is it common?

Like THIS.

I did that for a selection of senders. I tested them at the same time as well as having a PT100 sensor in the pot. I will look for the graphs.

Have you got that mixed up with cyanide?

I have a shelf unit behind my mill with 25 bins on it;-)

The drill looks good. Good luck with the bins. I bought three stillages full of lin bins about ten years ago, took me ten years to sort out shelving for them, until then every flat surface had piles of bins on it;-)

Well thats good of you, a couple of weeks is no problem.

Not really, to get a reasonable thickness you need to hold it for a few hours at temperature in whatever carbon rich atmosphere.

Does any one regularly get case hardening done and could they add some stuff of mine? I made some spacers for a gearbox, must be a few years ago now, and never got the case hardening sorted as it turned out my local hardening place didn't do it any more. I am just making some dies for a hydraulic crimper, I guess they should be cased as well and thought I would ask here before I started making a furnace;-)

Well I painted a raro chassis and axleswith it and 2 years or so later, when I flogged it, they still looked pretty good.

I altered an old ATX power supply a few months ago, it was pretty good between 7V and 16V, over or under that and the protection kicked in and shut it off instantly, I din;t get round to trying to sort out why it wouldn't go from 0 to 30V as some websites suggest. I used it to run a radiator fan for a few hours a day for a month or so, I had to rig up a relay and resistor as an anti surge thing to get the fan going as the initial draw was to great. once running it was continually putting out 12A@12V OK. I was a bit worried about plugging in and unplugging, thats when they tend to go bang. plugged it in yesterday and there was a flash, it's popped a capacitor, not sure whether I should bin it and move the alterations to another old psu or try and fix it, I only just know enough electronics to be dangerous..

I made a compression tester some years ago, I made on using a gauge from the local hydraulic shop and a dummy injector. It needs to have a valve in it, I glued in an old tyre valve. it worked perfectly and has been used on TDis half a dozen times since I made it, I made another end to do mondeos and I had trouble with the valve leaking. I like the picoscope stuff above. would have worked well with the mondeo mentioned above.

I was given a tin of Rustoleum, the bloke bought it from either Parker Steel or Buck and Hickman.

I have made a few things over foam. Blue foam works great. You stick it together with PVA to make a big chunk out of some sheet. You cut it with a hot wire[an old bit of nichrome wire] and it sands very easily. I use epoxy resin which doesn't melt foam. When your finished you just melt it out. Here's the only pic I could easily find, filter manifolds for some carbs.

Look for any signs of a bush, my lathe had a lever poking out of one end of the bush, you just turn it to mesh the gears. The lever was only at one end of the shaft. OK here's a picture of a similar LeBlond lathe, see the handle on the end of the back gear shaft, that rotates the bush and brings the gears into mesh. If you have a good pic you might be able to see a bolt in the front face of the front pulley, it's a dog clutch to lock the pulleys to the spindle.
