Well I thought I'd start a thread on things that you have made by yourselves.
It can be pretty much anything.
So I'll start, I like making things and my latest was to buy a microwave transformer. I removed the 7500volt secondary winding and installed a new low voltage step down winding. Produces in excess of a 100amp at 1volt. I'm guessing it's around 500amp
So will make a good spot welder, weld on slide hammer

Interesting concept.

Video needed!

Cool, so the thick wire acts as the electrode then.. Does the cable not melt?

Yea It's not completed yet

I have a perversion for clocks and watches. love em, lots of em. Also due to what i get up to at work I do a fair bit of precision wiring, soldering and micro engineering and I am fascinated by things that are both new and old looking at the same time, so in the winter when the garage is a tad cold, I built 2 Nixie tube clocks.

First one was a GPS controlled one like this from PV Electronics -

learnt the ropes and then -

Second one is a one off with russian nixie indicator tubes, built into a gutted MK8 AVO multimeter, GPS or Radio controlled, lots of fun -

Wow nice projects. They look very authentic

One of my better creations

Now that is a creation

Wee summer house made from scratch everything hand built forgot to take a finished pic woman's happy enough anyway.

Looks like a very good job on the wooden house, that's the sort of stuff we do for a living down here, building, chippy etc. Tricky to get right, every job has it's fiddly bits!
