NickJ Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Really wish half the "Engineers" I come across would spend a week with you (but you don't want this) What you achieve with basic tooling they spend weeks trying to draw with every CNC under the sun at their disposal. Very simple work holding and robust strategies, such a pleasure to read and follow. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Considering I was told by a lead engineer that you couldn't tap a thread from the other side of a piece, because it would be a reverse thread, I think it's too far gone Anyway, have you considered vw beetle parts 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to take a trip to a steam museum/menz shed/barry haunt and drop that one into conversation. Just keep a straight face and insist its correct. Watch their faces to red. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Love these updates, always plenty of swarf and metal glue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 ..and swarf in the workshop downstairs equates to swarf upstairs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoom Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I keep tracking swarf from the garage to the house because I never quite get around to sweeping. But I've discovered wiring brushing the soles of my shoes is quite effective at dislodging it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 We have a strict shoes off policy for heading upstairs (although half our visitors don't wear shoes, because tasman) I still manage to find the odd bit of swarf, the worst place is in bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitesseEFI Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Very classy work on the inlet and fuel rail - as expected from this artisans workshop Done a few fuel rails myself, but never a side feed….. in fact I don’t remember seeing anyone do one before. Came out very nicely. Swarf….. have to be careful about that. If I bring it in the house I’ll find myself living in the workshop!

flyingbrick Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Any and all swarf in our garage ends up in our house. They are still the same thing. Fml. Love the updates tho man. Edit. It's damn cool how you are able to successfully use many different methods of doing stuff and you know when to use each one and when not to. I admit, my first thought when I saw the scalloping of that tube was OMG ITS GOING TO BANANA WHEN HE WELDS IT HOWS HE GOING TO STOP THIS and then you bust out the silver solder and I'm like "argh, genius" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tig skills on small steel/stainless work is still not very flash. I'm glad that when the time comes to weld my exhaust manifold at least it'll be hidden from view 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
