Second was a little smaller, and its claim to fame was my own version of knee suspension. Remember that concept? Independent suspension using a large single wishbone on each side?

this is alot more more fun than building trailers for carrying bins of spuds thats for sure . altho those skills learned on them have come in handy over they yrs .
my eyes arnt as good for welding nowdays so i just do the taking up and let my younger offsider do the full welds he was keen to learn and his work had just put him thru a welding course so i handed the mig gun over too him , i think i need a prescription lense in my helmet if there is such a thing cause if i wear my glassers under the helmet they seem to fog up .
cheers dean
