Rope is scarily abrasive, I've seen carabiners nearly cut through from a running rope.

And that will be relatively clean/dry rope, after it has been on the seabed for a day or three it is full of sand it will be a thousand times worse.

I mean I could recommend a specific stainless hardfacing alloy, and you could tell them it will last x amount of time but costs 4 times as much.

But I would get bored if I didn't have them to do

Nothing special.
Just a rig to get the bins to the street.

Made a start on putting this up! Fabricated from the ground up including the lean too on the left..theirs no words to describe how much I love big projects, the bigger the better I love playing with tons of steel

Got a beam installed, that was a challenge, 7.7m and about 770Kg so fun moving that about.

The towers are not carrying the load that is taken by the 7x3 timbers, but they do stop it falling over and give me somewhere to stand.
It was that or 100T crane and even that would have been difficult with the trees / house, not to mention a small matter of cost, (the steel was bad enough on its own!)

Just three more steels to go but they are "normal" (i can even pick one of them up :-)), so should go in without having to get the inner Egyptian involved.
Mug for scale in the last pic.

No, more like a potbellied little character with a face like a glazed donut that certain tv stations like to use to make you feel like paying £2 a month to them on the premise that they will dig a well for them…

Today I made the crappy wood work vise on the small bench disappear

and fitted a nice old Record 52

I cleaned it up a bit and fitted some new h/wood pads made from reclaimed parquet flooring . I did not have any coach bolts the right length so I made some from m10 studding ( a bit rough and ready )

fitted as a dry run

then with the home made bolts
and a bit of a clean up it's not for show .

Tacked about 40 leg frames together and made a strong back jig for the 'Heavy', and modified a carver clamp to suit. This means i can drop a frame in, tighten one clamp with a windy gun, preset a bend, weld it off and it will come out perfect each time, and i don't think i could make it any quicker or easier now.
I've had jig frames before for this, but always used F clamps. This is the first time I've actually put some effort into it. The 'heavy' is actually getting some actual use for once.
