Replacement battery for Betty

Betty is our Garmin nuvi 2597LMT GPS that we bought off our older daughter a few years ago. The battery has been showing signs of dying so got a replacement one off eBay for less than $15 dollars. Battery arrived weeks ago and been sitting on the balcony computer desk and when I finally got around to doing the job could not find the bloody thing.

Tiny TORX screws... do I have bits that small?

14” Bandsaw – add more bracing

House cleaning today plus need to get the green bin ready for collection.

So we’ll do a small job and add some more bracing.

14” Bandsaw – Upper wheel cover

We will make the wheel covers from thin MDF with pine frames.

A few weeks ago ran out of 3mm MDF, so made sure when I did do a Bunnings trip in the van for general stuff - to get some.

14” Bandsaw – Left blade guard

With the left blade guard done we should now doo the right side.

As with the left we’ll use another bit of left over trim from the Colorbond garage construction. I’m planning to use two narrow lengths of MDF to secure the guard to the blade guide arm.

In this session we will make the lamp socket.

  
Laying out the lamp connector socket, the MDF is just the right thickness.

From the previous related post on this with the lamp fitted into the front of the can we can now make the base.

  

Marked out the base on a piece of MDF.
