I'm presently changing my lathe to a DC drive motor from a treadmill and have finished modifying my test tank to accommodate the side paddlers. power bill came today up $60 on last year heating the shed I'd guess tin shed on concrete base loses heat quickly.
3.2c at 10.00am and going down.

Yes, it's very quiet on other forums as well.

In the UK, this part of the year is referred to as  'Miners fortnight'  when everyone goes on holiday. 

Me,  I can't afford a holiday so I'm trying to build a tug boat from the spare parts lying around the shed. Although I refer to it as a free build, the parts must have originally been purchased, so I wondered if I have enough to complete the job.

Great fun being economical, and helps to clear the place as well.

Boating is on hold as it's to cold to be playing in water to ballast the paddlers so I've turned engineer and modifying my lathe to Variable 12v DC drive.
The motor is from a treadmill the controller came as a kit with it has been built the motor mount constructed from steel is done, the layout of the control and the 12v 15A power supply is designed, i'm sitting around awaiting various boxes from China another 2 weeks should see them here.

the current AC motor a 1/4hp was picked up at a tip (refuse dump) 20 years ago so not bad for a freebie it more often than not needs a flick start of a pulley or the chuck not really safe but then again neither is parting off with a hack saw the chuck jaws have removed skin from fingers a few times so I lashed out and bought a parting tool as well.
