DIY workshop stand

[gbb]

Idle hands and all that
Sunday at work...nothing much to do, so....
25mm mild steel box section, 30mm angle, assorted bits and bobs and a MIG welder ...2 hours work maybe, and i got paid for the pleasure.
et voila...

At this stage youre probably thinking...'its too low'...'hows that going to work then'....


so....

I hope i havnt left a yard full of cr@p for everone to see

S'funny what you can learn fossy...
No previous experience of fabrication or welding till i came to this job. With the right gear, you can turn things out you would never have thought of.
Couple of years ago a friend broke part of his ornate gate catch, a real detailed bit..couldnt get another.
Give me the old bit and i'll make you one...t'was duly done.

'fcuk off..he said, you havnt made that !!!!

I'm not sure to this day he believes me

Ive made motorbike trackstands, aquarium stands, repaired electric window mechanisms off cars, etc etc...and i'm not even qualified to do the job i do, let alone trained to do this
