Todays Project - What did you do today?

[f350ca]

Too hot for us northern folk, 33 deg celsius so I retreated to the machine shop, 20 deg there.
Finished up this bracket, adaptor plate and clamps for a fellow. He plans to use this with the compound off his lathe do do some light milling.


Then made a rocker arm bolt for a Chinese engine on a generator. The chap who needed it claims they aren't available. Sorry no picture.

Then started making up a set of block and tackle for Charlie, he wants it to tension a cable for running his camera on. Interesting note, had some old aluminum angle, was using a hole saw to cut out the blanks for the shivs, I've always used WD40 for cutting fluid on aluminum, but DR B had a 45 gallon barrel of kerosine so I took a couple of gallons figuring thats what is recommended for aluminum. The hole saw kept loading up and welding globs on the teeth with the kerosine, switch back to my usual WD40 and got nice clean cuts. HUM.
