I’m going for a ramp bar. Plates obviously weld around some box section and the rod slide through the holes. Rod maybe not big enough for ramps so possibly a big hinge?
Top guess hinges for the single bale trailer mk3/D, it’s a running bodge or forever altering

I needed to see if I could resurrect a completely flat car battery. I've done it before by linking the different one to a good one andvthen trickle charge.
I couldn't be asked to go and get some jump leads to join them together so made do with what was to hand, couple of bits of wire and some plastic caps off a new battery bought some time ago

Thank god for this, nearly had a heart attack looking at this thread today. The clue is in the title, Quick and bodge! Bl++dy engineers, sneaking about everywhere!

Too easy!

The workshop is far too tidy, but you do redeem yourself with the number of sharp/electrical trip hazards, well done.
I need to put some sockets on a ring main (oops) I counted up 18 sockets daisy chained from one wall mounted socket but the ring main is in the 'other' workshop now.
As long as it's only me working one at once I'm fine but I have to remember to turn off battery chargers before I use the welder.
I don't need to put the electric fire on though. :)

My camera is having off days but just finished a bodge.
Which raises the question. 'Is a bodge ever finished?'

Insulated box profile sheet wall between 2 areas of workshop.
£40 worth of ebay used roof sheets.
Used 5x3 timbers out of old roof of new cottage.
Door out of demolished farmhouse.
Half a box of long screws. (New)
Just need a new door lock and one of my half cans of expanding foam to work now.

This swinging doors is easy @JLTate
NEW screws ! I hope you got them from the scrap yard
