I'm glad this turned up, as I'm playing with these at the mo. I guess I'm in danger of telling grannies how to suck eggs, but this might be...
That's great - thanks. I'd had a half-hearted go at a crappy box spanner by squeezing the end of a bit of thick-wall tube, but the ideas on peg...
Hi folks I need to make a tool to get the nrv out of a little Monitor touring stove. I'd be obliged if anyone can tell me what the distance AF is...
I have acquired a heavy stainless-steel, very shiny parabolic reflector (cough - lampshade :) ). I wonder if anyone has any advice regarding...
It's a good way of avoiding jobs on the critical path :)
Thanks to Harder, who helped me buy most of a 'Baby' from German ebay. I guess I have enough bits now to make a 'good' one, and also to keep the...
Oh - of course I should add that the idea is (for anyone in any doubt) that the whole assembly is a really rattly, lousy 'fit' on the pump rod -...
OK, here we go. I was repairing an Enders 'Baby' 9063. Pump cups came from this ebay listing: https://tinyurl.com/ya7zxkem Pic below shows the...
I recently made one from a drilled-out 'Enots' brass compression fitting for small-bore copper brake pipe, a turned down M8x1 steel nut (near...
I'm sorry, I was making a silly joke about the kind of minuscule electronic components one has to deal with in modern equipment for repair...
So, what's your technique like with surface-mount components? Maybe you use one iron for 60-40 and keep the other one for modern lead-free... :)

This is turning out to be surprisingly tricky. Too densely packed fibreglass string, and it doesn't work at all. Less densely packed, and one...
Well, so far, so bad. The copper tube gets so hot during priming that the wick appears to dry out. Maybe I need something a bit less...
As someone new to silent burners, I like that. And I have some copper brake pipe, a ball of string, and some jobs which need doing to avoid...
That takes me back to my Mum trying to use such a thing to vary our diet on our annual 2-week camping holiday in Wales, getting on 40 years ago....
Ah, I don't want to take this way off topic for this forum - I'm new and mods will be upset! Unfortunately the forum where I documented the build...
... or file the thread off and solder the thing in solid :)
There are a couple of Chinese sellers knocking out taps at M14.5 x 0.75 on UK ebay, so it seems to be some kind of standard. That's 34-ish tpi,...
I enjoyed the 'tank' reference. By way of introduction here I am trying very hard not to get stuck getting in to one we found on holiday, and...
