Just spotted this.  Very clever, although I guess all the running gear didn't come from the microwave.  Anyone recognise his little spot welder, or is it a home brewed device?  Looks very handy for small scale fabrication.

Logically, his spot welder is one of the many projects that reverse engineer a microwave oven's transformer.
From the sparks, I would say the energy per weld is much higher than the ideal for welding battery packs.
If anyone considers making battery packs I would recommend a pen. https://www.google.com/search?&q=9+gear+spot+welder&tbm=vid

Last Ever Firing of H.M.A.S Parramatta 4.5 Gun Turret.
Australian Leander. Inside the turret.

Used on every RN class of Destroyer and Frigate from the 50s to the 80s (With one exception)
Virtually the same as ww2.

I used to work in one of these. (Not Australian though)

Bloody hell ! - That's  terrifying!!!  :o :o


Which one? the turret?


It's certainly very loud and hard work.
I can still smell it!


They are a good crew, it takes a lot of practice.
When you did the gunnery school there was a practice turret that used inert rounds and consisted of just the breech mechanism.
Lots of opportunity for damaged hands.
Down in the handling room there's another 4 guys transferring the shells and charges from the 4 magazine hoists that are fixed in place to the 4 turret hoists that move with the turret of course.
Below them are four guys in the magazine transferring shells and charges to the hoists from the stowage.
Behind and above the guns is the 'captain of the turret' who can take manual control if there is a power failure from the director.


Even more fun in any kind of swell when the ship is rolling and the guns are stabilised and moving relative to the rest of the turret.

Yes, Well done Leo, fantastic effort & object lesson in amateur craftsmanship!

Great video, I found myself full of emotions, pride ( for no reason), joy, awe, admiration,  but mainly grinning from ear to ear!
