Cynic-al Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Can you cut the bottom off instead of the top then re drill the hole for the foot... or is that another way of saying what you said.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hmm...possibly, yes. I'll look at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That turns out to work very nicely - finishes up with the new bolt holes comfortably clear of existing ones. Only got as far as marking up tonight, though. Cheers! Should've thought of that myself.

Cynic-al Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Phew, I was getting worried that I was going to miss out this year, but there it is, my good idea of the year. I can relax now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 For the sake of completeness...well, finally got round to more or less finishing this... Paid a grown up to cut and weld the beams for the shorter bay: Primed: ...and painted: And finally assembled: The more or less bit is because I've decided it would be more useful to have more but shallow shelves in the full length bay, so one pair of beams and wire racks that I was going to cut down for the shorter bay have been held back to go in there. When I can face taking everything off the shelves so I can move them... The short bay will have more than enough space for larger items that won't fit the long one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanco Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not worried at all,...... just wish Suffolk was a bit closer,...... those grills are great for keeping the dust build up to a minmum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down side is they aren’t much use for small loose items. But it’s easy enough to fit plywood where you need it (or if you’ve got the wire shelf anyway a thin top of whatever’s to hand over the wire).

geoffbeaumont Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 It’s the trunk of a crab apple tree from our old house in Birmingham (it was originally the root stock of a cultivated variety - probably a desert apple - but the graft had died at some point and the root stock put up new shoots). When it died I kept the trunk for turning, but my lathe then packed up and I haven’t sorted a new motor for it as I haven’t had space to set it up until recently, and more important things to do since. I’ll get back to it at some point! That’s what I tell muggles, anyway 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to get my dumper truck and trailers in the dry and my old man's caravan needs a new home as I needed to put this new acquisition in the dry.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
