    Amazing job Simon, I was luckily to score a John Heinz, prob spelt wrong, 4’ pan break from work. Someone had tried to bend a 2” x1/2 “ piece of copper bus bar in the right end, broke the cast hinge piece and a 2” finger. I made a new hinge out of 50mm plate.
    Might need to move it on soon.
    cheers Bruce

    Nice work, in that first picture it looks very similar to the English made Edwards I have

    Thanks mate. I can see i will need a couple big counter balances for the leaf.

    The leaf itself being 7/8" is heavy enough to hinge from gravity. Add the folding forces and its bloody hard work!

    Edit: I'm still tempted to make it hydraulic so I can do away with counter balances and keep it more compact. But I'm not sure i can be bothered.

    I can't stop folding stuff!

    While it all comes down to how much elbow grease i have, it folds everything I throw at it so far.

    I'm very happy with initial results. It will fold more than ill ever need...

    Here's a 500mm length of 3.2mm perforated steel. Its the longest piece I had.
