Such an awesome thread, the talent here is seriously impressive. It must just be when people starting talking and typing they turn into bellends 😉

Mowgli's canoe is astounding and I love Giant's kitchen above.

Amazing thread.

Samurai are you still doing your drawing?

I made a earth-oven for pizza and bread etc. last summer. Used a great little book by Kiko Denzer, got the kids involved and had a hoot and then had really amazing pizza. Recommended. Sorry no pics..

How have I missed this thread until now ?

Round about the time this thread started, Mrs MTG had a serious accident and I had to make some wheelchair ramps.

She's back on her feet now, so I have just recycled them as a social housing project for Mrs MTG Junior's pet rabbit.

Yeah. It's not the same as really making something though. I stalled for a while too in quality.

I sold the naked lady picture which was nice and I've had a few commissions but I'm on a bit of a downer with my quality right now. I drew my wife and her two sisters (which my wife doesn't want on the internet), spent absolutely ages on it and now hate it. My wife has three prints of it in A3 size and is about to get them framed and given to her sisters and I absolutely hate it.

Edit: right now I'm drawing Wolverine from one of the films in biro. I've only drawn his head and neck so far and love it. I guarantee once I've finished I'll hate it.

Work in progress.
Should have this finished this week and will get a pic up then...

Some bread

After struggling with a cheap bread machine and throwing most of the bread that it made, I took the plunge and bought an expensive Panasonic machine (as recommended on here in another thread)

It's is the first loaf out of it.

It smelled, felt and tasted wonderful.

[img] [/img]

And the head
[IMG] [/IMG]

Finished it.
Dad's old trailer needed some serious TLC. Especially since I found he'd torn one of the axle mounts nearly clean off. So I borrowed a mate's Mig box and stripped, repaired and refurbished the whole thing. TBH Ive only ever Arc welded before so for a first stab at Mig it was a bit interesting. Not the finest welding in the world. But it will hold.

Lush trailer. Nice one.

in all of my work i can only see the mistakes and things i wish to change, no matter what else is said about it.

i do love this thread

Nice trailer Stoner. Way more versatile than a pick up.

The trick with MIG welding is to get everything shiny and bright before welding. There's not a lot that can go wrong with bg angle iron stuff. It's rusty thin plate rusty chassis material that's tricky. Not looking at Land Rovers particularly.

Worked that out after producing a perfect line of weld..... 4mm away from the other piece of metal 😳 The arc wouldnt make contact to the uncleaned face

That trailer is only really rated for 750Kg, but then so is my nancylander as well. Fine for a load of logs/bag of briquettes.

Going back a few years (simply don't have time any more) I made some drum n bass with a couple of mates

Stoner - nice job on the trailer. Check the bolts holding the hitch on - i had a similar trailer once where someone had fitted 12.9 unplated caphead bolts. One completely sheared. Thankfully i noticed!

Is that a mk1/2 festa?

Its an Opel Kadett...... of sorts......... only a lot faster

Oh and meant to say, Mowgli - That canoe is just fantastic, big respect for that

Mrs S wanted a front wheel support while she's in the turbo trainer. Some PVC waste pipe, and a bit of bodging later...

The last chapter in the shed my brother and I just built. We made the door from the last of the flooring and the bench from the last couple of posts and some scaffolding boards.

All of you are very talented, seems to be a large amount of engineer/metal worker types.

Kudos to you all particularly as the last thing I made was a cup of coffee, although it was tasty!

Today, I made a solid lump of steel and brass out of a seized bottom bracket 😉

[img] [/img]

go on, Ben, what the hell is that for? Fixed foot rest for a bar stool perhaps?

It's not for anything - it was seized into a frame, and this was the only way to get it out!

Last week I stripped serviced and reassembled one of these.

34x500ml bottles of American Pale Ale brewed from scratch, 5.8%ABV. Just bottled & labelled this afternoon/evening

We looked at this today.

That's a double garage you can see to the left and yes, that's a large brick shed in the back garden. All I could think about was all the stuff I could keep and make in those manrooms and then show on this thread.

What a pity it was on the edge of a war zone.

Samuri - someone also stole it's soul along with the lawn 🙁

j_d that looks fantastic. While I was fettling earlier my eye fell on the crate of cider and perry I made 2 yrs ago. One of each made it into the house. I reckon I can open one up now....

Yeah, it's a bit modern. It does have a large grass back garden. We only looked because it's huge and very cheap. Once we got there and realised it was in an awful place we understood why,

I made it home with a Surly Steamroller's BB threads in one piece. Cheers Ben... Thought at one point that the frame was gone. Would recommend Kinetics to anyone in the Glasgow area.

This thread is my favorite part of the internet.

A stem. Not for any bike in particular, just to play with my stem jig 😉

Drac for the win 😀

and just how are you supposed to fit wiggly bars in that stem eh Ben? Daft obsolete designs 🙄

This is why god invented forging!

A bit more Titanium tinkering. Quite pleased with colours on this one.

Wiggly bars? Do you have a bad back or something? Bars should be flat, with a maximum 5-degree bend - anything else is just wrong.

I could make a front-loading stem of course, but they're just so [i]ugly[/i] 😉

Was given a deep-fat fryer yesterday.

I'll post-up pics of my belly as and when I 'build' it...

Another Theoben cocking bolt

I've probably mentioned it before, but I used to make bits for Theoben, like the guide plate for that there bolt, and the receiver.

sbob....I make these with 1/4" UNF thread, but one guy I sold one to said it wouldn't fit his Rapid. Did they use any other thread size or pitch for the cocking bolts ? 😕

I'm afraid it's been too long for me to remember for certain, but with the exception of the threads for the mating sealed parts, all the threads on the Rapid 7 receiver were metric. 😕

So, I made a sort of peg spanner thing...

No, it's not a trick of the light. I've got pink hoses on my bike. 😀

MTG, I made a similar looking tool to lock the crankshaft pulley on my old Shogun. Rough and ready but did the job.
