windows :grin: :uupps:

picked these up on ebay ... 10t - M42 fixings ... £7 the pair .... had to be bought :mrgreen:
Bild

so .. the green frame ...
wound up the 'Drema and moved it down my yard
Bild

Bild

to somewhere a lot closer to the polytunnel ... and wrestled it on top of said purpose made. precision built, base frame :grin: :grin:
Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild
and bolted it to its new base ... can see now what the sandwich boards were for ... capture the flaps that are supposed to be buried in a fixed position and what were held down by 500+kgs of sand bags, since we had it -- save for one night's flight into the field next door :uupps: :aaargh:

sadly there are no pix of its maiden flight on the base, as I was just a bit busy persuading it under my overhead power cable, but here it is back where it was ... 150mm taller :cool: , a LOT heavier (350kgs) and solidly fixed to it :thummar: :grin:

Bild

Bild

Bild

just had to add a few bits of timber to the flaps to make them stiffer in the bottom and a lot easier to roll up :smile: :thumme:
Bild

Bild

this was early April and out weather had been a hell of a lot better than June has given us .... gardens were starting to come along well
Bild

Bild

Bild

and it was mowing season .. again ....
Countax got its usual service ...
Bild

Bild

and a good clean off .... the Dane got a new battery and got half way round the bank beside the drive, before eating its belt
Bild

Bild

Bild

new one installed and job finished off
Bild

Bild
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

not a great start to a day ..... running fine but the head not going round :sad:

this is supposed to be square :uupps:
Bild

resolution required .. now ... Pam breathing down my neck, wanting to go play strimmers :grin:
very thin and hollow so needed to 'bulk' it out a bit
Bild

for some hot stick treatment :vissla:
Bild

and ground back to shape
Bild

been performing fine since then and Pam loves to lay with the strimmer :vissla: :cool:


we'd decided last year that we needed to buy ourselves some new patio furniture ... decided what'd be suitable/we liked ... and failed to find anyone with stock last year ..... so this year we'd beat the rush.
Had an MRI booked on the 1st April, (first of three this year - so far), other side of Cardiff, so after we'd been there we went on a little further to a specialist place with plenty of choice and importantly stock .... not something one can order on line without sitting in it and having a damned good look at it
So Easter weekend this arrived , having paid for it two weeks earlier
Bild

unpacked it all (very well packaged)
Bild

and assembled the flat pack table
Bild

very pleased .. as we had been when viewing it

bought a big 3m x 2m umbrella ....

Bild

... to suit it and all told it came to circa £3k ... did not like the base for said umbrella .. didn't consider 90kgs of granite slab was heavy enough for us here (it blows a lot - and hard) and I had just the thing at 130kgs plus to keep it put ... but needed a little Druiding :smile: :thumme:
had a little help initially brushing it off - been sat about a while ...
Bild

and set about some mod.s to achieve the desired result
had been used for years in my workshop as a roller stand for a saw, so the upright/socket had to come off
Bild
followed by a 2" pin becoming a 2.25" spigot to suit the bore ... with a key of sorts and a plate to mount the umbrella's base mount to
Bild
which needed anchoring to the base ... which was originally a flywheel off a stationary engine ... had it maybe 40 years .. and it was HEAVY :smile: :cool: .... hole took some drilling too :uupps:
Bild

mount made
Bild
and tried ...
Bild

it now had to end up on the patio ... so a little help needed
Bild

Bild

Bild
my bottle trolley for single bottles made a great sack truck for such a lump
installed in position, with a degree of effort and another 50kgs of 'stage scenery lead weights' dropped on top to be sure - for now
Bild
Pam well pleased with the 'engineering' look of it :grin:

Bild

Bild

we also bought it a set of waterproof covers, which was a very wise investment ... they've not been off a lot :sad: :aaargh: ... when I find a pic, I'll come back and drop it in ... 'gallery' is not easy to search :sad:

ok... found the pic :thumme:
Bild

P27
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

'evening all .... before I could get on with the next job on the agenda I needed to knock out some 'tools' to make life a bit easier ...

so cut some bits of 60.3 x CHS (circular hollow section) and ....
stuck 'em in the lathe
Bild

Bild

Bild

so's I could fit some bearings into them .... followed by a few more bits chopped up

Bild

Bild

Bild

and some assembly work
Bild

to create this
Bild

Bild

followed by ...

Bild

this was what I cut off the umbrella base flywheel and now needed a new base to be useful
Bild

Bild

Bild

had a lot of cutting to do and wished I'd done these before the channel lopping jobs :huh:
Bild

quick coat of shiny tish ..
and freshened up

Bild

Bild

Bild

and in use .... :grin:

Bild

like to keep the materials up off the bed a bit ... presents a smaller cutting area to the blade and extends their life significantly on any flat section cut
Bild

Bild

Bild

and some time to nail it all together .. after the tubes had had some lathe time .... again

Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild

had to wait for some more of these, as I'd used all my stock
Bild

sat awaiting some bearings :vissla:
Bild

so got a couple of coats of paint in the meantime :thumme:
Bild

and after they'd gotten their spinny bits inserted

Bild

Bild

and 'rowed up' ready for the next job
Bild

you'll also note the 'sun' is shining in most of these pix .. in April !! :grin:
and on to the next
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

some of you may have been wondering what's under the big white bag, sat on the bench ... it'd been there a while and before I could really get on with the next job for the BIL I needed to progress that lil' project to get it off the bench ...

