actually managed to find a new vibe drive belt for me roller this week :thumme:

..... old one's a bit tired and intermittent on the ol' vibe :sad:

. So managed to put the roller over everything and really get it whacked down ready for the black stuff :thummar:

oh and the bloody acorn season has kicked off :myzsko:

damned things rain down, in some order, when they get going. :sad:

Rolling them under the planings ain't an option...... if you don't want oak trees everywhere :uupps:

need to get the black stuff here and spread about PDQ :vissla:

spent some time yesterday sorting a.n.other lil' job for Alex ...

needed a mount that'd take various cheek sets .... the primary one being one of my S50s I made for him a while back.. :vissla:

the S50s are the same width as the Lloyd mounting centres .... as in EXACTLY :aaargh:

..... those 6 x M20 bolts sit precisely under the S50 cheeks so ..... spacer plate required with all mounts tapped into it :vissla:

M20s to mount the spacer adapter

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/buckets/WP_20180907_14_23_24_Pro_zpsythb1rde.jpg

and M16s for the S type

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/buckets/WP_20180907_15_48_33_Pro_zpsqqwnm5ow.jpg

had to fit the tags to carry the plumbing/valves, as they originally fitted under the M20 bolts holding the tiny head plate it arrived with.

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/buckets/WP_20180907_15_57_16_Pro_zpsprx9wmjr.jpg

so we were ready for a trial fit :thumme:

M20 SHCS,s were a mil. too long so had to grind them off flush :sad:

..... other than that :vissla:

had to tweak the plumbing a bit to get things to sit right ..... but it'll do .............. nicely

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/buckets/WP_20180907_17_22_20_Pro_zpsbyrbrowz.jpg

mount hole sets are std kinshoffer 140mm x 140mm ctrs x 4no and 175mm PCD x 6no :vissla:

...... same as all his other att.s .... keep it standard. :thumme:

... and guess who else uses those 'standard' mount dim.s on his att.s too :grin:

went off for a trial fit this morning .... see if anything else needs tweaking, but hopefully not. :grin:

..... unlikely to be run under the SMP anyway, by the sound of it, as the flow rate is pretty serious :uupps:

it may be called a "Nanostar" .... but sod all 'nano' about it :uupps:

pissed down just after we got it strapped down ...... hence i've been sat here most of the day :sad:

**#1112** » 01:12:38, 12-09-2018

the Lloyd went on .... without the SMP ..... bit tight with it apparently ... and won't flow enough oil anyway :sad:

face shovel style was easier ... for running / loading it ... does a hell of a job :thumme:

I've been looking for a turret mill for quite a while and had found a real tidy Ajax, not far from me, :giggle: full DRO, ex training school, so light use and very nice. :thummar:

had been in touch with the guy quite a while back, but could never nail him down to a day, to go take a look :sad:

..... mostly to have a suss of HTF to get it from there :aaargh:

... at a sensible cost, :vissla:

as he had no way of loading it ... and to decide exactly which model it was .... they [Ajax] make four ... one of which is a LUMP!! :uupps:

From dimensions supplied i'd eventually worked out which model it was and was about a ton, so if i could find either an FLT local, or a suitable beam to hang a 3t pull-lft off, it'd happily go in me trailer, behind the P38 :thumme:

...... then he went quiet for a few weeks :sad:

I eventually got some further com.s from the seller, only to find he'd blown it and a load of other gear out to a dealer, to clear it all for the new term's start .. he'd had three of these!! :eek:

...Was well pissed off!!! ..... would've been ideal. :sad:

so new Ebay saved search entered and see what crops up.
would've preferred this over a Bridgeport .... heavier built all together ! :cool:

I was absolutely gutted .... was very cheap :sad:

Like new or damned near it .... if I'd known he'd had three, I'd have been up there with a truck and hiab and had all of 'em ... very re-sale-able ... especially at the price he was asking ... well under half of what they usually make. :sad:

and kept the best one for meself !! :vissla:

these don't come up very often .... especially not in this condition !! :sad:

**#1113** » 01:23:20, 12-09-2018

I keep forgetting to show you guys Alex's truck that we did the bed for a while ago

not the greatest of pix and still bits to be done :vissla:

... the back end has some under-body tool boxes being made ATM, to come down to the wings and infill the 'void'. They took some measuring up a few weeks ago :eek:

.... the body guys did a superb job on it including some stunning paintwork. Making flat ali panels that well takes a LOT of doing :cool:

.... he's since put a full set of up-rated 'susspendies' on it with IIRC +2" of lift and pre-loaded for the additional dead weight.
Gives about 800kg payload, with it all fitted :thummar:

he designed it and had it made by some bodybuilders ... it is VERY smart :thumme:

... I spent some time straightening out the bed for it, that he fabbed up and making the wings, if you recall :vissla:

...... Need a good bench and some practice to make flat beds and keep 'em flat. :smile:

and here's one with the roof rack on the back end .....

