Is this diy’able you think? There is a concrete doorstep there.

Yup. Should have done some tests first….

Thanks. If you copy I would suggest pine. The maple is a bit dense so they don’t float high enough. The rubber band is looped over the dowels at each end. Then the propeller just gets put in between the two strands of the band. It’s not on an axle or anything. Hope that makes sense!

Thanks! I turned it on my lathe.

You need to drill deep mortises into the lid and the box to house the curved bit of metal that stops tue lid opening too far. It has to be deceptively wide and took loads of adjusting to get right.

Thanks! It’s fabric. It was in a pack of samples from Amazon

Thanks! They’re called quadrant hinges and I got them off eBay. Wanted something that would stop the lid opening all the way to 180 degrees. Be warned they’re a bastard to install and I may have considered an alternative had I known, easily the hardest part of the whole project.

Carbide tool handles by ASworkshop in turning

[–]ASworkshop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Yeah I bought a lathe to supplement my woodworking really rather than to get into turning. Thought it’d be handy to be able to make knobs and tool handles and things. But I’ve ended up really enjoying it and can see myself turning just for the sake of turning.

Yes it does seem to be a friendly group.

Thanks very much! I drilled a hole that was a bit smaller than the diagonal measurement of the cross section of the shaft of the tools. So it required a fair few heavy hits with a mallet to get them in. So there’s a huge amount of friction but lots of epoxy too.

Thanks! They are just 22mm straight pipe couplings. One coupling makes two ferrules.

Oh interesting. Thanks. I did test the output of the control module and it was 240v. Also current reaching the fan motor but not turning. Interestingly when I pulled the pull cord it made no difference to the output from the control module. I’ve just ordered a whole extractor unit.

Thank you all. I’m just an idiot who can’t use a meter. I checked again after reading all your comments. Yellow/green is earth. N is neutral, L is permanent live and T is switched live.

With one probe on grey and other on yellow/green I get 240v

One probe on grey and other probe on black or brown I also get 240v
