OK, hoping this is within the rules... think of it as kind of an off-topic fab thread.
Thought it would be cool to start a general thread for all the stuff you hideously talented people create/build/repair/service/invent etc. Can be for work, something you needed at home, or just for the fun of making something.
Hopefully we can use the combined expertise of this place to share some hints/tips/tricks for those of us like me that aren't actually much good at anything, and need all the help we can get.
Anyhoo, to kick things off - built these for the company workshop over the last week or so:
Built as two identical units that can be pin-hinged together for big jobs, or seperated to support both ends for cutting. Will get mounting holes drilled on corners for steel saw, bench grinder, vice, and mitre-saw.
Frame - 50x50 and 50x25 steel, 25x25 angle top surround:
Blue stuff is painted in RustGuard Aluminium colour to match the galv sheet.
Decks - (this should make FatZook cringe) 19mm ply top sitting in the angle, then 1.2mm galv steel sheet folded (hammered by hand, old school) over the corners and welded down:
My welding is still pretty inconsistent, but the thin steel sheet did make it tricky.
Each unit will get 4 HD swivel castors, 2 with brakes, bolted to plates on each leg so they are replaceable.
Actually quite impressed with my accuracy cutting and welding, and with the finish I've been able to get. Welding itself is mostly OK, but not great.
Of course I managed to put the Festo through one corner with the first job I did on it, so had to patch that up.
Managed to get it nice and smooth again though.
