...that today was a mixed bag of results, some good, some not so good.
Firstly I had a go at making a seam remover for some 38mm Square tube I want to slip inserts into.
The idea is that a "carrier slug" of the required insert tube size is prepared so that it will hold a piece of HSS tool-steel in position exactly where the weld seam is located.
A cap on this insert has a captive nut welded onto it and a length of "all-thread/studding" is used to pull the carrier through the outer tube and scrape off the protruding weld-seam.
Here is the insert carrier with the slot that the tool-steel rests up against.
This next picture just shows the slug inserted into the outer tube. It is in the vise only because I ran out of hands to hold things to take the picture.
Did it work? I hear you asking.
Well, Yes & No.
Yes it worked and removed several inches of the weld seam.
But then... it got stuck partway through the tube and the forces proved too much for the M10 studding and it snapped just where the welded on nut was applying the turning force against the friction in the set-up.
The outer tube was almost HOT to the touch, so there was considerable friction forces in there. and TBH I am not surprised M10 snapped (it is a little light for the job).
So, we have parked that while we go get some heavier gauge thread & nuts and we will have another go later.
Next up was a "trial fit" onto the Python Trike of a rack that I had made for an earlier trike (WD II). It was made of 12mm Square tube (mostly) and was exceptionally strong.
I will fit the rack to the seat support spar using the existing Seat-mounting fixing point at the top and I will create a new fixing point lower down on the spar for the bottom end of the rack.
Unfortunately I have run out of 10mm round tube so I will need to get some. As little as 1 Metre should do it.
That is all.

They were very quick and offered to pick it up and deliver a new one on the same day. I really can't be bothered to take the wheels back off and repackage it as it works fine.Don't divulge the pics of the scratched paint.

Solicitors are annoying. You don't hear anything for weeks then a few questions with no acknowledgement of your replies. If I had worked like that the customer would have, quite rightly, jumped right down my throat!!

Guid afternoon
Sunny day
Son's SQA results dropped thro the letterbox followed swiftly by a text from Glasgow University confirming his acceptance, Computing Science.
He starts 12th Sept and good news as no Halls of Residence costs as its a 15 min bus ride from home.
Wife just gave him £1500.00 for a laptop that she had promised if he got in, so hes off to the Apple store to see whats available.
I've applied for a job with the Council, but will probably not get it as not politically correct enough, but it demonstrates to the Social that I am trying so validates my Job Seekers Allowance.
So happy days this end,
I went for a job as a binman years ago but I really wanted into the garage as a grease monkey as I
knew there was a managers job coming up later in the year so it was a matter of getting in then, get
the job internally anhoo I didnt get the rubbish job as I was over qualified.

They can be worse than that.
Back in the 80s we were in a chain that totally collapsed because on the day of exchange, a Friday, one of the solicitors in the chain for some reason went home early and didn't do his bit.

The stupid thing is you cannot sue them after something like that as they close ranks and no one will take on the case.They can be worse than that.
