Random slightly cool stuff you built but not worth its own thread, thread

[Beaver]

Made this for mi'lady. its pretty big (1200x500) so quite heavy. Hope it doesn't rip the wall down haha

(P.S. Its Mt Ruapehu)

 

[Bistro]

[Steelies]

choice beave. clouds are mint!

 

also, as per last page, junkyard optimus would be cool

[mutiny]

made this lightbox for my mrs to trace up tattoos and the like. total cost all in 20 bucks, goes hard for what it is. need to whip the back off and tidy up the leds but probably wont

 

 

 

[Testament]

finally made up a couple of outdoor tables I had been meaning to make for ages, one for home and one for family place up north. mostly leftover decking timber from dads projects and some pipe leftover from some work job years ago plus a bit of SS square tube.

was some good tig practice and then suffering through drilling a million holes in stainless lol. only one broken drill so not too bad really

I think there is a bit more decking leftover up north I need to nab to make some bench seats but that can wait till next year now

The evolution of my no electricity espresso machine for the bus;

V1 - I had to use a camping stove to heat this one due to the height of the mini keg I used as a pressure vessel. This was fine apart from it sounded like a rocket for the duration of the heating;

V2 is a lot sexier, I used the top of the mini keg cos it had all the fittings ready to go. This is a standard 115mm to 76mm SS pipe adaptor and some 76mm pipe. I still need to sort the sealing on the steam wand a wee bit but it works pretty well on a gas stove top...

[AllTorque]

Please bring to wagnats and make us coffee in the morning. 

[Yowzer]

And run it on a log

 

[ThePog]

Unfortunately I am unlikely to come to wagnats, or in my case busnats.

I should call my bus 'Buster Nut'

V1 is awesome in a steampunk kind of way, but damn, V2 looks so refined it legit could be some fancy high cost coffee maker. Very nice.

Cheers, even my wife liked the look of it, she usually tuts when I show her my latest madness.

I have now added a couple of grab handles and cleaned the welds. I will sort the steam wand today if I get a chance..

[datlow]

When the impending baby needs a rocker.... and all you can find is some solid bar and hardwood offcuts

[Rupertg]

When the baby needs a cot and all you can find is a couple sheets of ply, a cad package and a friend with a cnc router...

[Kimjon]

Stands for a grinder and a linisher:

Welded up out of left over bits...

And painted

Better than paying about $150 each.

Another random project, an office for my wife.
