If you upload them to an image hosting site (e.g. imgur.com) you can then just put links to them on here. And have as many images as you want in a post. Or, keep adding them directly to the posts, but put the first 5 images on the first post, the next 5 on the second post and so on until you've got them all up.

I think you'll find it is a drill bit from the Rotabroach mag drill which is in the same shot - the 'nail' is the centre bit which slides inside the cutting bit to activate the lubricant

So 5 bes the answer.

ok

more tomorrow.

Anyway I was more than a little pleased with my fabrication skillz using nowt but a tape mesure, a steel rule, centre dab and 4.5" Angle grinder with the thin cutting discs and a crap buzzbox air cooled welder.

I found when I went to Rotobroach the 14mm dia holes for the woodbolts, that I did not have the correct size centre for the cutter.

So promptly fabricated one from a 6" nail, which worked flawlessley.

Thin discs are probably one of the wonders of the modern world, along with the miracle of the mag drill :001_smile:

A plasma cutter and a good welding set opens the fabricacation horizons wide :biggrin:

I always fancied a plasma cutter, and really miss having lost the nice mig to the ex in laws. Maybe one day I'll get to mess around fabricating stuff again. I've made a fair few creations :-)
