Stuff you have made today

If you get any more Cheetahs up there Hood I think you should rename it to "The Savannah".

 

[Hood]

A Cheetah?
Very nice what engines are going on it?

Yes, one of the very latest designed ones, think it is only the second one to come out of the mould.
I believe it is Yamaha 130's going on that one.

I assume for commercial use - do you - or the people using it - claim back the duty on the petrol? Well worth doing.

Aye getting to be quite a few here now, Arbroath has 6 and supposedly at least another 3 considering getting one and then up at Montrose there are 4 and the one above will be the 5th but one of them will be getting sold so if you want I can pass on your address


Edit
Arbroath actually has 7 Cheetahs at the moment.

Yes they are commercial and yes the skippers/owners claim back the duty which is a substantial amount.

Glad to hear it - good luck to anyone who can! Petrol for 45p per litre - who would bother with electric?

I wouldn't wish it on the poor thing. There's a 12' cuddy sitting unloved in my drive now that I got with my sister and the best of intentions :/

Structural steel david ?

 

[davidjohnperry]

Yeah buddy been doing it for the last 4 years

 

[davidjohnperry]

This one was gas axed to length by us by hand and all the slots gases by us and plates slide through we have done bigger one but at 3.6 tonnes it's a fair lump

Did a load of it years ago when there was a power station built here. I found it ok to do.

 

[davidjohnperry]

It's ok but as a newly starting out in welding and fabrication I'm getting a little stagnant looking to develop different skills this year

 

[jordhandson]

This afternoon it got real cold out side so I returned to the warm shop a knocked up a cranking handle for my mill as it had one missing

 

[fizzy]

Off topic but I made this today - then in 2 days time I will make more.....

 

[Hitch]

Nice haul, looks to be a few Crown, Sorby and RecordPower ones in there?

 

[mpats]

So this is the one I meant to post here. The second nephew has his naming day (non religious thing) this weekend so I finished this today for him. Black walnut for the handle, bought high carbon Damascus blade. Got a sheath in the works using Muhuhu and ebony if I get it shaped tomorrow.

Why would they do that?

Do you not think Racso is a good name?