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180703_21_07_43_Pro_zpszyonjvsw.jpg

He spent a few years in Oz and it's a combination of all the best features he saw on 'utes' out there :thumme:

and a few of his own ideas. :idee3:

he tells me that you can buy just a chassis cab out of the dealers out there ..... or spec. exactly what you want on it and it arrives in this sort of spec./flatbed/whatever .... new out the box :thummar:

lovely day, so spent some time yesterday, juggling firewood about :vissla:

.. been meaning to get this done for a while .... woodshed needs filling for the winter, 'fore it rains properly again and it all gets soaked :sad:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180912_13_04_21_Pro_zps2fgfhqqx.jpg

slung three down onto the drive and took one down with me ... :thumme:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180912_13_14_50_Pro_zpseso2qz0e.jpg

then slung the rest down ..... :smile:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180912_13_26_49_Pro_zpsugv1pjht.jpg

bag lifter is so easy and quick ...and 'Pam friendly' ... POP to use :thummar:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180912_16_21_08_Pro_zps1tlz8g5b.jpg

three and a half bags later ... and two hours of in/out - up/down in that bloody wood shed .... remembering to duck every time - almost!! :vissla:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180912_18_25_52_Pro_zpswgiwiagf.jpg

get a few more in there yet, I reckon ..... after a bit more of a square up and losing the last half bag already down there :vissla:

................... and my feet have recovered :sad:

losing the bags, from up top, made me some space to relocate some of me pallet pile and the third wood box, which've all been sat on the new flat area :huh:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180912_15_45_40_Pro_zpsh9koolwl.jpg

and got this all cleared, ready for some black stuff and 40mm :grin:

when it eventually arrives!! :sad:

.... the black stuff guys are real busy ATM :aaargh:

Also lifted me band saw out into a more usable spot :thumme:

.... got a few jobs for it shortly :grin:

and had yet another small reshuffle of a few items, while I was at it :vissla:

**#1115** » 22:36:13, 13-09-2018

also slotted the last three, out of the ten I'd filled, into me trailer for a Sunday morning delivery to the step daughter's in the village :vissla:

..... gotta keep that lil' girl of theirs warm when the weather turns to sh1t .. :huh:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180915_17_20_55_Pro_zpsn35eogyy.jpg

which it has well and truly done Wednesday and Thursday howling, horizontal rain ..... lots of it !!!! :aaargh:

got the last of me pallet stack slotted away for now ...... :thumme:

with all the bags gone off the top of the drying cages. :vissla:

stopped off on me way back from the village, Sunday, for a bit of an inspection to see what the field's looking like .... :huh:

was going to give it another once over, ....... 'til the weather turned to sh*t :sad:

... be a while 'fore i can get on there again after the last two days rain ... with wheels, anyway !! :sad:

Pallex turned up Wednesday morning with me latest acquisition :grin:

with 3 phase now on tap ..... 120 Amps of plasma will make for some easy cutting of most things I want to do :thummar:

.... will do 32 mm clean and more with patience :grin:

Needed a bit of a clean, but he'd done an excellent packaging job, for it's trip back from Ireland ! :thummar:

in light of Wednesday afternoon's weather and the forecast for yesterday, we'd planned a day out to go take a look at this .....

new Trago Mills shop in Merthyr ... it's ****ing HUGE :uupps:

looks like a Disney creation .... God knows how they got planning for it ??? :???:

600 metres long in the main 'hall' .... stood at the one end you can't make out the other end clearly - where the floor stops and the roof starts :eek:

Been to their other places in Devon and Cornwall years ago and always well priced and stocked with all sorts of interesting stuff :thumme:

.... this one's no different, just on a MASSIVE scale :eek:

.... picked up a few bits and bobs ... that you'd just not expect to find ... like boxes of M20 nuts, :smile:

- got a great range of fixings .. huge tool selection .... all sorts of stuff and well priced, as usual. :thummar:

Nice roast turkey lunch - I love turkey and again very well priced !! :eat:

wild old day though .... front sliding doors blew in as I was heading out of 'em :eek:

... caused a bit of a panic with the staff !! think they may need a rethink on them :huh:

