Can you fit a small TFT monitor (perhaps shorn of its plastic casing, at least around the edges of the screen) in there? Failing that... cup holders? So you can have a nice brew while the machine does the hard work? Hey, perhaps one of these would fit the hole? You'd probably need to make a sliding bracket to access the mug/fill with water1... hack the timer so that when there's X minutes left to run on the cycle (where X = however long it takes to make a cup of tea), it switches it on :lol: 1 Or just plumb it into the coolant system, for an automatic fill! Might make odd-tasting tea though... |

Nrml . As far as I can tell the tool changer noise is actually normal for the model. There is no way to re-grease it without a total strip down as there are no external points to introduce any lubrication. But at the moment I've been put on other jobs - rebuilding a totally useless rat eaten and rotten chicken shed on wheels that apparently has some sentimental value. My solution was a box of matches and a gallon of paraffin, but apparently that's not acceptable. I even had a builder lined up to put up a tasteful brick one to match the pig palaces, but that also was vetoed :bang: Timber shed - rat eaten in three years Brick equivalent = good for 25 years minimum . . . no contest, but then what do I know :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: |
