Thumb test drive.
Works great! Picks up logs and concrete beams and even delicate stuff such as steel beams. I'm well pleased with the result 😸
The huge concrete beam weighs somewhere beyond 8 tons and is too heavy for our little digger, but it can grip it and drag it around. The thumb and fangs easily withstand the full force of the bucket curl cylinder.

Thumb ready. Finished making the pins and adjuster holes.
Didn't weld tubes inside the other holes. We'll see how they hold up. If they do oval out I can still do that, for the ones I use a lot.
I see now why nobody sells adjustable thumbs. This was a lot of extra work that would make it too expensive. Only DIYers get to have it :)
Only primer on there yet, still need to paint it but only have orange, blue and green available, none of which match well here.

Thumb is getting there. Cut off the corners, flipped them around and welded them back on as reinforcements, now the whole thing looks more streamlined. I think it'll be strong enough without doubling up the thickness near the fangs.
If they break I'll do it :)
Also made two pins out of three. This is the dullest job in the world, drilling a 8mm hole through 25mm solid rod, but the pins I bought weren't long enough after some design tweaks. At least it's not stainless steel!

Teeth! Got some spare teeth for a spring-tooth harrow. So in theory they should be pretty durable.
Special challenge: Cutting curves with an angle grinder 😆
My tack welds did not withstand hydraulic gripping power and the teeth flew off at the first test, so I welded them on properly to try picking up a small concrete beam.
Clearly when its done I will need some practice with this new thumb as I picked up way too much soil with the beam. The thumb works though 🥳
Bunch more detail work to do, make holes for the other adjustment points, finish the pins, cut excess material off the sides and weld reinforcement pieces for the fangs. Maybe some serrated "back teeth".

If the holesaw has somehow wandered way off track, it's hard to re-center it where it is supposed to be.
But if you just tack a piece of tube where the hole is supposed to go, the holesaw can't wander anymore and will have no choice but to cut the hole inside the tube.
Afterwards it is easy to cut the guide back off.

Finally could resume work on the thumb after an unexpected shortage of welding wire. 😳
First job was to add in the connecting pieces between the two sides. A thick piece of flat bar at the top to leave space for the support leg when extended. And a box section to handle shear forces near the tips when grabbing an asymmetricl item such as a rock.
Wire brushed and finish welded the body of the thumb without distorting it too much.
Then I started on the adjustment holes for the sliding support leg. Welded in a reinforcement tube, which is a lot of work. It'll be a lot more holes to saw for the other adjustment points later. Perhaps I overdesigned it a little, but hopefully I'll get some use out of the adjustability.

Made a thing I saw some Youtuber use. Its as useful as it looked, and easy to make.
Couple bits cut off a rusty rod, cleaned up and welded together as letter "h" and voila, a webbing winder for use with a battery drill.
Instead of a tangled mess in a bucket, I've got my cargo straps ready for next use in record time. Should also work with the firehose, but I haven't tried that yet.
If you're making one, two tips:
1. The short leg should be terminating before the long leg reaches the bottom so it can be used against a flat surface. About 5-10mm shorter.
2. The legs should be slightly narrower at the bottom than at the top, to make it easy pulling the tool out of a tight roll when done.

I'm on a rest day today, well earned, because I overdid it slightly yesterday. However, big milestone is that the structural welding on the back of the Princess is done! I got the seam sealer on which means it's just paint and underseal to go before rebuilding the mechanical gubbins.
I'll do a full update on my Patreon very soon: https://www.patreon.com/NoExpenseSpent
Bloody mindedness wins again!

"You can't weld cast iron!!!111" the internet says.
Well, it was half right. The big nut cracked when tightening. The other part, which is a sort of bushing fixed into the wheel that had both ends broken off remains intact, even with the impact driver tightening the bolts.
The wheel nut is not strictly necessary on these wheels, so unless I find a suitable replacement nut laying around somewhere I'll consider my log hauling contraption wheel repaired.

#ExcavatorThumb progress:
Clamped and aligned the thumb sides with the help of two bricks that happened to be the right width, then tack welded the tubes on.
Next part was the adjustable support leg. Figuring out the length of both parts was easy, swing the thumb up and down, measure distance between pins and copy it to the two parts on the workbench.
Making the inner part slide smoothly into the outer took ages as I had to grind down the thickness of the entire outer surface, then polish it smooth.
Solved the problem of the outer tube having a seam weld inside by hammering on the inner one until it bowed inwards just enough to allow space for that seam.
Fits very nicely now and almost no play.

Thumb update:
Made the thumb wider so it fits better between the bucket teeth, which required cutting new reinforcements. Cut the ones for the support leg as well and decided where to attach it to the thumb.
Then worked on the adjustable support leg. A cylinder each welded to the end of a box section. The lower fitting was easy, just an approximate half-circle with three shallow cuts of the angle grinder and then bend it back and forth until it breaks out.
The upper fitting having the added challenge of being narrower than the box section, so it got tapered a bit by cutting some wedges out and banging on it with a hammer.

Oooh, you can weld things for only $120 (plus PPE?) and only need 120V?. That could be dangerous, lol. #welding

Salut Masto,
J'ai ouvert un portail, un portail de fées qui veulent chacune leur propre armure! Elles l'auront toutes un jour! Promis!
Après la Fée des Courageuses, voici la Fée de la Paix: elle remet dans le corps des humains qui l'ont perdu, un coeur rempli d'amour et de compassion.
Très difficile prendre une photo de cette petite avec tous les reflets et les interstices.... 😅

Do you want to see me try and replace a whole outer sill while suffering from the worst hayfever I've ever had and before I start a new job for which I have to rely on the car to commute to and from? Of course you do!

#introduction to me,
Hi (20M), I’m working on #fabrication as a hobby and I love #welding I’m Interested in doing my own work here soon. My goal on this app is to find community and similar people to share experiences with and just have people to talk to.
I love #cats . My favorite animal is the mantis shrimp. I play videogames kinda often. I spent a little time in the Navy hoorah devil doc. How do you end an introduction -
Salut Masto,
Ma fée est presque terminée. Elle prend une pause après avoir vu des horreurs sur un cellulaire qui s'est retrouvé par erreur entre ses mains. Elle reprend son souffle avant de retourner au combat pour la paix.
Comme elle a émergé au momemt où Rozon est déclaré prédateur sexuel, j'ai le goût de la nommer la fée Courageuse en l'honneur de ces femmes qui ont eu gain de cause.
