I have lost my welding skills due to long term non-use, so I used wood.http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1500826205

A thing to hold up another thing?

The beginnings of a medieval trebuchet. At last, I thought you were never going to get round to it Ray. +++

I'm not sure my mitre saw would make an angle cut that long!

All saw cuts by hand. The old fashioned way, pencil line, T square and calibrated eyeball.
I liked the look of it so I stained it brown with fence preservative. Surprisingly I still liked it so I made another four. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1500883930 |
I have no idea what these will be used for Ray, so I'm guessing it's shoring formwork??

OK I give in.
Gwen says I've played it long enough. Remember I'm only a simple old man so my projects are slow in development but do require lots of sitting down with a cuppa. Here is one of my things in position prior to preservative. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1500887017 Now here is the final assembly, but one of the grandaughters has declared that the preservative must be kept away from the finished thing. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1500887017 It is surprisingly comfortable, at least three brews worth of comfort. Now Gwen is going to make a fitted cushion for the whole thing. Luckily I've left the seat low enough to allow for fitting a thick cushion and the back slope is just right for leaning on. I chose 70 degrees for the angle of dangle having measured various seats. The only problem is that now I have put my tools away SWMBO has delared that I am going to start the next project. Build her an Arbour with honeysuckle growing all over it just like the one she had me pull down a few years ago. O-hum! |
Top marks Ray +++
