I think the Canberra is bigger, this one is a Metters trump no. 2, I think there’s also a fancier 2A version with built in hot water heater.
Yeah it’s pretty run down, my dad and I bought the cabin about 25 years ago and it had already been sitting in that spot for probably 15-20 years prior to that.
Needs protein!!
Then stuff 'em with meat and cheese and bake them!
I posted that cause our resident doctor “18FAN” loves talking smack on people’s food choices.
I just love stuffed peppers

Went to work to get some of that sweet sweet overtime. First job was to fix a mess up, guy cut the keyway wrong so they welded it back up and needed it turned down. Easy!
Next job was simply “thread shaft.” Sure thing, thank god I remember how to single point thread on an engine lathe. It’s metric. Okay easy enough, my little engine lathe is capable of cutting metric threads without a bunch of witchcraft and hackery. But what the heck is DIN103 and this TR before the thread callout? Google it, it’s trapezoidal, 24x5 to be precise.
I, in my almost 12 years of machining, have never cut trapezoidal threads EVER, let alone manually. It’s not hard throwing a G76 into a program, but there are multiple ways to thread manually. Alright, I like a good challenge. Took me awhile (and my lathe is pretty small so large cuts are out of the question), but I’d say it came out pretty well. I only did the threading on this part, everything else was already done.

Nice! Engine lathes were always my fallback when my CNC was waiting for the OEM to sort something …
I’ve been burning at both ends lately. Work, porch addition, replacing windows, last year of my electrician apprenticeship, studying for the journeyman exam, and a college class that is offered for free with said apprenticeship.
The window in the photo was $2600 and we are finally starting new siding. We like the green a lot more than the mid 90’s tan that was originally on the house.

@dlundblad Did you use window flashing?
