Hi all,, i had to get rid of my 626 milling machine this year as i needed the space in the shed.

VM28H it is a rebadged Weiss machine with uppy downy motor drive plus side to side motor
drive....Plus it runs on ball screws so it will help with my Arthur-rite-us :lol: Trouble is i am

Hi folks,

The week begins on the Frank steam Cleaner which now has a fully functioning water pump, now that I have discovered that water does not flow uphill! the burner needs setting up, all the circuit mods I did ages ago are working, but the burner is poor and smoky, which is down to poor fuel atomisation due to low delivery pressure at the pump regulator, I see a 0-200 psi gauge on my shopping list! All was going well Thursday, I was happily strimming away whilst Keith was grass cutting, and then he drove over to me holding half the mower blade in his hand!  We eventually got it fixed as the blade is a long obsolete pa! Video goes live at 4-00pm BST

Phil, in mellow fruitful East Yorkshire!

Hi folks,
We get a load more work in the field completed, in fact, further than we have ever got before at this time of year! I strip the hot wash pump, and make a cock up putting it back together! I will have it right!! With lots of Fordson Major action! Rain stopped play late Friday afternoon with only another hours work left!
Phil, getting worked up in East Yorkshire!

This Cromwell smallpeice lathe  is for sale in West  London  at a very good price considering the reputation that they have.

Been a while for me too....In fact a general absence for me from other 'boards' too..

Not a lot happening workshop wise either, just a lack of enthusiasm..Loss of a couple of loved ones has sort of killed the 'fire'...
Trying to enjoy life with family in between times....

Once this year is out things might change...one can only hope...

So to y'all out there take care...

Been a while since I last strolled around here.  Enjoying retirement and the car, in the workshop most weeks making Odd's and sods to fix, bodge or otherwise hold the universe together.

Hi folks,
We start the week with the cleanup after the Wicani Jamboree, the marquee comes down, and all the stuff is put away till next year. Then its back on to field maintenance, removal of some dead Elder trees, some canopy lifting, and a general tidy up of what is virtually the last area of undergrowth that we are going to clear! We stand in danger of finishing all the field work for the year! Video goes live at 4pm BST!
Phil, feeling a bit backendish in East Yorkshire!

Hi folks, A bit of a different week this week, all concerning preparing the "estate" for the annual Wicani Jamboree, a get together of rough Colley breeders and showers from all over Europe who descend on Langtoft to talk and view dogs! Like preparing for Glastonbury, only much smaller and much less well staffed!! Enjoy! This video will go live at 4-00pm BST!

Been a minute since I updated this thread, there have been some changes and will be more. As you may or may not know, I bought myself a Christmas present last year.  I got a P1S/AMS combo during Bambu Labs end of year sale.  The Package Handling Gorillas managed to bust the door during shopping, but Bambu replaced it so no problems.  Gotta tell ya, I am REALLY liking this printer a lot.  Even in the "Standard speed" print mode it's almost 4 times faster than my D6 was, with a LOT higher quality prints - even with the 0.2mm layers I normally use. 

The house is gettin' some love this year too, an attached garage and much more.  An upgraded electrical feed for the house, going from a 60A feed to 100A.  The unusable 2nd floor widow's walk is now a 2nd floor sun-room.  The 2nd floor is getting new windows.  And the crappy old stucco on the 2nd floor is being stripped off, insulation added, and it is being resided to match the garages.

I WILL be getting back to the RT7R, but it will be a complete reprint using the P1S this time - and using PETG instead of PLA.  The P1S has a larger print volume than the D6.  So I might be able to print the dump bed at an angle for higher strength. and in 2 parts instead of 3.  The same applies for the cab.  I may be able to print that at an angle and reduce the number of parts.
