  • Coming to the realization I'm too much of a tramp to spend £250 on a proper wheel truing stand, I bodged this from a rather hefty clamp stand & pile of old bits that I found tucked away in the corner of an old lab

    There's some other bits including adjustable sliding clamps still to be incorporated, this was just to see if it would work, which it does with absolutely no finesse - the rod that holds the wheel is the weak point, will get a thicker diameter bar & get it machined down where the wheel sits to improve stability but other than that, stable AF - weighs a ton

  • Excellent! Scrolled down expecting to see offcuts of aluminium extrusion construction kit stuff and mismatched t-slot nuts and 90° brackets!

  • Excellent bodge. If you ever find any more spare retort stands/clamps/what-have-you I’d be interested to know. I made a lamp out of one once but some more parts would be fun to play with.

    I had to remove some stubborn ferrules from a guitar headstock today. Headset spacers, top cap, a long bolt and a nut made a decent removal tool.

  • super bodge
