Armilary

[Hitch]

Another one of them little projects that anyone here could do, with minimal tools.

Hacksaw, Vise grips, grinder, drill. and a calor cylinder.

Inner rings and stand from 12x5 flat, outer ring from 20x5. All bent by hand round the base of a calor bottle. Bit of 6mm round, and a couple of csk bolts.



Pointer, balls, and central bit ive had kickng about as leftovers, but all are readily available from the component suppliers.


Undecided on the finish, probably get it satin black p/c and highlight in gold.

Very nice, I have an occasional customer that's been pestering me to make him one in stainless, but he doesn't want to pay for it, just run it in with a job, still waiting for a job with enough value to cover it.
