New build for shop system

[AngrySailor]

Small end bearings were the initial failure, broken skirt finished things. Small ends are rough, if they can’t be honed clean at a reasonable size the crank needs to be pressed apart and rods replaced. Hard to find parts for these vintage sleds!

Should have been a 5 note Leslie at 160 psi....

Shouldn’t have done that. Now he’s going to waste a full roll of paper cleaning his drawers...

He’s a good friend but his wife is a quiff. Last time I interacted with her I called her “Ms. Piggy” and honestly, it suits her. We made sure he had a safe ride home to her, his condition was not something she’ll be happy about though! I always tell visitors “you are your OWN liquor control board”.

In case anyone was wondering... he was “self isolating” in the box.

"Self isolating" can be comforting at times....

Three are boxes now. No bracing in these yet. Will have all 4 assembled and start bracing the other three this evening.

Them big boxes are a lot of work..

Them big boxes are a lot of work..

I bought 3 lbs of screws, went back for another 3lbs, bought 5 lbs today... might have enough now. Crazy how much layout and pre drilling the bracing requires.

Broke a pilot/countersink bit and the battery drill just died. Time for a speaker lubricant break!

 

[laatsch55]

Oh yeah!!

 

[AngrySailor]

Oh yeah!!

Got the bottom level of bracing all glued and screwed in another. That’s what takes the most time. I think production is over for the night! Trever is feeling no pain and Darcy might have a nap in the cabinet..
