Made this liner for the back of my car from an ibc tank. No more dirt, grease or calf

on the carpet anymore hopefully.

Couldn't quite get the skidsteer into one of the looseboxes.

So some wonky work with the circular saw and a sledge hammer and we're in.

Bit easier and quicker than the hand fork. Just 4 1/2 buckets full

That green paint and head gasket problems could be contagious

Couldn't you have just reduced the tyre pressure for a few minutes? Like your plan however. Let's hope you don't get a bigger skidsteer or the gutter won't work next year!

Ah well these old sheds are pretty knackered anyway especially the asbestos guttering. This one has always been awkward to clean out. In the past we hired a smaller bobcat but it wouldn't quite go under either. Should have done it years ago

Inherited a vice so we bolted it to the trailer for fencing. Handy for cutting short lengths of rail

A couple of years ago I made a removable one - two vices mounted base-base so that the bottom vice could clamp to the side of a trailer or similar. One vice had a couple of "V" notches cut in the jaws for clamping pipe & round stuff vertically. It was jolly handy right up until it got "borrowed" by three gentlemen in a whitish van & I've never gotten round to making a new one, but when I do I will probably make it with an adjustable vice so that it can also sit at 90 degrees.

Your IW trailer must be stronger than mine. I've plans to mount one on a length of box on the corner.
The best I've seen was on 2 pieces of PTO shaft profile, rock solid.

It's so slippery. I'd like to see them remain standing

for a start its a Graham Edwards! and I got it built with box section in the top of the board for extra strength so we drilled through that. its solid but i wouldnt want to hit it with a big hammer!
