Better than my drill bits were too blunt to drillany more holes. Bolts were floor finds dropped by shed builders. Steel is sbed frame wind braces that didnt get fitted for some reason.
I wouldnt cheat on this thread @Nearly lives too close and would report me to the bodge police. I think by now he is a 'red baler band scheme' non quality assurance inspector. Complete with home made clipboard and a chewed red pen that doesnt work.

I would look at the picture again........ the "condition" suggests "reasonable" age.

im going to say 10/10 for such a good use of broken tine.
I also like the use of the washing machine thing, though i expect the more hardcore bodgers will only rate it at 5/10 as the have an even cheaper method, which would save buying a new washing machine just to get the hose thingy off one?

Ok tin hat on. Needed away to fill the snacker and bags made my own tote bin. Not the standard of Exmoor Dave with expanded foam but cost £30 including sundries and Enviromental charges!

Maybe it should be in nearly engineering. I'll get me coat.

We use ours loads now we're feeding fat cattle.
Both 6 ton bins are in use for the sheep so cattle feed comes in totes