I'd bought it off a mate from a.n.other forum - the guy who brought my Hydrema home for me in 2014 and we had become good friends over the years since ...
he runs a low loader and a few machines ...
has a yard based in his best friend's scrap yard and has full access to it, with the pick of whatever arrives ...
they get a lot of surplus kit from a couple of airports ...
and this was out of an aircraft de-icer ..

Deutz BF4M 1012 with a Sauer Danfoss 45G frame VD pump and a .n.other conventional gear pump on the back end of that ...
on a purpose built subframe with a load of ancillaries and 180L hyd tank ...
it all ran the boom and pumps for the aircraft spray heads.

I was interested in the motor as it's identical to what is in the 'Drema and was a very cheap spare to have sat ..
however after Paul had dropped it off, it was pretty obvious I had all the makings of a nice hyd power pack, so I've spent some time planning/building the same ... :smile: :thumme:

so ...... there's rather a lot of this coming up .... not finished yet, but well on the way

the subframe was perfect for the engine, but I needed to extend it to carry the tank and various other 'bits'
I'd made up an extension and had it set up but it needed attaching and some layouts 'working out' ... so tank position needed to be determined
Bild

Bild

Bild

I'd made some mounts for the tank weeks earlier and fitted those so I could weld them to the new extended subframe/chassis, and still be able to remove the tank later, easily

Bild

Bild

Bild

I'd sorted all the ports in the tank weeks earlier too and was able to close all of them off in future if I needed to .. two feeds, two returns, a drain and a probe port
I also needed to fit the oil cooler that came with the package ...

Bild

a lot of head scratching and what if,s for a while ... but needed to get it all sat roughly in position to see if all my ideas would work out
Bild

also needed to locate a decent sized battery somewhere too
Bild

having eventually sussed it all ... I needed to strip it all back off to get it all firmly welded up ......
motor out and
Bild
into a new resting place for a day or so
Bild
tank back off
Bild
to leave me with a bare chassis for attaching a few brackets, battery tray and firm up with the hot stick :grin: :thumme:
Bild
much easier to roll it to weld, than weld it all positionally
Bild
followed by some paint
Bild

Bild
then pick it
Bild
down out the way
Bild
came up the following morning and looked like it had been snowing ... apple blossom every where off the crab apple tree
Bild

needed it off the bench as I wanted the whole bench for the next bit
Bild
3mm sheet of CR4 .. better than hot rolled sheet, as no mill scale on the surfaces, but needs to be kept dry as it rusts as soon as you look at it
Bild

set it out and chopped to make...
Bild
the bits for a fuel tank
Bild

Bild

stashed in the dry, for the night
Bild

then needed to make some mounts ....
Bild
captivate the studs
Bild

Bild

and weld 'em on the underside
Bild

and check for a fit in the support brackets
Bild

then a neck top pate
Bild

Bild
and tack up the tank neck
Bild
before consolidating it all
Bild
check top plate for a fit
Bild
and drill fixing holes
Bild
before tapping the fixings .... tap looks 'pissed' ... it's an optical illusion of the camera ... it was cock on :smile: :thumme:
Bild
and fix top
Bild

time to get things back together
Bild

Bild
and set up the tank support brackets
Bild
and both on
Bild

trial fit for the tank base
Bild

Bild

and mock up where to put the neck for best position .... was pretty sure this was where I wanted it, but wanted to see if if it worked for other things
Bild

Bild

decision made .. tacked in place
Bild
then some more trials
Bild
the not insubstantial air filter had to live somewhere :uupps:
Bild

Bild

Bild

Bild
and reckoned this was the easiest place to be able to plumb it into the turbo mouth :thummar:

next up ..... MIG time
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

all looks rather simplistic there, reading it back .....
a LOT of head scratching and much time went into it ....
and what is yet to come ... :grin:
admittedly in my old workshop, it'd have been a couple of days work ...
but subject to the vagaries of the weather, Clara/Harper minding, can't be arsed days, and all the other things that conspire to keep me from my bench ...
it took weeks to get to there ....
and as said, a lot more has gone into since :smile:


watch this space :vissla: :grin: :grin:

filter installed in position
Bild
and secured
Bild

time to get it to meet the turbo mouth hose ...... bit of a suss and some more CAD work :grin:
Bild

