Sorry to drag an old thread up, but...

just wanted to say this thing looks great!

Accurate marking out and skilled cutting with the disc is evident.


I'd love to make one. I have just weighed all my scrap in, but If I haven't found a job by the time the machinery sales start in York, I shall be out looking for an RSJ.

What machinery sales is that theoss?

What machinery sales is that theoss?

York Auction Centre. It's mostly a farmer's sale, but everything from tractors, to small tools is sold in several auctions running throughout the day. Building materials, including steel, is one auction.

It's a good place to buy that oil fillled or some tatty oxy gear.

It's a good day out if your local and haven't got owt better to do.

First one this year is soon.

If your going to travel download the catalogue first, obviously selection of lots varies month to month. Also the farmers often bid over the top if they see something they want.

Some crap gets sold- box of miscelaneous is always suspect- usually turns out to be a walkman and a few bolts...

It is a huge sale though, even though several auctions run at the same time, it is a full day sale.

Great looking job, excellent fit-up of parts. I would have mounted the wheels a little further forward and just clearing the floor so that they don't take any load when you are pounding on the work in the vise,But would come into play when the rear end is lifted for moving about. Also make the handle to fold down and fitted a little higher ( would then look like a canine sculpture "Chunko" could be proud of) just my variation on the theme.

not got anything to add other than AWESOME!

boys and there toys they say - it does have something about it, big sturdy thing that it is.....must have a bit of power in the welder used too?

very inspirational and very well finished

Quality work, can I have one please. Also like the vice.

Chunko'.

looks dead handy if you had mobile repairs to do. So many time we were trying to fix something in the field and would have needed a vice and bench.
Grrr Why did i never make one!!! Good job
