Another machine joins the stable...
awemawson:
Ade,
Glad to hear that it's an ongoing project and not abandoned :thumbup:
New job in the UK or China ?
AdeV:
New job in the UK... unfortunately it means a long-ish commute every day, but for close to double the money, it's worth it. 12-18 months there, then I'll look for something more convenient...
Biggles:
Nice one Ade, yes a "big impractical and daft to own machines" sub-club would be good. Just a suggestion, nock though into the kitchen if you are next door and you could have a his and hers with the kitchen sink in the middle! : :zap:

As you might have heard there’s a bit of weather happening here at 5he moment, said he happily laid on the bed typing on this iPad thing whilst looking out at the blizzard.
Might go to workshop later and turn up an oak platter I think . There’s method in this madness as oak platter ( to accommodate lemon drizzle cake) needs aforementioned cake to check it for size. Friends wife will then declare cake now surplus to needs !
Should I start the coffee maker before or after turning the platter ? Decisions, decisions....
Bring some useful bits back from China to test on the new gadget?
Have fun Ian
AdeV:
"A bit of weather" - it's not too bad over here on t'West coast (it was even warmer in China...), I painted the office on the weekend (1st coat), started the 2nd coat on Tuesday but the pipes froze so now I've no way of cleaning my brushes.... so painting is at a standstill until it thaws. Or i take a barrel home and fill it with water...
Watched a video on YT last night (this one, about heat pumps) and it got me thinking.... My AC unit has decided to break, just after having a £300 refill of gas, and the company I bought it off don't seem to give a stuff about fixing it, so I got to thinking of alternatives... and a largeish reversible heat pump struck me as being a possible answer.... In winter, the "cold" end of the heat pump would be outside, and the hot end inside, thus heating the workshop. In summer, turn it round so the indoor cold end provides air cooling.... Drive the whole thing with either an electric motor... or a 6hp diesel engine I happen to have knocking about... I might start a new thread for this...
