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

[brino]

So, in the shop here, aside from completely destroying my truck to get it fixed...

Wait, what was the intent?

Sure, that truck has no interior or dash, but the last time I had to strip one down that far was the heater core...... was that your goal too?
I am sure that a heater is required in Michigan!

Yesterday was christmas here, so happy christmas to those that celebrate it at this date. After a full day of rest i decided i need to make a bench to leave in the cemetery at my mothers grave. So i look thru my square tubing and found couple of pieces that will work. Also i send my father to go and buy a wooden board for the top. A made two A structures and welded couple of tubes in between them, then used 6 stainless steel bolts to bolt down the wood and sanded it smooth in place. i also paintet it with quick drying paint. Then i took it there.

Crafts for the daughter . Cut quite a few Grey Goose bottles with the bottle cutter last night . Today will be be cutting wood bases ( round and square ) for something else she is making . Hopefully , she'll spend an hour or so to learn how to work the saws safely .

Pulled one of the Wire EDM circulation pumps to rebuild the pump section while the motor gets new bearings. Doing this at home today to be ready Monday morning to get the EDM up and running.

The screen was half plugged of course. Removed the 4 straps, the motor coupler and the drive pin. Pull the stack off and replace the seals. 2 rings and seal. Cleaning the reused parts and reassemble. The shaft has a little wear and now that cleaned it will likely leak of course! One tip is to soak the new paper gasket in water to make it swell a bit. Makes it easier to slip it on the housing.

I did make a holder for my insert 90° shoulder endmill ( free gift ) out of junkyard steel and I might have issues at milling given my mill head isn't trammed. On visual, the runout seems to be okay. But the surface contains multiple steps according to my finger test, but the finish is kinda decent for me.

I made this puzzle from a YT video I saw. I had to play with the dimensions a bit to get a tight fit of the 10 pennies when arranged the correct way.
