Not actually made by me but by my son; a mancave coffee table.
The plan is still to mount a windscreenwipermotor to slowly turn the engine over and ligths to show off the underside in the mirror.

That would look the bees knees if the whole engine were cleaned & chromed well .

I agree, but clean it is, it is just a cast iron engine block. It had to be a Simca engine since the cave is in a corner of a cellar below a friends house. This is the home of eight immaculate Simca's.

TIG Rod holder.
top is folded 1.2. bottom a bit of 4mm checker lurking in the corner. Floplas 40mm solvent weld pipe and a straight connector as the lid, using knock in bungs for the top and bottom. Just fired up a 24yr old Dell running XP pro. to print out the lables.

Not sure what you mean? Execution Class?

You can carry out design in any Class.

I work to class 2,the auditor states “ your not a designer,you mustn’t design “.

Why are the verticals not in the middle ?

Nice work.

Tried some carving a bowl in oak. Chainsaw is a bit rubbish for it, compared with carving disc in grinder works much nicer!
Chainsaw had no problems chopping it off.

And started some stainless turning yesterday and boring today.

Don't forget to label the tubes as well, lids always get mixed up.

Why are the verticals not in the middle ?

Nice work.

I'd guess because cars will park under there, and that would put the verticals just in the way of opening the doors.

I work to class 2,the auditor states “ your not a designer,you mustn’t design “.

The auditor is looking for evidence of design competence. I've just got our company through it now and he was OK with two design engineers having a mechanical engineering degree, and me being CEng. The other way to do it is to design yourself, and get a structrual engineer to do the calcs, they will need to submit competence and indemnity insurance details also.

Why are the verticals not in the middle ?

Nice work.

Maybe one side is the people and the other side the dumpsters/skips ?

I like it, and the flange stiffeners at each end of the connections is a nice touch, not just one in the middle of the bolted connection.

The design looks custom, but doesn't resort to full custom columns/beams which would cost allot more.

I do prefer box tubing in my designs when I can (although it's industrial fixturing mostly)
but I did do a few outside light standards and such.
I find the box tubing makes it more Pigeon resistant.
