It was about time I did some more work on the never ending project that is the roof. I’d done a load of reading up on metal shaping and decided that I needed to make a slapper. I’d already cut down a piece of leaf spring that I had been using, but it was not the easiest to use as it had no handle. I cut it into pieces, then cut a handle shape into one of them before welding it all back together. I ground it all nice and smooth, then filed it down before smoothing it with the orbital sander. With that done, I did the same to the hammer faces and all the dollies. With them all smooth and shiny looking, I was ready to start working on the roof again. A few more hours work and it was definately better. I think the neighbours had probably had enough by then, so I set about a big tidy up instead. I’d hardwired the compressor in to its own supply, and decided to plumb in some pipework and the spare moisture trap. Nice and neat, and easier to use.
