Today I didn't have a good start,
Feeling rough with colon cramps.
Got #MakersHour questions sorted,
Then scheduled them.
Decided on a rest day,
And sat watching videos and reading.
That is about it,
Not a lot else happened.
Oh, I did fall asleep,
But only for less than an hour.
Back to work in the morning,
So giving in to sleepiness.
Amser gwely,

Have you tried following #makershour? On Thursdays at 8 pm GMT ( I think) but also mirrored 12 hrs later. I pretty consistent group of folk who make all kinds of things. Pleasant community to follow. See @MakersHour for weekly questions.

7: Verglasung restlicher Flächen
Am Freitag kamen endlich die Polycarbonatplatten an. Heute haben wir sie montiert – so sieht das Ganze jetzt fertig aus. Es fehlen nur noch ein paar Details wie eine Regentonne und die Beleuchtung.

First coat of danish oil done. Second coat will have to wait until tomorrow.

I wrote a blog post about building a small portable apartment scale workbench. Might be of interest to people here.

I need to let the glue go off fully and then I can put some danish oil on it.

Today I felt better,
So loaded up some tools.
We went to the community workshop,
Via shopping at The Range and Lidl.
It was really warm again today,
Such a change from yesterday.
I finished building the swing out board storage (see video),
And was happy it worked.
It was really awkward to install,
What with all the stacked wood in the way.
After lunch I modified a kitchen drawer,
The back was too low.
Then I did some TIG welding,
It is so much cleaner than MIG (Throw molten metal everywhere!) welding.
Did caretaking,
And all the bins at work.
Settled down to #MakersHour,
And felt so much brighter and more active through it.
Tired out now,
As I should be.

I bought a pack of cheap (stainless steel? They have never rusted.) filler knives, like these. and they were so nasty I cut myself on the burrs on the edges getting them out of the packet.
They sat unused for a while.

Then I drew on some shapes, long triangles, tear drops, rounded points, etc. and cut them out with an angle grinder.

I sanded all the edges smooth and rounded them over so they were safe and smooth.
Sometimes I can two slipped into a gap in a thing, and then push a screwdriver between them for extra leverage without damaging the appliance.

They get used a lot, and lent out a lot....
....And I need to make some more soon.

I'll edit in a photo of the ones I have left, in a mo, They are in the workshop.

Photos edited in: These are the ones I have left, mostly they were random (this could be useful) shapes. And I also have 3 stainless steel guitar plectrums from when I used to play.
