Hi Jim, First time watching. Was commenting to myself while watching about your cad design, a piece of paper. Plasma table, a hack saw, end mill, file. By the way, draw filing naughty naughty. Then you bring out the big gun's Tig welder, drill press, and a lathe. what else have you got hiding in your shed. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
I’m tempted to say g’day sport, but that’s probably verging on being offensive these days. Plasma table? milling machine? Are you reading my wish list?! I’m sure you can tell that I’m somewhat limited for space. Having recently bought a house on the outskirts of London, our budget meant car/workshop space is at a minimum. I had to take the kids trampoline down to get space for the car! They didn’t really use it anymore…. I’m used to having access to much better facilities than I have now, all the hand stuff is not entirely by choice! Btw, what’s wrong with draw filing? Cheers and thanks for watching (and commenting).
@@jiminycricket9877 Hi Jim, Takes more than G'day sport to offend me. I have watched more of your videos and can tell you are a very clever chap. They are on my wish list as well. It is good to see old school hand tools in use. Draw filing was frowned upon in trade school in my youth. Don't really remember why. That was a long time ago. Keep going and growing your channel. Cheers mate 👍
Thanks very much. It’s a Stahlwerk 200amp job I’ve had for about 8 years now. It really isn’t the best but it does the job. It cost about £800 (bought it when I sold my three phase migatronic) but an equivalent machine is £250-300 now. Basically, any AC/DC tig (I’d say 200A minimum) will do the same job mine does. I would definitely recommend getting a foot pedal though, it makes life SO much easier. Cheers, and thanks again for the kind words.
Procrastinators t-shirt…. Amazing

Brilliant video again.
What model of tig are you using for your welding? As looking for one that will do aluminium?
Many thanks

Interesting video, what bushes did you use for the mount? I need to do something for the mounts on my 106 maxi, the standard ones are way too bulky!
They’re locost (kit car) suspension bushes. Have a look on eBay.
Glad you found it interesting!
Cheers.