.... some screening might be in order outside the entrance or they're gonna be sorting them on a regular basis :lmao:

..... but if they will build in Merthyr!? ..... LOL :skratta3:

**#1117** » 01:55:20, 22-09-2018

well we had some bloody rain yesterday ... left an empty cup out .... a good 60mm in it this morning .... wild winds with it too .. bits of tree and bloody acorns everywhere :sad:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180921_09_28_50_Pro_zpsbz4ypytz.jpg

been 'shopping' down me mates place, this morning ..... :thumme:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180921_15_01_48_Pro_zpsdmwvxn5d.jpg

been instructed to 'produce' a fire guard, similar to what I had to create, to keep young Clara away from our Morso, :vissla:

for Josh's little un, Shem who's one very soon and becoming more mobile by the day. :eek:

With 'hot box' season coming on he needs to be kept at a distance from their wood guzzler. :vissla:

so after unloading me 'spoils' I plugged the band saw in and wound up the genny, as I had a couple of other items to lop up too, whilst I was at it ..... :grin:

apologies for the lousy, flared image :sad:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180921_16_29_55_Pro_zpso7ymxzwf.jpg

an hour later ..

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180921_17_16_03_Pro_zpsvpwlry6n.jpg

one fireguard kit :thummar:

also gave it a try on summat a little larger to see what it was like for square ....... pretty good, so ......... :buga:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180921_17_17_51_Pro_zpsifrrfyfv.jpg

knocked the genny off and set the bandsaw up for mitre-ing some box section ... got a 25' length sat in it and all set to go ...... pushed the go button on the genny and ........ nada :sad:

...... other than this warning light :???:

..... WTF are "delayed inputs" and who told 'em to be active ?? weren't me :aaargh:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180921_18_06_28_Pro%20edit_zpspigad1fj.jpg

So .... phone call to me mate the genny man ... a few tricks tried and still ...... Nada!! ....
there are far too many fancy lectrikery gizmos in't control box ...... I am never going to need a modem to communicate with it .... and that is my best guess as to a culprit, ATM ..... we'll see tomorrow, ..... Serge is coming over for a shufty .... if it doesn't piss down, as forecast .... or it starts, if it doesn't rain :vissla:

ran sweet as a nut for an hour or more and started first flick
so that was the end of my metal lopping for today ..... but was gone six by the time i'd finished faffing about and scratching my head looking for anything obvious in the panel
damned annoying as I'd have had it all lopped by then ..... fire guard, a couple of gates, I have been incessantly nagged about for a looooooong time and a bag lifter for me firewood man :vissla:

**#1118** » 09:15:39, 22-09-2018

Thanks for the input Oh Druid! :shake_hands:

**#1119** » 12:05:50, 22-09-2018

I give you an flower! :bira:

**#1120** » 02:18:04, 24-09-2018

.... when the rain eventually ceased dropping out the sky, 'bout 12 today, I went and eyeballed yon genny again ...... sod all obvious in the way of re-sets, so re-introduced the battery to the system, with the isolator and up comes said "delayed inputs active" orange light .... bearing in mind that up until Friday, I'd never seen it lit before. :???:

turned the key to manual and pressed the go button ............. and away it went :???:

....... AND said light turned green :???:

after about 20 seconds of running :???:

..... WTF??

So blessed with 3ph again, :grin:

.. I got a lead out, plugged in the band saw and cut up a pair of gate frames :thummar:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180923_12_25_23_Pro_zpsz4jfrjqf.jpg

then plugged in me belt grinder and sorted all the shaping up on the fire guard kit, sharpened up a few chisels and re-ended a few bars and drifts that were in need re-shaping , before turning yon genny back off. :thumme:

Probably ran it as long as I had the other day, when it refused to re-start. ..... Started sweet as a nut again ...... and again 10 minutes later, with said light doing the same sequence each time. :???:

I need to get some better info. on the 'nuances' of this old girl :vissla:

Anyway ...... with the big yeller thing in the sky co-operating, thought I'd get said fire guard assembled

started with the end panels/returns first

bloody weather had to have a go, just to remind me how fickle it can be :aaargh:

but didn't last long :thumme:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180923_17_38_39_Pro_zpsdqaoprq5.jpg

the off-stand / distance from the 'hot-box' isn't huge, if I'm reading Josh's dimensioned photos right :???:

.... certainly not enough to stop a one year old from reaching it, so the central area had to have some Shem-proofing, with reduced bar spacings being favored over meshing it. :vissla:

..... hence the gaps reducing by 50%, in't middle section. :vissla:

got the ends onto it .....

