Popular Post 63Ragtop 32,802 Posted February 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 14 Bought this cheap outdoor furniture at the red shed several years ago. Thought the kids would have stuck their feet through the plastic basket stuff by now. But it still looks mint! The frame however must have been made from old vws and morris minors. Most people would chuck it away, but I'm making a stand on single use furniture. They all weirdly had rusted out in the same spot, so chop chop, zap zap, grindy grindy, and... Done. Still need to do the two seater. 21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
locost_bryan 23,099 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Was the wicker riveted through the top of the tube, without a drain hole at the bottom of the tube? Nice work though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s a very nice looking anvil, it’s a forged Peater Wright from the 19th century, the top face is high carbon steel forge welded to the body. 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Kimjon 5,472 Posted February 17 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 17 Picture montage inbound: Â Flash paint booth set up for satin black paint magic!! Â Now wooden blocks, hoping the rectangle shape will prevent the helmets twisting on the blocks, plus the inlet square tube will stop the block twisting on the stand...well thats the theory. Test fitting, rough enough... Finish product: And installed on the wall: Â If you've noticed the deer heads etc, you appreciate im having a little fun with the heads (helmets) on the wall theme. But its also a good way to store the helmets on display too. Calling it a win!! 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crash 371 Posted Sunday at 05:37 Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:37 Noice and simple. weld big nut on end, battery drill/driver, max revs, quick smart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tortron 63,820 Posted Sunday at 05:40 Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:40 Il probably weld the top part (can spin it around which is funny, but gives it a little more play and not really needed). Otherwise its ok when the bike is jacked up in the right spot. i jacked it right off the ground and walked around in the shed for a while and it didnt fall off, most stable when the front wheel is on the ground and taking a bit of weight The gears of the jack naturally have a couple mm play in them 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
