It’s option H-2...I’ve just not got the time at the moment
As @Mursal says, I’m out on a machine at the moment, so that’s next week taken care of, hopefully the week after I can get some workshop/yard time, but hopefully it will be spent making some steel work for another little job, and getting the Flail back together, mounted, and up n running....hopefully.....
Then, unfortunately I have a few other pressing jobs that need my attention, or I will have some very unhappy customers......then, maybe, I will get some quality workshop time.
I may even try and organise things a bit better so that I can get in the workshop a few evenings a week, to try and make progress, as it’s frustrating me a little! But the break from the project has done me no favours, I really need to get my ‘head’ around it again, if you know what I mean......
Rest assured, I will keep you updated once things get going again

Yes, back to the workshop in the evenings, your wife probably thinks it is a good idea too.

Used
Mine sometimes goes to bed early and it's made clear I'm not wanted then I have been known to disappear out to the shed till the early hours.
I have an old house stereo wired up, soldered in an aux so I have the MP3 player plugged in, tunes on loud, heater on, time flies by. Find I can get a lot done at that time of night.
I'm probably am wired up wrong though!

Lol!!
Got two but no more planned!
Hopefully the ones I have will be workshop minded and I can retire to all my restoration jobs I've hidden away.

Well.....I’m back on the Big A project
Don’t want to get too exited, as only spent a little time on it this afternoon, but I have cleared all the things off it, which accumulate on anything that stands still long enough, I’m sure you all know how it is.....
And got a wire wheel on it, getting the thin layer of rust that its also acquired over the last few months.....
So, I’m going to get going on her again, plenty of welding to do, even if I can steal an hour or two here n there, and get my head around the project again, especially the next piece of the jigsaw, which is the panhard rod mount for the rear axle....
Time, as always, is at a bit of a premium at the moment, but I will say, cautiously, watch this space.....

At least you do ACTUALLY get stuff done, not like me who spends excruciating amounts of time head-scratching!
Do you get splinters ?

Well....it was a wet and miserable day here, so that scuppered my original plans for the afternoon....
So I finished the tidy up round the A, got the welder fired up, and got a bit zipped up
