Nice and long but that's what all the boys say
Ahhh righto makes sense now.
Progress is slowly being made, fianly moved the blasting
equipment into place. Now I can start on shelves, wash area
and finish the air and water supplies

ps small springs and shit suck arse.............. you know when you take apart something
you have no idea how it works and its spring loaded, well yer that happened
I love taking spring loaded stuff apart, especially when the fucking spring takes off at the speed of light during disassembly.
I see you have played forky spoony before.....Quote:

Well it lives, the owner sorted the last of the issues and got the first start done.
Linky no worky.....
Ok my bad
So it turns out I can make mistakes......... My mistake was being so far off chops when welding up these brackets for the new metal rack I said to myself. "Fuck it I wont clamp these down as I weld them, how far could they possibly warp"......... Well as it turns out a lot seems to be the correct answer. Well enough to be cough " out side of acceptable tolerance " cough cough
To be honest, I really did fuck up. I had to think of a solution to bend 50x25x3 mm rhs back straight after some twat welded shit in the way. Not nearly as simple as one might first think. My solution may not be on the top of every bodies list but let me assure you, it was by far the easiest I could come up with at the time and I got very very lucky.

installed onto their new home, just waiting till I can afford the 25mm mdf shelves I will be using
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...psvksce8c9.jpg
.
Presetting things like this is the only way mate. Something like that at a guess would be 10-20mm....
Well silly me was to lazy to clean off the fab table to do that......Quote:

Hey Lynton, you need this.
http://dragbike.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6618
I can't see pics but it sounds like a lot of fun for 3k....
not a bad buy but I turned down one with less needed for the same money but was n/a
good buying for someone over 10k in good bits on it but id cut the mild steel rear section of and start again
progress has been almost zero...... no work means lots of time but in kind means no money
so until some cash becomes available workshop upgrades are at a stand still
but still knocked this trolley up out of bits I had laying around, its to hold all the blasting medium
and some inox, etc.

I took the opportunity to clean and inspect it. Well things got out of hand and it received a full pull
down. All moving parts cleaned and repacked with grease. A drive spring, one belt and a messing oil
pump are looks all that need to be sourced. I am waiting to see if the off size roller bearing can be sourced
as well but it and its counterpart seem in good order after cleaning and packing so I might just reassemble as is.

Being without a shed these days only makes me hate you even more. Lol.
Now all I've got is less room than what you have under your house.....
Myself and the rest of the tribe will be down Brissy way in a few months so we'll have to do beers or that spicy bourbon or something.
