Every now and again, we get presented with projects that can be a bit of a knotty head scratcher, this was no exception. These two brass mixer taps, although of a very high quality, for some reason did not line up with the existing holes, so they both needed to be reduced, by around 30mm. Once I had taken the plunge and cut them, that was the easy bit, the parts had to be put up in the lathe and machined and, because they are castings all the parts were very different so had to be held in an independent 4 jaw chuck and each part took a little while to set in the machine correctly. Each part could then be machined to a given diameter followed by 4 brass spacers with matching internal diameters. Once all the components had been machined the parts could then be assembled in a jig to obtain the correct spacing, Silver Soldered together and cleaned up

Instead of driving them, today we're fixing them. After 1.2 million miles with several thousand ton on its back, this Volvo needed its rear roll bar bush mounts changing. The tubes were rotten and one had actually broken and fallen out. Because of the age of this old lady of the road, parts are extremely difficult to come by and as it is still a working vehicle it needed to be sorted so it was bought to us. After removing all the brackets , I cut out the old tubes, cleaned up the area and welded new solid replacements into place reassembled everything and now its ready to put a few more clicks on the clock. This job would have been a whole lot easier if it was about 15 degrees cooler

Putting an M24 thread into 15mm Stainless Steel, not necessarily the kindest way to use a 3/4" Jacobs chuck, but its the only way I have to hold a tap of that size, I'm also a believe that "the tool that does the job is the right tool to do the job"
