Could have used cardboard for the more expensive version of cad

C.A.D was thought about, but I was using it for angles as much as the shape, P.A.D worked a treat

what you making?

what you making?

Modifying an old A frame, to fit an axle.

Modifying an old A frame, to fit an axle.

may I ask why? I'm intrigued!

 

[KennyO]

You can get 6 spline to a flat flange face coupling. They are used on reekie destoners. Could possibly bolt two together to make a female- female 6 spline coupling

Adding an axle to a machine, Joe
The axle is HGV, and the A frame is from an old Volvo dump truck, so don't match, so it needed some modification

all the heavy steel work you do, making bits for the wide tracks, making trailers and mods to stuff like that I'm sure you could have your own thread for it all!!

Have thought about it, Joe .......

Get on with it!! New and old projects would be a very impressive portfolio

Hmm, yeah, I'll give it some thought maybe? Trouble is then, you'd all realise I'm winging it most of the time and don't know what I'm doing....

doesn't matter its still impressive, lot of skill in building something that works while "winging it"give it some proper consideration

Cardboard, well corn flake card, is the way forward .............

I don't eat cornflakes.....

 

[Mursal]

Well I mean non corrugated cardboard (for the accuracy), what do you eat, then ............

 

[Shovelhands]

Yes, corrugated is rubbish for accurate C.A.D, but still has its uses for low accuracy C.A.D (also know as 'a rough idea').

At the moment, I am mostly eating ....yogurt.....

Does anyone know how much volume a teagle mixer holds?

Got a 1.5cube meter concrete job to do and wondering if I'll be better getting some readymix

If it's anything like my pan mixer it'll either be far too much or just hardly enough!

(1/2diameter)x(1/2 diameter) x 3.142 x2/3(height)

Now most concrete suppliers charge a premium of min 4 meters so It would be cheaper to mix yourself. 2ton of aggregate with cement is approx a meter cube of concrete........................

If filled fairly well, I used to say .25 cum. It's 10 + years ago since I did it. I think a 5 x 2 pan x 9 inch thick. Just worked that out, think it's .22.

Yeah they usually charge for a part load. I pick part loads up with the dump trailer & tractor usually and it works out not too bad
