What I like even better is find something that I forgot I had and think I always wanted one of those.

At least you'r back in the shop making things happen and getting closer to truck stuff.
Agreed Vince.

I actually just laughed at myself when I found them.
I knew they existed, but had forgotten they had gone into a box on the shelf.
Was under the impression I had given them away.

And finding stuff is always good.

Just need to find the steering knuckle I lost in there a couple of years ago.

Nice job on the cart.
Thank you Bill,

I am pleased with the way it has evolved and come out.


Next up I cut and sectioned the top frame tubes by removing 300mm from it.



Then welded and ground it all back together.



Giving me a large potential table for grinders and accessories to be placed on.



I had been asked to feed back on this welder by a few people.

Well, after finishing my assembly, I called Neil of Rally Design to thank him for putting me onto this machine.

It makes welding a doddle, even for a numpty like me.

Penetration is great as is spread of the weld.




Once the top table frame was ready, with the steel supports welded in place the rest just took time.



Not that impressive turned over.



Wheel plates welded in and position of castors decided.



And job done.

I had to go feed Joy’s dog and cat as she is away for the weekend.

Also walked him.


Next up, paint frame, wood and make a top shelf for the trolley.




That’s all for now.