although it looks a lot bigger in the pix .... the centre gaps are only 30mm and after discussions with SWMBO the consensus was .... no way is he going to get his arm through them

Way toooooo breezy today, for even contemplating MIG, :sad:

so stick and chip it was :vissla:

....... tea interrupted the consolidation process :eat:

and was getting on for dark by the time I'd come back to it, got this all welded up :smile:

...... plus a few capping pieces onto a couple of bits of 70mm square, I'd had sat, for a.n.other lil' job as well, whilst the Caddy was whirring. :thummar:

If the forecast is to believed :skratta3:

... 'sposed to be wall to wall blue sky tomorrow, :hurra:

so an hour or so,s fettling in the a.m. and this can have a coat of not so shiny sh1t (satin black) and get left to dry in peace in a box. :vissla:

get the 70mm bits fettled as well and assembled, then I can start on 'the boss's much mithered for gates.

These women don't understand the need for seeeeeerious thought processes in creating :vissla:

..... taken me ages to hit on an idea for hanging these damned gates ... 'tain't gonna be an easy one :sad:

.... it's got to look right, as I will be looking at it, ad infinitum and now't pisses me off more, :aaargh:

than looking at summat and thinking, " if only I'd done ...... " :vissla:

That's the sturdiest "toddler guard" I've seen :thummar:

By the way....nice to have all firewood for the winter inside....I'm not envious... :snow:

( almost there my self....)
I suppose the plasma is back to a good caring home (this time around)..... good old friends are always welcome. :grin:

What about a minor electric fence devise? :vissla:

well the 10mm bars usually arrive straight :grin:

..... 8mm'd be a better proposition aesthetically, :thumme:

but never stay straight and bend far too easily, :sad:

even after assembly :sad:

Top rail needs to be substantial, to maintain its shape

always looks better with a coat of all one colour :vissla:

Plus it'll see me out......and the next generation :grin:

Yes, good to have a woodshed crammed, with nice dry timber :cool:

As for the plasma; a little disappointing to see it's been 'neglected' a little :sad:

.... was like new when it left me :vissla:

it's 'old tech' and the newer inverter tech may be smaller/lighter, but this is a 'known quantity' and I know just what it'll do :thummar:

inverter tech to cut what this will, is also BIG money and 3 ph anyway :vissla:

better the devil you know ........... etc. :thummar:

sun's out, daylight's burning ..... time to go finish a guard and get on with the next :vissla:

Evil

..... interesting idea, :grin:

but evil all the same :skratta3:

well yon forecast was spot on :thummar:

...... paint pot out this morning :vissla:

.........after a LOT of fettling and spatter removal :sad:

getting Blackfriars black board paint to cover with a decent finish is an art form :smile:

..... one I am well acquainted with after many years of decorative iron work coating :huh:

but a slow process ..... yet to find a better product to produce as good a finish :vissla:

..... all down to the wrist action :grin:

then moved on ..... eventually :vissla:

..... to the lil' 70mm box section job I mentioned .... a.n.other job for Alex .... sign post gibbet for the project he's just finishing off on :thumme:

... for this year, at least !! :huh:

all it needs now is the base plate to arrive :???:

Then ...... got started on 'the boss's gate requirement :thumme:

I'm in the middle of this and Pam arrives :sad:

..... she's been in painting mode today :huh:

..... having interrupted the gibbet creation earlier, to get her a tub of bituminous mixed up to do the soffits on the mower shed (which saved me doing it),there was now a can you just ?? .... :uupps:

Pam hates heights ... as in, can't stand on a chair :skratta3:

.... could I come and do the gable....she could manage the rest :vissla:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/scans/WP_20180924_17_35_46_Pro_zpsawwqaotb.jpg

it certainly needed a coat, after all the blazing sun shine we've had, through the summer, it was in need of sealing over again, for the coming winter's weather :uupps:

.. that end catches a lot of the worst of it :vissla:

...... so half an hour later I was back to me bench .. having covered the 'pointy bit', leaving Pam on the rest :thummar:

only one sure way to create a match pair ........ :vissla:

hinge creation tomorrow ....... then I am going to need some idea of just what she has in mind for infill :???:

...... I have several ideas, but have to get them past 'committee' :grin:

.... she has a few, but no idea of HTF I am gonna achieve some of 'em :???:

..... more on that one again :vissla:

treatment night, so 'early bath', hence half a shed end painted and me finishing while it was still light :uupps:

...... great sky tonight after it ...... :cool:

hard to do it justice without going and getting a decent camera out.......by which time it would have disappeared :sad:
