christmas painting
« on: December 28, 2007, 12:29:11 AM »
 enjoying the Xmas break . but trying to keep clean and enjoy the rest.

  i couldent go down my workshop as it was a bit cold and that ment putting on my winter workwear.

  so i just ate and watched tv.

  but my mind was bored and i wanted to do sumthing on my mill.

  so a little job i was able to do was painting indoors. i got the rotor and gave it a

  makeover.  i think it looks much better for the the paint .

  ok i know it wont do anything . but i liked it. gave me sumthing to do indoors.

  sum might not like it but who cares. red vanes lol.

  and today i got a bit more done . this time i made a stand like i saw on dans workshop.

   a little mini wheel rim.  dident take long to make .

  so if your into building windmills. then dont throw away a old car wheel.

 or if you see one dumped . then you got a great little helper.

 i had a struggle getting the tyre off.

   so i run the jig saw around it .

  about5 ten minnits after finishing the stand i started to paint.

  so easey.

   but it wasent my own idea. thanks Dan.

   havent done much work on the mill of late. just when i get the time.


  not to much more to do now <BR><img src="http://www.otherpower.com/images/scimages/8475/red_vane_1.JPG" width=80%><BR><BR><img src="http://www.otherpower.com/images/scimages/8475/wheel_stand.JPG" width=80%><BR>

 I like the paint job.Pour a little cement in the rim,it will be more stable with a load on it.

 Nice.

later

Looks like you're scaling up your projects.

Well actually in my case I would use the wheel,

tire and all...but not a tire so worn that the

steel belt sticks out...(man...those are mean!

...they bite!)Okay to continue the whole works

make a very stable affair ...tilt it and you can

roll it anywhere....lot better than any caster

wheels!
