Caught up to date with me grounds keeping this morning, ahead of the biblical flood which is supposed to be here now. But isn't. And collected new taps from scroofix (got to go back tomorrow for some fittings which are on 24-48 hour delivery). This week is sorting out kitchen & bathroom taps, bog cistern, loft tank valve and maintenance at the sis in l laws gaff. Checked it over yesterday and reckon only the taps need sorting. I HATE changing bath taps in confined spaces :(. But its gotta be done :rolleyes:.
 
Had a bit of a session today in the workshop :)
Short video of a new 50mm import face cutter. I also made a drawbar so I could secure it as it had a metric thread. I screwcut the M12 on my imperial lathe @DanClarke you really need to give it a go!

One day I shall. Honest!
I am still not getting "part-offs" happening, let alone screw-cutting. ;)
I think it is due to it being a "baby-lathe" and not a "big-boy's" lathe. It lacks rigidity and it is a bit underpowered at 600W. But its better than no lathe at all. :D
 
Phew, had me a bit rattled there! :D

Well that went quite well. Drilled out the old rivets, old cap came oft nice an easy.
Offered up the new one an all the rivet holes lined up. Gonna look nice, I thought.
Cept I then realised the holes for the lights were smaller than on the original :oops:
