    Drummond lathe

    I think it could be printed. but would take a few iterations to get it to fit well. Not sure what this gear does on the lathe. If it was just used to move the apron by hand, it might work for a while. The fact that the gear failed in the way it did, suggests it's under quite a bit of load, so a...

    INTERLINKED SMOKE AND HEAT ALARMS

    In Scotland they are compulsory now. I have had interlinked alarms for about 10 years, would never be without them now. Having a heat alarm in the kitchen. You don't get nuisance triggering, but to get triggering, there needs to be a large source of heat. I'm sure the temperature at the sensor...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    I used Inkscape for several years to produce manufacturing drawings for various projects when I was employed. The company only used open source and free software. Inkscape drawing tools are a bit 'strange' to use, especially drawing curves. The click, drag, then right or left click, I find...

    I'm not adept. I am just stubborn as hell when it comes to software. I will not be beaten by any software when I am motivated to learn it. Getting the motivation is key to learning. In my case, I wanted to make something for my Myford ML7. I knew what I wanted to make, so I found tutorials here...

    Bargain planer

    Some things to think about:- You will need to check the rpm required, probably about 3000, so a 2 pole motor. Cap start, Cap run. You will need to get a suitable pully for the motor. Not sure if it's normally a 1:1 ratio? You need to think about the motor mounting, but since you aren't...

    Hi Joe, welcome to the forum. If you are a Wales supporter, well done for qualifying for the world cup.... I'm not a football supporter, but it's great to see Wales qualify. Which parts are you looking for?

    Interesting flight over the Black Sea

    it's still there. Apparently it can stay up for more than 34 hours and can 'see' over 200 miles all around. From where it is, it can monitor everything that's going on in the north west of the black sea and the coast of Ukraine. Looks like it's keeping monitoring the coast and sea around Odesa.

    Hello from Devon

    Welcome to the forum. Every shed you ever build will be too small. They are like an anti-Tardis. They look huge from the outside, but when you go inside, it's tiny. Time stops when you go inside!!

    Fuel costs

    I remember using outside toilets when I was young. A small wooden shed with a hole in the seat, newspapers and a pail . In winter, it was freezing, as the cold wind whistled between your legs. In summer, the smell and flies!!! I'm very happy to be soft.

    Tricel-Novo-Sewage-Treatment-Plant

    Sorry, can't offer any advice, but good luck with all of that!! Hopefully the filter is in a 'clean-ish' part of the system. I had to supervise my daughter's tank being emptied. I was gagging within 30 seconds :LOL: :LOL:. The guy that did it wasn't even wearing gloves and was getting some of...
