djoptix Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I made a thing. A friend of mine has some crazy brackets to hold his curtains on the wall. ...but they've got bent because he has a toddler. He was looking for recommendations for a fabricator. He'd made a plan and everything!... I ordered some 5mm x 50mm flat bar and successfully made them. I was using gasless wire so the welds are pretty splattery but I'm pleased with the result. Remspoor, BeEP, LightBulbFun and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're local and have kids I'd recommend it when it reopens. It's one of those places where you pay for admission once and then you can keep going back for a year for free. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car was immaculate, she was removing the plugs, plug leads, vacuum hoses etc and cleaning them, replacing where needed. Loads of tools in her crammed but very tidy garage. She had been given a bit of a run around at a dealer and resorted to doing her own servicing, hasn't changed the oil yet and mentioned ramps so had a bit of a chat about trolley jacks and ramps, also Pela pumps and the like. Seemed a clued up woman, probably late thirties early forties and sceptical of Halfords and the like. Iranian I think, not that that matters but nice to see her digging in. paulplom, Tickman, LightBulbFun and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 After 4 years and 2 months of ownership, the wife finally got inside the Sierra. Not only that, she drove it as I was doing a 5 car shuffle (not a euphemism). A few minutes later... This came just a few minutes before she nearly took the front wall out with the grey grille as she’d not thought through the potential impact of maximum choke, medium strength and minimum PAS. She then soiled herself trying to brake as the carpet under the lower dash is falling down. Very amusing all told, 9/10 would recommend.
