What did you do today? (2014)

'Senior Management getting to feel ignored she says, but haven't worked out why yet.'

Don't even try; if you value your existence on this planet!… .. just nod your head & agree !!

George – agreed, long ago gave up trying to work out the why's as related to a women, now just nod my head as you suggest and try to keep the peace whilst trying to be getting to do what I want to do. Like shed time.

But surprise surprise, was granted an exit visa and got three hours in the shed this arvo and progressed the fitting of the Y axis DRO bar to the mill, so not a bad day. Plus now have 40 pints of bitter hopefully beginning to bubble away.

Happy New Year to all! Neil will presumably be starting a new thread, "what did you do today (2015)"!

A while ago I posted on bushing a CI pulley to fit a new pulley onto a 3 phase motor to my VMB. All your suggestions worked, I even succeeded in cutting a keyway in the bush by racking the lathe carriage on the lathe with a slotting tool. The pulley is on the motor, the motor on the miller after some radical surgery with a hacksaw and file (blush!) and the motor now drives the spindle nicely through a link belt with 4 pulley speeds and variable motor speed. Just need to tidy up the electrics and the belt guard and I'm done. At least that's one project that was 99% complete in 2014.

Also spent several happy hours assembling Ikea cupboards to accommodate the tide of stuff we have accumulated!  You have to admire the quality of their mechanical design to a price, and they must have awesome CNC machines.
