Boat part, replacing the mechanical fuel pump with an electric, so instead of buying a $15 plate I decided to make far less than minimum wage.
I may be able to weld on a bracket and mount the pump off of this, so there is some value.
Then for fun... A friend of mine facebook posted an image of his improvised seed depth gauge (screwdriver and masking tape). As an owner of machine tools, I had an obligation - nee a duty, not to let that imprecision stand. Spent the rest of the day on seed depth gauge for him. The adjustment rod is threaded 10-32
yielding a pleasingly excessive number of turns to reach desired depth setting. One cannot skimp on fine adjustment dealing with seeds. Currently there are lines cut only every .5" which worries me, I feel more precision is warranted - I'll add more marks tomorrow.
