CwazyWabbit Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 There's at least one that looks to be a sledge hammer with a very short handle..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Is that massive one in the centre a Hide Mallet ? I have a few that are similar - I have one the same as the one on the top left, above the copper mallet, but sadly the handle broke…. It was one of my Dad’s so I need to work out how to fit a new handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys Would do no good even if I thought I was good enough because I simply do not like to charge forum members for what I consider reasonable costs, £1/ month definitely fits that bill Another thing with "getting paid" is regular work contributions and have to do's and for me that starts to take the fun out of it I can afford it, you can enjoy it and we will all get a mog axle rest at the end of it Thanks so much for your support, all, regards Stephen 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 If you have the time and feel so inclined, I think a YouTube channel with this sort of fabrication would probably work very well.

Anderzander Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Lot of work to do a channel though - taking a few pictures is a minimal distraction, but setting cameras up and editing must take ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you secretly already have one and this is you : Very good, definitely not me lol But on a different note, I have used a thermic lance ( shown in the first few seconds ) quite a few times, great for massive bits of steel, stainless steel and concrete if your inclined to do so 59 minutes ago, Anderzander said: Lot of work to do a channel though - taking a few pictures is a minimal distraction, but setting cameras up and editing must take ages. Nate on dirt lifestyle did explain that the video for his you tube channel does take an astronomical amount of time Anyway I am a technological dinosaur and a Neanderthal hammer and chisel man, you guys need to realise how much of a technological jump it was for me to suss out posting on this forum, don't do any others, this one is enough, unless I go into full time embroidery........

Popular Post Stellaghost Posted June 15, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 15, 2022 More progress today, taking advantage of the nice weather and lack of wind That's everything in-between the coil spring seats done Front of the chassis is in generally good nick thanks to land-rover chassis lubricating system, however, I have found a crack under the grime that I need to attend to you will have noticed that the rear quarter is as yet untouched. That's because I'm going to cut it off and re-make, my channel shelf has encouraged chassis to rot through So rear cross member will be replaced with this I need to re- jig rear quarter anyway because mog axle will sit further back and the apex of the original curved section needs to be in a different position Regards Stephen 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
