Good evening my trusty 12 readers :thumbs:

 

I hope you are all well on this cold and damp evening.

 

So a catch up on the week to get us going..........................

 

Finished the other shelf

Spent 2 hours cutting the middle legs off - the reason may become apparent later in the build, then got it level.

 

I bought 2 yes 2 digital levels :thumbs:

Yes it's later @andybp  :lol:  If you're that bored you could reply to my pm ;)

 

Nice @andy james :thumbs:

 

So this is the next on the list -

 

IMG_2575.jpg.0e66a98a41fcbfd376a7323a394b0fb2.jpg

 

I got this rotary table with my milling machine and have used it twice, the problem is that it is hard to use and the shaft is bent so it keeps sticking and it takes about an hour to do a full rotation using the handle :lol:

 

Anyway I put the shaft in the lathe to bring it back to true,

 

IMG_2578.jpg.d97aea9b26d75bc883c69b226c360cea.jpg

 

put a new thread on the end

 

IMG_2579.jpg.97b3f44f05a6d69ed297f329d60c52c3.jpg

 

Found this - I think it's a brake piston from a metro :shrug: anyway it made a good pulley :)

 

IMG_2577.jpg.3157faa295634bb50df411616d59ffc3.jpg

 

Made another pulley from some bar stock

 

IMG_2580.jpg.7a6052071f1deb48d2e28fa2e021c3fb.jpg

 

Then added a windscreen wiper motor

IMG_2584.jpg.54f9b207d5b699776d25888a9ff803a3.jpg

 

It's fab isn't it?

 

I thought I'd test it before adding a speed controller - works well, here's a little vid

 

 

:lol:  I Love it :lol:

 

Random picture of a foot for @mattross1313

Here's a shocker for you - work on the Pop :scare:

 

Started by bolting the jig I made from @Beb 's car to the chassis rails

 

IMG_2589.jpg.af864e5f5de99ece40418b6fd8cb50c8.jpg

 

Cut some metal up

 

IMG_2590.jpg.1cb209b76b347e38b764d9b01da511bf.jpg

 

made my first 2 upper control arm mounts

 

IMG_2591.jpg.80e5170e01dbbf8a7a56b3c8477ef906.jpg

 

IMG_2592.jpg.80e6abcd0c1d97977e847ecb4b282aa1.jpg

 

Then made a top plate

 

IMG_2596.jpg.688a3d00ec748f79539ab1ca8698d4ba.jpg

 

 

IMG_2595.jpg.fcd0436d00ac615d5a95d446f67aa2a8.jpg

 

 

Those that read the Rotary table post above will have noticed the original top mount being cut up like so

 

IMG_2598.jpg.b2dee8ebc383f96cbb1e3d6bb2912164.jpg

 

 

IMG_2599.jpg.67a4fb6f3b9af014f44632900a6b7dea.jpg

 

Then the new top mount

IMG_2601.jpg.053ceeffd6349af679f335e3df8655eb.jpg

 

With a bit of welding and sanding the two became one

 

IMG_2603.jpg.41403406b7dfd43d355e7a319d1f551f.jpg

 

IMG_2602.jpg.09ea644cfdc4b8f98862eb75f7c532bd.jpg

 

The plate was then trimmed to a sensible size

 

IMG_2604.jpg.423d5bb222591dc25be30e5382ab46ba.jpg

 

I said to Mrs Keyser "It looks OEM" she said "only if OEM means Over Engineering Maniac" - Not sure how to feel about that :shrug::lol:

 

anyway between that and the rotary table build that's all I had time for today :( Left it here

IMG_2605.jpg.189a36abe9fb638c90bd4cd1934d3c6f.jpg

 

More tomorrow (as soon as I sneak out of the shopping trip to Ikea :scare::ninja::lol:
