To be clear I was neither calling you a Nazi nor suggesting that. It was my poor attempt at irony. Please accept my apology for offending you. I admire your work and am an avid follower.

I have deleted the offending post and again I apologize .

No offense taken. I`m just a bit more sensitive about that stuff, probably got it wrong too because of my not so good english skills.

Normally i`d saq let`s continue with some tech, but i don`t have anything new to show...

Wait, at least i got a total shot:

Glad to see the rig coming along Seinez. If you need a hand you can always send me a train ticket....

Stein, did you ever have Legos as child? It's probably why I like building things. Also, why I like this thread so much.

I need some practice with my welder....

I had Lego as a kid and I can teach you how to weld. You just have to come to Canada!:victory:

My parents told me i always took stuff apart and wasn`t able to put it back together when i was a kid. :ylsmoke:But i sure had Lego, are there any kid`s without it?

Almost finished a new tool/machine for my shop:

Not much to come, will be heading to austria and italy in a few days to do some skiing, climbing and hiking... :smiley_drive:

I always thought a cabin in the Austrian Tyrol would be nice. I have seen some beautiful pictures. Some Tyrolean ham sounds good too.

What is the tool? Or is it a surprise?

 

[Steinbruchsoldat]

Luckily i got one. Well, not really a cabin, more like a house. Not in the tyrolean area, but in the austria north alps.

The tool is a mplasma cutter tracer that let`s me cut plate according to a template.

Steinez I hope you have a good trip to Italy. Please post a link or pics of your travels. Cheers, Chilli...:smiley_drive:

Finally had some free time, so i continued on the winch. First i did some experimenting with hot glue:

Then i started boring out a part of the ring gear:

Welded some planetaries to the carrier:

This is how it`ll come together:

Took a short video to show how the gears work:

[Steinbruchsoldat]

First i bored out the planetary gear a bit:

Then i welded on some round stock:

Turned a seal seat down:

Bored it out:

Fits like a glove:
