POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

Today i got up early and got straight to work. I carry in the spare parts in the shed, i made 2 more piles one for garbage and one for steel scrap. The garbage one is already bigger than steel scrap. Around mid day i already filled the shelves, bottom shelves are filled with the most heavy stuff uppers with light stuff. At that point i stopped the temp got up to 37 C, i'll continue tomorrow in the early morning.

Kind of looks like the garage GoceKU . :) I have to cut 3 lawns today between the thunderstorms and get back onto cleaning my "S" hole up . Aluminum everywhere I look , scrap on both trailers , can't walk in the garage as well as the driveway . This will be one long day . :grin:
 
I have two room in the big garage that are worse than this, but i dont have more space to move the parts out of there, so when i need something is a struggle to find it.
 
It's surprising how much staff you can store if you go vertical in storage. The side shelves are not organised, and one is broken. I'll take my time on them and organizing them, that should let me have some more space to bring some more junk from the garage. I have a Fiat 600 D in the garage sitting as an unfinished project, that i'm thinking of taking on this winter, but the parts are all over the place. If i get the place clean up and have time i'll like to get back to my roots and finish that project.

I use pneumatic push buttons to activate the power draw bar on my mill. Well one of the button sections broke due to it being plastic. So hey I'll try and make a replacement. Nothing to loose. I had already bought a replacement. So now i have a backup.1.jpg

That should hold up for quite a while, unless you're activating the button with a sledge hammer. :grin:

Nice job.
 
Made another arbor washer. For a paying customer :D
Customer wanted it .30 thick. I hit .2995 so I feel good about that!
Very happy with the finish. The last facing pass on the bevel side was done at the slowest power cross feed speed my lathe can manage and it left a beautiful finish.

Today i finished reorganising the shed, Started with the heavy stuff, like rear axles, gearboxes and finished with liter stuff like rims. I also sweep the sidewalk in the first picture and desposed off the empty boxes. There is still some space in that shed but i still have about 10 wheels that need to be taken apart and i may want to keep the rims from them. Its been hard but satisfying work this couple of days.
