LOL!

I wanted something that was heavy and rigid enough that I can jig and weld things up with some decent accuracy without it moving around. I like the idea of designing and building my own chassis or a dragster frame eventually.

Cheers

If that thing starts moving because the castors are not locked, it will demolish down town Sunbury, slaughtering all in its path !!

Nice Job Mike

Just a quick update. The fabrication bench is pretty much finished. I've just got to give it a 2nd coat of paint. Unfortunately due to a bit of a miscalculation the top isn't quite how I wanted it. Silly me figured standard dimensions on full sheets of steel would be the same as the sheets of aluminium I've been buying in the past. A sheet of Aluminium is slightly over 1200x2400 where as steel seems to be bang on. This just meant I had to stitch an extra piece on the end of the bench. Still it won't affect how it works.

This thing is seriously solid





Cheers
