Morning all eye is tired this morning, not a sound here either which is nice fink the birds have slept in too.
Cool start with a wee breeze that will keep the midges away. :vb-tup:
More slabbing today need to find a jointing compound for indian sandstone, mine are buff but all different colours.
Loads on the market not sure which to buy :stars: probably a brush in one I aint spending a week wiv a jointing trowel lol

The stuff we used last summer has stopped a load of the weeds, but not all. But then it wasn't put down along with the slabs.
I'd be very tempted to put bleach down first then the jointing sand on top. Ours is very fussy about how much water goes on it and it then doesn't like to be rained on for quite a while.
It's a frog make I think, without looking at the bag, and Flipping expensive too. €60 a bag. Neutral grey / white colour.
Best of luck wiv it!;):)
 
And today we played with the electric-glue-stick and the angry pixies. :)
Then we lathed the drive-plate assembly to withing an inch of its life.
Then we inserted studs and cut them off to length, then we trimmed 'tother end to provide just enough thread protruding on the other side to put some fancy Stainless acorn-nuts on for S's & G's. :)
It looks like this.

I noticed that the trimming of the threaded centre boss/nut had perhaps introduced some hair-fine swarf into the threads and what had always been easy to do up/undo became a real challenge.:eek:
I managed to undo it and washed it out and then ran the tap through it a few times to clear the threads. All is OK again. :D

Thanks @My Old Landy - Much appreciated.
Of course I have no idea if it will work ok or just fail on the first outing. But I think it will take a fair amount of torque to shear 5 4mm stainless steel pins all at once and there will be a single driving roll-pin at the other end of the axle. :)
