Thanks Dave and others

I would not call the paint stripping a labor of love especially when you dont wash your hand properly and you go for a leak. what you cant feel burn on your hand you defiantly can on your landing gear

the rest of it was good fun
now i just need to name her

cheers

What about Hartys toil

Verb Work extremely hard or incessantly.

Noun Exhausting physical labor: "a life of toil". Dave

Nothing special, I am still on holidays and managed to make a few things





and a toolpost for my hercus

Hi All,
I found that I needed a new Workbench so gave it some thought so it could serve several purposes.
Decided that it needed to have clamping points for welding and jiging but at other times just needed to be just a bench so this is what I came up with.
50mm Angle Iron for the main outer top, 50mm Square for Legs and Uprights, 40mm Angle Iron for Inner Frame, a Shelf below the Inner Frame with a Gal Sheet for any Welding Slag and used Form Ply for Removable Top Board and fixed Bottom Shelf.
Pictures attached so you can see what I did.

HI Jason,
Looking good, last time I saw your keypad it was still being milled, it came out very spiffy. Ray Just pointed me to here as i have been looking at reduction gearing systems for a proposal I'm working on. Nice work on the HypoCycloidal drive, I'll like to see it in motion. Anyway I came across a reduction gearing that I thought was interesting enough to post: HarmomicDrive and they say that it is possible for a 330:1 reduction in a single stage which i thought was pretty impressive.

Hi Josh

thats the gearbox that is in the wrist on the fanuc m1 robots which is what i made the 4th axis for the mill from. it took me a while to workout how it all worked once i pulled it apart
the best part of this system is no backlash bloody brilliant idea

cheers

I agree so simple, but so effective. I had never seen one, I'm more familiar with planetary reduction. How is it for noise at full speed? (one of my concerns), I would think that the gearing would be relatively quite compared to even a helical planetary since there is only two mesh points?

Hi Josh
its running on a stepper so its not high rpm but its still very quiet

cheers

Hi Harty,
I've just spent a pleasant hour looking through the all pictures of the rebuild, I was expecting to be impressed with the attention to detail and thorough planning, and wasn't disappointed. I can remember a picture of the boat in another thread a while back ( I think it was a 40+ degree day ) and you'd been out in the heat scraping paint...

Nice to see all that blood and sweat come to a great conclusion.. here's to those many happy years of fishing ahead!

Regards
Ray

Hi Ray

Thanks for the kind words
I may have done too good a job though cos now the wife wants to come fishing too


cheers
Harty

Lucky you did not paint it red, because you would have more then the wife wanting to be seen on board.

Latest project has been this new room in the shed extension.... Fully enclosed 32 square metres.... Going to use it for doing things that I would like to stay fairly dust free..... Already got the surface plate spot earmarked in it..
