Following on from my lorry tipper build. A few more bits done. Almost forgot to do the body prop. Progress is slow but getting on.

Front box and sloping front welded on.
View showing the wash down pipe which will hopefully help getting the prawns and mud down to the doors seeing as I couldn't get the larger slope I normally do.
Close up of wash down pipe.
I was going to get it taken down to Arbroath and just finish off the rest on the boat but the forecast for the next few days is strong wind so I will just do the last few bits inside.

Grinder chopped a few lengths of 40,30 and 25mm chrome plated bar lathe food, into 250mm useable lengths.
Little holder for the die grinder bits.
Planning some new way covers after melting the abs sheet. Ive cut, flattened and annealed the copper after photo but not decided if I will use vice or try making a wooden form to bend the V. It will fold up onto the saddle with some extra bits brazed on.
Now turning some usacut55 making a mini er11 die grinder collet chuck, 6mm shaft so I can hold the smaller bits, without them constantly pulling out!

Here in England & Wales if you drill down into the recycling & waste disposal regs. I gather that there is a requirement for the seller of new mattresses etc. to take back the old scrap stuff .
Our new Tempur mattress shop's supplier gave us a massive thick poly bag for our old mattress and they took the old bagged up one away when they delivered the new one for the princely sum of £ 20 a few years ago .

About a year or so ago a neighbour asked me if I would like a free... "YES!!" I interject... sofa bed.
Friend was staying over on occasion so it would be handy despite taking up precious room. Cut to the chase, the mattress inside it was rubbish and would collapse to nothing. I took the sofa apart for the materials, mostly the foam cushions. Eventually managed to dispose of the steel framework, coverings etc. but the mattress persisted.
Never mind, I'll chop it up into bits and sneak the parts out in the rubbish over a couple of collections. NEVER AGAIN! My god that was a chore. The thing became enormous. A zillion useless springs clipped onto thin metal strips. Too fragile to cut with a grinder, everything clipped together with fiddly bits of bent steel I had to chop it apart with bolt croppers. Even then the sections of springing took up a huge volume. I had to wrap them individually, tie them up, stuff into a bag and vacuum form it to hide it in that weeks rubbish collection.
It took forever to dispose of.

Your wife?
Err, well that was the joke yes...
Slightly bemused it needed to be explained.
There was a case a couple of years ago on an industrial estate at St Mary's Cray (south of Bromley) where a firm had been taking in vast quantities of mattresses, presumably due to this regulation, and they were piled sky high and overflowing everywhere. I think to company just upped sticks and de-camped and the local council had to clear up the mess.

"Take my advice, Dave. When there's a pile of rubbish, there's money to be made."
"Yes, Arfur. Usual, is it?"
