1186 forum posts 11 photos | I wonder what the commenter sees wrong in the picture. The two pieces of angle iron have been welded together into a C-section and bolted to the body of the grinder using the manufacturer-supplied threaded holes normally used for the side handle (you can see the head of the bolt). He is drilling a hole in another part of the fabricated bracket in order to attach it to something or something to it. Having the grinder in place stops the wings of the C-channel flexing due to downwards pressure of the drill bit and also gives something to hold onto. About the only thing wrong is that it is not clamped down. |

I wonder what the commenter sees wrong in the picture. […] . The comment presumably relates to the video, and its author, rather than the specific frame that I grabbed MichaelG. Edited By Michael Gilligan on 13/03/2022 10:10:06 |

Looks fine to me. I would hold the angle iron in my fingers to give it more stability It looks like he had to use a special jig to hold those two bits of angle iron crooked while he welded them together. Perhaps that could be used to hold it stable for drilling? I have to admit though that the welding looks kind of familiar. I see a bit of it around here with my ancient stick welder and the welding rods that came with it when I bought it at a garage sale for $50 about 10 years ago. I think the tropical humidity might have gotten into the flux over the years. That's my excuse anyway. I wonder what his is? Edited By Hopper on 13/03/2022 11:44:12 |

![]() 1078 forum posts | We are all on different stages in our journey in engineering. Some people progress faster than others, some need guidance, and some either never get any or disregard it. I look at the engineering I did only 12 months ago and want to throw it in the bin. I made some traction engine wheels I'm proud of today. In a years time I'll probably think they are fit for scrap. |

241 forum posts 35 photos | I did quite like the cable crimper - it looks like it works better than some of the (not cheap) ones I've bought. Think I'll pass on the power hammer though. |
