They look good but you need longer ‘wings’ to wrap around the jaws fully, otherwise they will fall off every time - I am speaking from experience

You are quite correct, I could have if a) I could weld and b) I owned a welding machine. Unfortunately I am lacking in both of these areas! Hammers, drilling machine and my big vice to the rescue!

I have two oil cooled welders you could have, postage may be the killer though

Thank you for the very kind offer! I have had a collet chuck sent out though, 7kg and postage cost the best part of £70... acceptable since they don’t make them anymore. I dread to think of the cost of welders being sent... perhaps @fizzy can enlighten us!

All I can say is to get a welder of 45Kg sent on a half pallet (with £3000 insurance) was going to cost me the best part of £300 return and that was just from Scotland to England. I would imagine it would cost a lot more to NZ even without it being insured

Cheaper to buy a car and put it on the boot
Then get someone else to pick the car up.

From say Glasgow to Bristol or Southampton would be about £60 and insurance 30 with us. Only remote Islands would cost that much.

It maybe wasn't your sitE but I checked a couple, the one I think is yours was coming in at just under £125, so assuming it is the same price return that is £250, throw in cost of materials to make a crate and it is the best part of £300.
