Made a stand for my bench top sandblast cabinet.

......... and there he goes.





.... looks good by the way, and a little less open floor space staring you in the face every time you are out there......

If you look carefully you'll see he's neglected to paint the stand the same shade of blue as the cabinet. I'd say just plain sloppy work.

Big moment in the shop tonight.
Fired up the CB360T for the first time.
Needs a bit of tuning but considering it hasn’t run since 1987 it’s not too bad.

Did a quick job for a neighbour.
Delrin, 2" OD, ~3" long with 1" bore, 2-1/2" deep
Had a scant 6" length and needed two 3"ish long parts.

Faced one really crooked off square end, ended up with 5-7/8"
Sliced in half at 2-15/16"
Faced and chamfered the blank end.
Flipped in the chuck, faced and centre drilled .
Used a 15/16" Deming drill to remove the bulk of material.
Used boring bar to bring to 1" ID bore.
Eased the edges.
Done

In the mid 80’s Al in our group of British bikes had a 360.
One ride he went in front of us and tried to piss on us standing on his pegs it turns out that wind thing is correct.
Never piss in the wind.
