Working on the Tardis repairs today. First foot done. Pretty happy I managed to cut and weld four pieces of angle iron together and it is still square and not warped.

Only 7 more to go.

I built a laptop shelf/arm from salvaged bits and pieces.

It can go up and down, and slides forward about 15cm if required.

Hmm, it sort of works. I’m not happy with the mating of the rail to the frame. Might need to think of a more sturdy fitment.

Worked out a mounting system for the long forge (the bolts pictured, which will sit on two rails from my Regular forge), and welded up the air intake and ash dump.

Currently waiting for the rails to cool as I had to forge in a lip so they’ll attach to the regular forge frame.

All this is so I can heat treat the cutlass blade, but will be a handy long term addition to the workshop.

Dodgy as hell, but I’ve almost finished constructing the long burner charcoal forge. Assuming it works as planned, I’ll be able to heat treat long blades.
Still to do, add end caps, and construct 90° air intake, and some form of stand.
It’s pictured upside down here.
