Made a (hopefully) wife-proof incinerator out of some off-cuts of mezzanine flooring.

This was almost a quick bodge but took me several hours so it failed on the 'quick' part.
Clearly that isn't wife proof. There is a great big hole in the top of it, through which one could most like get out of it.... Oh and I can't condone trying to incinerate wives.Made a (hopefully) wife-proof incinerator out of some off-cuts of mezzanine flooring.

I find if they have been “stunned” before being placed in incinerator it negates the chances of that happeningClearly that isn't wife proof. There is a great big hole in the top of it, through which one could most like get out of it.... Oh and I can't condone trying to incinerate wives.
up to you but I use 7018 rods (olikeron supercitos are nice i find (for 7018's) to weld with ) 4mm or 5mm if i can get them and run them at in the region of 200 to 300 amps on AC .Std rods? Im only asking as I’ve one that’s heading towards replacement was gonna heat it then layers with std rods
I'll admit the craftsmanship that went in to making it is good, but never realised it was that stunning.I find if they have been “stunned” before being placed in incinerator it negates the chances of that happening
Done a few like that or open the drawbar up and weld the eye inside the box or even cut the bottom of the box the width of the eye and weld it top and bottomI like to weld the new eye to a nice new piece of 20mm plate (on the workbench) cut to the right shape for the trailer drawbar but over sized so when you weld to the trailer you can get a good weld round the edges without being upside down. I trust my way 100% and am happy when it’s done this way.
That not a how to do it. But a how I do it.
tbf looks like the paints not quite as new as he says, but full marks for finding as paintbrushPaint? Big spender!
The paint that I was using was new though, it goes hard if it is old.tbf looks like the paints not quite as new as he says, but full marks for finding as paintbrush
Fair point, and theres no shame in removing the skin of the top, except if its rice pudding when its the best bitThe paint that I was using was new though, it goes hard if it is old.
