[nickk]

Still laid up,so posting stuff I made before,this was a vehicle specific lightwell grid,last October,shame I forgot the camera when I dropped it over the hole,frame in 50/50/6 angle,rest was 30 mm flat.tested of course with the fork lift.

Getting further with lathe guard. Ive not tried to "fit" parts like this before, could use any tips how to get the last bends correct. Problem is the big curved bit is free to move. I dont want to tack it in place, just incase the vfd doesnt like it.

I made a seat pan for the Suzuki then folded a little bit to house the brake light and flush mounted it in the tail.

More from the archive,doors and windows for a local venues,the interior doors are bi fold,I used hinges from Brundles,and then made a locking pin,so they could be opened as a single door.
The small window surrounds a steel column,the exterior doors and windows are from 60/60/4 box,with a cover trim of 80/6 flat ,the finish was natural then varnish,all very heavy,door being 130kg,the wall is 4’ thick necessitated 3 heavy frames in the opening.

Too many for 1 post ,the rest,was satisfying to incorporate some machining as well as fabricating,I cut rebates for the locks.

Id like to blame the welding on my mig box but quite sure the problem is me, need a lot more practise.

Luckily it wont be visible when its ground flat and painted!

Sorted out the guttering, soffit and fascia at my sisters as the cast iron stuff had started to leave the building.

I'd have made/bought a 'stand off' so that the ladder wasn't resting on the guttering, but that's just me...

are you not worried the long sections are going to buckle inwards under the weight of that much concrete?

Its not finished, there will be lots of anchoring down and cross braces to stop it swimming off
