Dave, Turquoise!?!? I suppose that's meant to be one of them feminine shades I hear about? I'm thinking about using bold solid colours... you know, ones men can see! ::) John, --- Quote ---About bloody time you have been pissing about with this for ages, don't bother with the paint just get on with something. --- End quote --- Such eloquent use of the language :lol: Ralph. |

Cheers lads ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,It will be GRAY :D :lol: Well i have had a very slow couple of weeks ,,,,,,,,,naff all done really ::) ,,but i did make the splash back Not very interesting ,i no , just a bit of metal bending ,,,but the method of welding the parts together may be of interest to someone . Plug welded ........with the MIG welder ,,,,,just like a spot weld ,,, also good for fixing thin sheet to say heavy box section Here is how on a couple of scrap bit of sheet ,,, punch /drill hole in one part position and clamp parts together,,,,,,,,, position MIG touch over hole with wire in the centre of hole pull trigger " one elephant " release trigger you just want to fill the hole flush and a view of the back Cheers Rob Now to take Johns advice and do some thing :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Edit : any of you chaps have an 8" three jaw chuck going spare,not using as the 6" one on the lathe is a tad small :dremel: |

Rob. Nice job on the splash guard. I made one similar out of stainless steel and I was pleased with it but there was an unexpected factor with it, I found it captures light and bathes the back of my lathe making my sight a lot easier. Hope it has the same effect for you. Anthony. ::) |