Bild

work out the required cut angles
Bild

set the band saw and chop the first cut
Bild
always pays when doing a cut & shut to put two centre lines at 180 degrees to each other, for aligning after cutting
chop chop
Bild
and the next
Bild
looked OK
Bild
so cleaned up, de-burred and stick-ed together .. breezy morning and couldn't be arsed to get the MIG out for just a few welds
Bild
ground to a finish and trimming to length
Bild

Bild
very gentle feed on such a thin tube, with a 10/6 blade in the saw
Bild

fit looked good ....
Bild
cleaned off and a coat of shiny sh1t, before fitting ......
Bild
that's the inlet weatherproofed :thumme:

this is the VD pump and needed to suss how it was built and what sort of control set up it had
Bild

Bild
I'd blanked the ports on it as soon as i had it with some steel discs and rubber back ups, to keep the weather out

a lot of net searching to determine if it was load sensing or not :huh: :vissla:
Bild

so ......... on to the next bit


P18/17
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!! :uupps:

get an hour and a half outside and it is lashing down AGAIN!!!!! :aaargh: :aaargh: :myzsko:

So next bit ..... oil cooler positioning ...... had just about enough room on the chassis for it, but also needed room to route some plumbing/ hoses, so bit of a rethink :coffee: :huh:
and 'hung' it off the end, to give me the hose clearance I was going to need later
Bild
frame stitched up
Bild
and some mounts created
Bild
and attached
Bild

Bild

trial fit and make sure my thoughts were OK for clearances
Bild

worked out OK so .. bit of protection required and am going to make it a louvre panel to go on the outside
still considering whether to go fixed or self opening louvres

Bild

Bild

Bild

and all consolidated
Bild

ready for ..... you guessed it .......
Bild

Bild

then cooler back in place
Bild

Bild

Bild
with adequate clearance :thummar:


had been waiting a week for what was supposed to have been a 2 day delivery :sad: when this eventually arrived
Bild

Bild
nice unit .... so needed to make it a mount to fit on the tank neck
Bild

Bild

piece of 60.3 CHS to the rescue again and cleaned up the inside bore
Bild

welded a plate to the one end and drilled some fixings for the filler cap assembly
Bild

and spun it up to hole it
Bild

and end up with this :grin:
Bild

sussed a position for it on the neck top plate
Bild

got it welded on and spun it up
Bild

Bild

tapped the mount holes
Bild
de-burred and cleaned off ready for
Bild

attaching the filler
Bild

Bild

Bild

very happy with the way it came together

Our welsh druid has been silent for a disturbingly long time. I'm getting quite worried, is everything ok??

Hi Guys .... yeh sorry for the absence ... new 'puter and has taken some time to determine my log in details ...

Got covid end of July, last year, for a month .. missed all the VERY hot weather we had in August .... then got norovirus a few weeks later and was rough with that for 10 days .... then got a repeat dose the following month :aaargh:

A proper dose of flu over Christmas, rounded a pretty poor year off, health-wise ... not been that unwell in a very looooong time .

weather has not been conducive to doing a lot outside since the new year started :sad: and the odd day that is any good usually coincides with 'kiddy-care' days ... have them all day Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon ... Clara (the 7 yr old) before and after school and Harper the little one all day from 07:45 'til 18:00 ... can be very long days

on a more positive note ... been looking for a 'new' / replacement car for our old VW Golf (Rabbit??) for some time and have been struggling to find something we both like and is not a bloody hybrid or full 'lectric :aaargh: ..... any way we both fancied a Kia Sportage, so went and looked at a few and liked them ... had all but made up our minds on a particular one (we have a big dealership locally),. a 2021 GT line (this model has proven itself over the last 7 years of model run) when the boss saw the new model and fell in love.
so having given it some more thought, decided to go for the newer model which came out in September last year ... the dealers had three demonstrators and negotiated a deal on one of them - 5 months old with 2000 miles on it ... saved £7000 on the new cost and more importantly a 6-8 month wait for a brand new one (have never bought a new car in my life - or a car from a dealership - always bought privately or from friends in the motor trade, or at auction) .... never spent so much on a car either :uupps: :uupps: ..... but may have to last us some time -- don't want an electric one (or another diesel) and not many makers offer a pure petrol car any more. so we are now the 'proud owners' of this ....

hopefully it will last us until all this electric bollox has died a death and hydrogen has become 'the fuel of the future' :grin: :thummar:

Apart from the test drive when I was buying it, I've only done 6 miles in it, bringing it home ... the boss has used it more than I have .... got to say it is a VERY nice motor

anyway ...
Will try and look in a bit more frequently fellas, now I have been able to get back in ...... and thanks for thinking of me :thummar: :thummar:

Forgot to say ... had negotiated a tow bar fitted in the deal ... still waiting for it to arrive and be fitted ... the Golf is the only car I have ever owned that has not had a tow bar and do I ever miss having one on that :sad: ... so this had to have one :thumme:
still have my P38 range rover, but the air suspension on that has been giving me grief and not driven it for a few weeks whilst I've been fault finding

the new chariot, sat at home :smile: :cool:
