Welding Stainless Steel Pocket Protectors in your Sleep
Posted by Paul Woodhouse at November 9th, 2007
I’m obviously something of a visionary. Well, when I say visionary, I mean I’ve found another blog post about stainless steel pocket cups after I’d touted a return to the vest-pocket ashtray.
Anyway, the above fella somehow got somebody at Boing Boing all excited because he’d made his own - wait for it - stainless steel pocket protector.
“The first thing I noticed when I met Dan is that he was wearing a
aluminumstainless steel pocket protector. He said he made it himself after realizing that he was tearing through at least one plastic pocket protector a week. The side seams are sewn with copper wire and coated with cellophane tape so it doesn’t snag his shirt. I think it’s a real beaut.”
Well I suggest popping round to a see a seasoned sheet metal place that knows how to weld stainless steel if you’re having to cover the seams with sellotape. I also expect you’d come across quite a few other handy contraptions they may have rustled together whilst there’s a lull.
Anybody else care to share some little project they’ve completed to make their life easier round the workshop?
HAVE a project for you. Lay out a soccer ball. Out of stainless. and helirc it together. Put the right amount of water in it and freeze it to expand th ball to the right dementions. Without splitting the seams.
