A few close ups before lunch.

Really very simple construction.

Seb's first outing with the arc welder too.

Panels are riveted on.

Its a good job Stevie Wonder can play the piano cause he sure as hell can't weld.

Ty I'd get those welds ground down and redone there an accident waiting to happen I assume you pile the chip on lot of stress on said welds.

 

I'm really not been funny but would hate to see you have an accident spent 10 years working on steel and 2 years as a snagger ( still can't weld well) I've seen weld fail due to poor welding instantly.

[Ty Korrigan]

Your quite right about the welding.

BUT, it did get better as the day progressed!

The later ones are almost passable...ha ha ha!

Chip box carries little weight, more for chip containment and to keep the dust in.

Rated for 1000kg the original bed with our old tiny ply greedy boards piled to a neat mound carried 1100kg at the local weigh bridge.

We don't usually run much over weight around here due to the number of Gendarmes on patrol and the ease of returning to base to tip at lunch.

It will take a hour to remove the alloy panels and give the welds a going over under the watchfull eyes of one 'Komatsu' Clive who we only later found out IS a chuffing qualified welder (well at least in his previous U.K life...)

Last week near Dreux in Normandy, I saw a similar design to ours but using stainless panels and box tube.

The welds where tiny, tiny little dashes, remarkably neat and clean, just leaving a slight rainbow effect on the metal.

We've a way to go but as the steel for the frame was so cheap, it will cost us little to make another improved version this summer.

the stainless box would have been TIG welded an excellent welding method
