haha thanks. It's gear I've been gathering over the last few years, eventually going to strike off on my own for general engineering. ATM I have a 5ft 1/4" rated guillotine, a 2 metre 35t press brake, those 1.2m 3mm rated rollers, amongst quite a lot of gear really. We built a mezzanine flooring for the workshop last year and revamped the whole thing really.

The gnome helps out sometimes...

Mezzanine looks good what sort of load rating would it have

The free-hanging side was calculated around a 3t distributed load.

Very handy when space is at a premium

My late neighbour Clifford would shout at lads for 'bloody facebooking ' wen supposed to be working.
Funny thing for me being hed absolutely no idea what Facebook was .
He would ofcourse be correct either way.

Look at that table! What a workshop.

When this lockdown is all over, you need to do guided tours. I'd pay a tenner to see how a proper workshop should be set up.

Made this back plate, means I can fit my grain bucket on my digger arse about tit for loading muck spreader , worked really well. Oh and I refurbished the old slewtic bucket while was on .

No words needed

Here's my version for kuhn fert spreader. Can put pins in to attach spreader to base and move it around on pallet forks. Its 50cm above ground which is recommended spreading height for kuhn on most things so make sure I pick it up level.

@Chae1 that's definitely better than mine! I wish I'd put a back stop on it now, because the tractor picks it up on the links before the top link goes on.
The castors are a bit on the weak side too.
Still better than pallets.

Castors online are a good source. Those 4 were £40 If I remember correctly. The wheel changer in the background got a new set of castors too.

I usually get beefy castors from WDS online, but these were used castors I had lying around and wanted them used up, lol

Nice work.

But don't forget to power wash the bucket afterwards, disinfect it then record it all in the little black book!!!

Don't have any. Will take some next time it's on. Probably be next week if we get silage done. Kuhn offer fold down legs as a option, but like that one as I can pick it up with pallet forks.
