That's been on my list of things to make for a long time, but I'm lacking in round tuits.

Please do, I'd like to see the details so that I can copy it!
Different wheels are needed, is the bigger problem with this type?

Got the hopper lifted on just before midday @Jim Davey and @andymdavey82 should own this crane 
Anyway got the legs chopped to length, made some steel brackets and welded them to the gallusses then bolted the hopper to them. Still have a few bits and pieces to finish off tomorrow and then that will be me finished.
Not liking the look of it, too square for my tastes but couldn't do anything else with the room I had and having to keep capacity to the maximum I could. It should look better once the shelter deck is on, I was asked to do that as well but too old for that kind of thing nowadays so it is being done by someone else.

Works well.
In continuing from my pipe bender stand.
I made a clamp for the "manual to air/hydraulic conversion"
I couldn't justify the £150 option so a pop to my local steel guy and he had some 89mm x 5mm wall stainless pipe. Perfect!
Made the flanges and some links and fits.
Hopefully find some 1¼ galv tomorrow and give it a test bend.

nice job I like that
Cheers, I thought it was a bit of a quick lash up but needed to start somewhere.
Truth will be if it stands up to bending the 1¼ galv..

A small fire place for the shop window made from reclaimed timber
I’ve used some oil soaked paper wrapped around the shaft for the seal to slide on, once it’s in position the paper pulls out.I turned up a seal insertion ring for a mate. It is the first thing I have made since the move! Nothing exciting but it is a start

Hopper finished this morning.
Cut a couple more bits from 12mm steel to weld to the plates on the deck then bolt the hopper legs to them.
Bolted the sorting tray on properly and also the basket holder.
In down position.
And both folded out of the way.

That's some 'beaver'. My beaver moves itself, but complains a lot. Also looks like 'your beaver' has taken your balls. Fortunately I've still got mine
