  2. My Mill ... Inital ideas

    by on 23-01-2010 at 01:03 AM (My Trials & Tribulations)
    Well it's been a couple of weeks since my last post and not a lot has happened. My shed roof has developed a series of holes. If I didn't know better I would have said I have been strafed, actully it's mainly due to the effects of UV on the polycarb and the impact of fircones travelling at warp speed from their normal position waaay above the roof (the squirrels have a lot to answer for!!).

  3. Help help help !!!!!!!!!!!

    HI Guys,

    All things considered it will do for me ... and if I ever get a better one then it will make a great base for a Mill style machine.

    As requested ...

  5. Oh what folks throw out

    I am now the proud owner of a 4'X2' Surface Table ... On first inspection it is in OK condition, apart from the small craters in it where the previous owner had used it as a welding table. I have knocked off the very small bits of splatter with an old wood chisel. My best Spirit Level placed across it in all directions shows a few gaps but nothing I can get a 10 thou feeler gauge into. I am thinking about filling the craters with liquid metal and carefully knocking it back with wet & ...
