Mundane News

[Reynard]

I seem to remember seeing a Ladybird on my vest once .

That was the Woolworths brand for kiddies' clothes!

Murano, but it does make me happy.

It's not made of glass, is it?

I had accidentally put the Mundane News thread on ignore which might explain why I couldn't find it

Anyways, that was a nice lunch. Pork pie, truffle-infused brie, bread and butter, plus two and a clementine and a pear.

I might go and split a case of logs in a bit, and then I need to go see to making a template.

It seems to be a common occurrence!

Our old one did that twice, the inner wire snapped just where the cable entered the casing.

It's done that about three times. Cut a bit off and re-wired it. Think the plug isn't too great.

I've just managed to prevent DPD escaping with my beer. I waited out on the street and flagged him down as he was about to drive off. When I told him that I'd come down because the last time he'd failed to make a delivery, he immediately assured me that he wasn't Kevin. Kevin apparently has covid and this guy, who I'll call Not Kevin, was logged in as Kevin, came from SW and was learning the route. Curiously, he displayed the same ability to non-deliver as Kevin.....

Right, that's the template drawn for the chassis platform. Makes it so much easier when you've got a set of drawings to work from.

Time for a well-earned and chocolate cake bar.

Will need to do some thinking before I can cut what is quite a complex, and in places rather delicate part, because it includes all the supports for the side irons and the front and rear bumpers. The piece of fibreboard I was hoping to use is, unfortunately, warped. It will be fine for some of the smaller bits, but no point using it for what is probably the most critical component of the entire build. I have some suitable pieces of plywood, but I'm not confident that's not going to splinter or break when it comes to the more fiddly sections.

Maybe @Andy in Germany might suggest something?

I can already see that the next step will be making (and fitting) the side irons and the front and rear bumpers.
