Steel pipe - scrap bus exhaust, perhaps?

Quality

Pleased you're sorted, vulgalour. In the meantime you've made me wonder if stove pipe can be had almost for free from a coach/truck dismantlers, at least for the workshop.

Just when you think you've seen everything, you go and cop a pic of BMW lamps looking quite at home in cookware. I reckon Dali would be chuffed.

I'd love to see vulg on a cookery program "right folks you will need a pair of 17cm cake tins, here's a hole I cut earlier, set your welder to wire speed 7, power setting 2 and insert the tins into the holes and add liberal lashings of weld"

Cake tins

 

well that kind of pisses on my parade, i rolled a bit of sheet up for you at work last night 

 

it still needs welding up and subsequent re-rounding - let me know if you are in need of it and i will finish it off

[vulgalour]

That's incredibly generous of you, Mel!  Would you mind being my back-up plan in case the cake tins go wrong for some reason?  Also, a second set of tubes would be handy for the second pair of rear lights I fancy fitting.  More is more.

[hairymel]

no problem angyl - i will fettle at a slightly less frantic rate . pm me your current address and i will post it to you when its done

[vulgalour]

Pm'd.  I'm hoping to get into the unit to try this out tomorrow.  Updates, if any, will be over on the Princess thread.

This place is what it used to be

tbh i believe Angyl and i were virtually acquainted by the blue forum, and i owe Angyl much mojo boost.

 

anyone else, i would probably have waited until desperation set in, before offering to help 

[vulgalour]

This is how I remember Mel.  One of my early forays into automotive watercolours back in 2011.  That car has an epic tale but sadly not a happy ending if memory serves.

Hey @hairymel, I haven't been over on the blue forum for a long time now, have you got a new workspace sorted now? Last time I was a regular on there was around the Gathering that had the tat auction raising funds for melty Toyotas and lost garages. 

 

Hope things have improved since!

[MikeKnight]

On the plus side if you end up not needing any more then Mel can make some cake tins.

[hairymel]

@ruffgeezer- I have been in my new workshop for about 2(!) years now and have another sunbeam shell awaiting some sort of effort being made

 

apart from having all our tools stolen a while ago all is good   

 

I still get a warm feeling inside thinking about the efforts made by strangers to make things better for us after the fire.

 

 

@MikeKnight just lol

In Aerospace terms that's NOT a pipe, it's a duct.

[vulgalour]

I'll probably regret this but... what's the difference?

[Dave_Q]

I'm gonna guess at something to do with the length needing to be x times the diameter to be a pipe.
