What did you build this week?

It's high enough off the ground to be thoroughly frightening to get in, yet surprising comfortable once you do.

Still gotta figure out a tarp/ rain fly, but that should be simple enough

All this time you've been talking about a camper and a motorhome... dude, where are you going to put the coffee pot, the cook stove, the two-way refrigerator, the propane tanks?
 
we may have to get him one of those grabber things you see on tv

and at his age
 
That, my friend, is brilliant. Bravo!

Still on the telescopekick. Made a little guy out of an old 38mm lens from a slide projector. Still have to paint flat black inside, and polish outside. Why telescopes? Because now I have a lathe and their round lol.

Getting a rack for the Yoda finished up. Increase hauling capacity for Barber.

Cooked up these spring perches that allow standard 1 7/8” springs to be used on RFY shocks. Pretty happy with them.

New wide bamboo ply fenders for the bamboo bike as it's getting wetter and I've put the winter commute tyres on

Almost done. Negatory on the hammock. Full size mattress, yes.

Built myself a new ride.
Bloody hard to get done one handed but there is stage 1.

Had the stepson help me build his new bike.
After paint he was way to excited to get it together and didn't want to paint the wheels. His bike so I let him go at it.

Man, those are freakin' AWESOME!
 
Thanks mate. I was inspired by Redbird's awesome bike. I still have 1 more to build for the missus, hard to pull a bike apart 1 handed though.

Here is how they started. Mine was originally covered in plastidip and was a pain to remove. Had no seat or bars so I chucked them on there for a before shot.

The stepson's was a mish mash of parts and most of the cables were joined with electrical clamps.

After 12 years in the hobby, I'm un-building the aquarium. Life is just getting too complicated to look after it the way I need to, so it's time to let it go.
(The water is so dirty because I shot it right after evacuating the fish, uprooting the surviving plants and dredging the substrate)

That's a cool horizontal aquarium, I didn't even know that existed. It's odd that the water has an invisible vertical wall, truly messes with the eyes.

Cool! I have always wanted one.

They're a lot of fun, but it gets expensive real fast!

All polished now

Mounting it to the wall was the hardest part: 125 gallons weighs a lot!
 
Not quite done yet, still have a bit of finish welding to do but this is what I built this week:

New table and fixtures for my robotic welding setup in the metal shop. This should increase output considerably as well as expand to a new size product.

3.5" steel plate with 260 3/4" bores and 260 1/2" bores.
