Not Quite Farm Engineering or a Quick Bodge.

Nothing to taxing there. After having years of trying to stick rusty metal together. I found a new bit it was like Christmas and so much easier.
A few years back we built a shed frame and a 16 tonne grain trailer I hadnt done alot of welding before but got the hang of it by the end.
Now there is always something a dropped off outside the workshop by neighbours to be welded back together.
My problem is I over engineer everything.

Thought this was ideal for this thread, wouldn't fit in the bodge thread really as there is a new bolt used, the steel isn't secondhand and there was no way to off set this with baler twine or bent nails and the like! Only used a drill, grinder and the welder so could quite justify the engineering thread:rolleyes:

Had a couple of Rams to re-seal today , needed a pin spanner, didn't have anything suitable, TBH I meant to get one but forgot! So cobbled together this, worked a treat(y) another job jobbed and another tool for the homemade tool drawer:)

Thanks guys :) , it did make it easy, they weren't tight TBH , not very well re-assembled when I had new rods put in them:mad:. So I knew they had to be as tight as I could get em this time(y)

Thanks for the invite @Dave W , I think I have suitable projects in the pipeline to make a contribution at some point(y)

Or I could drag out some pics of old projects..........?

The qualification criteria isn't strict.
No bale string. No hammers bigger than they need to be and measurements taken in dimensions more accurate than thumb widths

I will see what I can do Dave , sounds easy, I don't have anything to do with straw so finding the used string for the bodge thread is difficult...and dads just cleared away all the scrap:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
