What are you up to in the workshop?

[JohnBoy]

You may paint the floor now !!

I'm actually thinking about it. Part of it is unpainted and is to become exposed in an upcoming cabinet reshuffle. but I don't know if theres much point, look how much of the original paint has been scratched off. a painted floor and fabrication arent a great combo.

Spent a massive 20mins in the workshop today making a outdoor feeder for the nag. It's very agri spec but with some finer refinements be worth a little cash in the pocket turner.

 

[Mid cork]

Fitted a hose reel to the power washer today, something I have been meaning to do with years. Them hoses are hell to tidy up without a reel.

She’s only for recreational purposes! The brother about fifteen years ago delivered a load of straw up to North Cork and he came back with it on the trailer.

What is the gearbox from originally ,?

A Taarup double chop, it is 540 so it about doubles the speed.

I knew I had often seen one like it , but it wouldn't come to me whereabouts.

I'm confused.

Pics are a bit fuzzy. is it a double extending gate? or an extending gate that had a section cut off?

Yea! It was a bit insensitive from him, I was thinking of coming out of the closet.

[Bog Man]

Replaced the outside ring on the DD packer and put bearings on it. The other side was done in 2019 . The crane on the Volvo is a gift and I used a pulley block for the final small movements to get it lined up.

Its It's a double extending gate. Camera is shite on my phone, here's some off another phone.

@Bog Man is there much drama doing them? are they under a spring pressure?

@Deerehunter nice, how are you notching your tubes?

3 cuts with the angle grinder.

3 cuts with the angle grinder.

Whats the 3rd cut for , or where ?

That should be a very handy gate ,
In odd situations.

Is it a bit wiggly , with the double extension?

1 cut across the pipe then a bevel cut on each side to notch it.
It's for the cubicle shed, it's to close against an end wall of cubicle when not in use but open out to two different width passages.
Only made the latch today so not hung yet but doesn't seem to wrigglely. I've stops in the tubes to stop it opening apart, so they're tightening it up also.

The nuts are very long so by the time they are loose a lot of pressure let off . The old one was starting to collapse so a bit of pressure let off . Apparently some other ones need a cage to hold them and are lethal.

 

[scoffcruddle]

What size pipes did you use .

At a guess 60mm then 48mm then 32mm.

Scoff has the sizes right!!
