Thanks Abraham and  Steve  :beer: 

Used the ramps today at work , just the job, actually the muts nuts ,,,,,,,,,,, so I will have them independently load tested tomorrow for insurance purposes    .

Hi Mick , yerh used the plasma ,,,,,,,,,,,,,it worked a charm , only one flaw ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I keep setting things on fire with it  :lol:  , used it to cut through two 3mm sheets at the same time , no grinding (well if it was getting TIG welded I would ) just knock the bit slag off and stick it together   :dremel:



Cheers Rob

How do they do that Rob, just roll a loaded vehicle up or is it more subtle than that - maybe a quash test in a press?

Hi Andrew

Just loaded up in a large press  :thumbup: I had 30 (real) tones on each one of them in my shop press , I only need 20 tone max on each .

Hi Chaps   :wave:


Decided to do a bit work on the forge today , welded some very old and rusty steel onto the stand for feet .






and decided to cut a section of the hearth away  .

before .


 


after 




First time I have used the yard vice ,







 much better grinding out side , needs two mods , it's about 2" to high and it needs somewhere to hand a grinder   :scratch:

+1 for the yard vice. Looks like another project added to the list, though it might make the top of it.

Cheers Steve and Pete  :beer:

A yard vice is a must  :dremel:

Got a tad more done today ,was going great guns up until I pulled a muscle in my back  :( , so I will post this for now   , first job this morning was to cut down the yard vice stand

by 2" and add two bits of flat bar so that I can hang gear from them .

 
 


Then another job I have been meaning to do is add a hook to the 8" grinder , this was made from a bolt .

 





That done I could get back on with the forge , I am using up my old rusty stock on this project , this was cleaned up with the above grinder .




and cut and welded into this .




this being to support the hood and back panel .




deciding whether to bolt or weld it to the hearth .


cheers Rob

Tidy work as always there Rob! Shame you cut that vice down by 2" - I reckon I'm about 2" taller than you, it'd have fit me perfectly!  :lol:
Cheers!

Even Rob's rusty steel is shiny.

Brilliant, as usual.

Done a bit more work on the forge today , still pondering the hood so decided to make a work rest to support long pieces  .I did not want a floor stand , the floor is cluttered enough at time , I wanted something that will work in any position and stow away when not needed . 


The Wilson rest  :)






The long tube will have a tee bar thing fitted to support the work and the other end will be welded to the leg of the forge .

Hi Rob,

Just come across this thread, kept me awake and engaged for quite a while.

Your workmanship is really artistic, but where's the bloody outtakes???

Do we have to wait till the end, like John makes us... :)
