First Class Building, Development and Refurbishment. Great Fosters Country House. From Pub To Home. FROM VILLAGE PUB TO BEAUTIFUL HOME. This lovely old pub was converted some years ago to form a beautiful cottage and home, however over the years the exterior of this property has been left neglected and as the photo shows, has weathered badly. The exterior was in very bad shape due to lack of maintenance over the years, this all required stripping back to the original timber frame; where.

Jet Engine

http://www.letley.com/index.php/post/jet-engine

So I finished the ring, the main reason for starting this lathe business in the first place. Next on the list is a fun project in 2 distinct parts. The overall project is to build a mini turbojet engine. There are loads of projects and plans on the internet already. I'm largely basing mine on the Wren Turbines. It's a simple design, with only a single shaft, compressor wheel and turbine that physically move when running. When it runs though it's apparently capable of 160,000 RPM! Watch this space for both.

A long catch-up post

http://www.letley.com/index.php/post/a-long-catch-up-post

A long catch-up post. Ok, it's been a while since my last post, but I always say that don't I. I bought myself a 15 inch rotary table that's just about liftable by hand. Â I think probably 100kgs! I've binned 2 now, and nearly wrecked my third attempt, which has led me on a rather large diversion.I'm CNC converting my mill.more on that in a separate post I think. I other overdue news I found myself a handy little bandsaw on ebay:. And I made a timer for my spotwelder:. In action closer up:. So am I happy?

Tool post grinder

http://www.letley.com/index.php/post/tool-post-grinder

A fun month since the last post. I've been making a tool post grinder (partially) following plans I found on a forum. The idea is to improve the accuracy of the jet engine shaft by using a grinder instead of simply turning. Most importantly I've used my new milling machine in anger. It's a beast :). The next step was to square up the vertical plates:. A few more holes in suitable places, tapped and then bolted together. Then drilled for the main tool post:. Credit here though to the forum post I saw:.

Prediction

http://www.letley.com/index.php/post/prediction

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I do like to set myself goals. I've added it all up, and curiously the total came to 198 hours to complete, including the ECU. This doesn't count any time for the first run (or multiple runs if there are faults). So given the bits I have already done, here's my progress so far:. My next prediction is when (elapsed time) I might finish. That all depends how much free time I get, and how much I spend skiing instead (though if I. 26 November 2012, 14:56.

I'll try anything once. Ok, I decided to convert the mill to CNC to speed up a few time consuming processes, and probably gain accuracy. Â I'm planning to make a 4 axis conversion so I can machine the jet diffuser on it. Â I did consider 5 axis, but there's no really need right now, and the conversion of design into tool paths looks way more difficult, and the software vastly more expensive. The controller is a 5 axis job from ebay, and today I played with getting one axis wired up:. A long catch-up post.
