So i was bored...

[wisecobandit]

So started out with so me 6" square dural mild steel plate and some 1 x 1/2" box section...

 

 

Not lucky enough to own a plasma cutter but a grinder and 6 1mm cutting disc do the job...

 

 

So the hard bits now done...

Assemble bits togeteher (bloody typical left out the bush the camera shot)

 

 

Sods law the gas always goes on the last weld you need to do...

 

 

So just swung some smoothrite on it hence the wet look and reflection...

 

 

1 Husqvarna crankcase splitter which cost £100 over the counter and covers 346 upwards saws.

Granted they can normally be split without it but its so much easier with one and no swearing or burnt fingers from heating up bearings....

Lol Rich I know the feeling.

If I can have a go at making things I do, it wasn't a hard challenge but im a tight arse and wasn't willing to pay a hundred quid for something you rarely use.

Had this week off so if I was in the house and not doing much I would've been given a list of jobs by the better half...

Oh god yeah....... The tiles for kitchen floor have been in the shed since last summer. Have managed to dodge that bullet for a while.:lol:

 

Plus the chores list.

 

Rather be cutting and welding throwing sparks around burning holes in the coveralls.

It's there. Just need a few bits. The engine is there, need to get a bar when funds allow. And then attach it to the engine.
