My day job has me making stuff for other people and i rarely have time,  motivation to build anything for myself .As i needed a pair of speaker stands ,with a bit of ducking and diving and my  lunch break ,I put these together

I kinda like them unpainted

Full swing into making shit for myself now,Needed a pair of pipe rollers ,not sure how long them bearing will last tho,i could always make better rollers later

I really enjoy machining and thinking about taking night classes to learn what tool does what

Standing in for the OP.

it catches the ash when you burn those incense sticks. (That stick in the first photo)

you know, so you can smoke weed in your room but still keep it smelling legal-as!

Shit!! I have a tabletop here for our entranceway and needed some legs. This is a perfect Idea

Yea so I have set up a budget recording studio in my shed, it works pretty well. I have been playing with getting a good sound when recording acoustic guitar. My main go to acoustic is a K. Yairi that I bought brand new in 1992. It has amazing looks, sound and playability, but access to the battery for the pickup has always been a drag, you have to loosen off the strings and get a fat hand in through the soundhole.

Also if it is left plugged in it will drain the battery.

So I ordered a Gotoh panel mount battery box and got to work. This was pretty scary as this guitar is pretty much my most prized possession.

 

All seems good. I added a switch to isolate the battery as well, so if I leave it overnight plugged in and set up it will still work the next day...

Yes. Only negative is that my knee regularly finds the pointy bit on the end of the cord guide.

An update on the bus/shed heater.

It is now powered by a 30A power supply, and the exhaust is extracted with a 150mm fan and ducting.

I got a whole lot of ducting leftovers for $60 off marketplace. The fan was a freebee from when I worked at a tech company in chch, they cleared the storage out and let us take what we wanted, I grabbed loads of shit. I still have boxes of ally brackets and bus bars in my container...

The fan is pulling right on that exhaust so I checked the temps while running it, it hits 43 degrees on high, 30 on low. That ducting isn't sealed so it is sucking air as well. The fan is a Pabst that is rated for 70+ deg so should be sweet.

Still need to mount the supply and an RCD in a box for safetys and cut a hole in the shed to waft the fumes out.

So today I turned this

So while I wait for the rest of the clock bits to turn up I will add a little bit of colour to it at some stage
