Tea? (Part 2)

[potsy]

I need two small tubular spacers, 29mm long and with a 5-8mm bore. No more then 10mm OD and doesn't even need to be round.
Struggling to think what to use that is scrap and doesn't involve lots of making time.

29 1mm thick washers all stacked together

I would, if I had them to hand.

I am replacing the laminated stator from a small motor (the one in the blender for the pedal powered smoothie maker) so the armature is exposed to rub on the sidewall of the tyre.

I think I will just bore out, on the lathe, a bit of aluminium bar I have.

Good luck with that one, NT. I'd stop for some , first

I'm just finishing the dregs of a as I type.

Odd mixture. A bit like the pancakes with maple syrup and hash browns I was served in Canada once.

Ooh goody, balloons. Are we having a party?

Before I get cleaned up for the party, just replaced the derailleur cable from the down tube shifter... and re calibrated my gears!!! I've never done that before...so time to celebrate.... BALLOONS!! CAKE!!

Yes, I've had the bacon-and-maple-syrup thing, and that works ok. It's the doughnut bit that perplexes me.

I think I'd rather have the bacon and maple syrup bit, and then the doughnut later.

Well done on the gears Archie! Our efforts today pale in comparison.

Has anyone else ever sawn 64 knobbles off one side of a mountain bike tyre?

How many pots will it take to fill it?

Smoothie maker progress!
I used an old rack, removed from the Ratrike, to provide a frame to mount the blender on to. It will need some more frame to bolt onto.

The motor bearings and armature is welded in place. There is a bit of inner tube on the armature to make it a bit more grippy. You can see the two spacer tubes I made earlier.

I still need to make a wooden board to mount the plastic jug locator onto.

Notice the MTB tyre only has knobbles on one side now!
