I am thinking that a lot of them have cupboards there.. so instead of cupboards put a few bunks. This would only be small bunks while my daughters are under 10 yrs.

Re large marine ply – just join it together.. never done it myself but I am sure there is a thread here about it.

Pics

Ok I finally pulled my finger out on the weekend and started building my sausage stuffer... here are a few pics. Might get it powder coated and still need to attach the disk to the end of the...

I usually use cooking oil? What about that works a treat and don't have to worry about any contaminations in the air etc when blowing the thread clean.
Also use it for drilling too..

Hello Guys

I know this is probable not the right forum – but from my last post about making a large hole for my sausage stuffer I am building – it seems that a few of you have had experience in...

That is a great idea (why didn't I think of that)... I will put some pics up once I have completed - be a few weeks away.. (too much going on)

Hello Guys..

Thanks for all your advice.
I actually had a metal hole saw (getting too much crap in the shed can't remember all my stuff) chucked that in the drill press with some canola oil and...

Thanks guys - I might go and look for a metal hole saw (I do have a drill press)
Yeah I do usually make holes with the drilling multiple holes in a circle idea and I may also use that again - just...

Thanks

Does not have to be too accurate as I will weld a nut under the hole to do all the work.

Would a metal cutting hole saw get through 5 m? I have already been thinking the file might be...

But is it legal?

Thanks for the advice 10 foot that does not leave a lot of room for the drawbar - would a 3 foot be abit small? I suppose backing the trailer would be a nightmare.

I have always wondered but is it legal to put a towbar on a trailer and tow two trailers??

Gents

Well just as well I didn't pay for them (an old Priest gave them to me .. go figgure) so I am guessing they are not hot.

Hello Guys
Does anyone know where I can fill up my Oxy Acetylene set - I own the bottles.
