Rubbed a bit of the anodizing off polishing the thread

So had to borrow 0.2mm length

Maybe not...but how satisfying was that?

Can I ask what your depth of cut was please.
I've only ever had a play cutting threads on a lathe, nothing serious..

Ever known one to actually only take the advertised length of time ?

The last time I done a 5min job it started as a 2 min job

I'm on day 2 of the last 2 minute job I got roped into

Depends on who's doing the defining of 5 minutes - if it's SWMBO you can forget the sneaky little session you were going to have in the morning ... today's was a broken clip on a downpipe (caused by her in the first place hanging onto it when she was pissed), shortly followed by the immortal words, "You might like to clean the gutters out while you're at it".

She wasn't on the Stella Cidre again perchance ??

I've just mended my front door bell-push.
Get screwdriver and knife. 1 minute.
Unscrew bell push 1 minute
Use knife to bend contacts a touch further apart. Test. 1 minute
Reassemble 1 minute.
Put away screwdriver and knife 1 minute.

Job done in 5 minutes.

This MUST be a record. And no crushed fingers either.

 

[Hmangphilly]

wanted to acheive this




but needed to do this



So had to invent this



So I could do this






So I could end up with this



And then this

 

[Hmangphilly]

Turned out it wasn’t all that tight after all

 

[Hmangphilly]

Oh
Here’s an odd ball

 

[Hmangphilly]

It’s to allow fitting of a Steyr tube with an aftermarket internal reg to a Walther with a Walther reg but without the reg part

I think

 

[Siklizard]

I thought it was something to say to apprentices ,just like the long stand and tartan paint

 

[Gers32]

I didn't fall for the "go to the tool store and fetch me a left handed hammer", but given a requisition slip I waited ages for a 'long stand' and when I asked were it was the reply I received was "you've had it". Cruel lot I worked with.

I thought it was something to say to apprentices

I was given a job last week, thought is was a wind up but no it wasn't (I am the apprentice)
I've got to bandsaw 12 meters of 2 inch round stainless in to 9mm disks with an accuracy of ,25mm
I make that about 1250+ and then they have to be turned, milled and drilled.
