New Kit for the shed
Not exactly cobra related but I guess being (mostly) boys we like shed's and the stuff in 'em.
And I will be using this for my upcoming heart transplant. Anyway - its your usual bleak winter Saturday in Melbourne. Q: What to do... A: Put up a gantry (naturally) First you need some posts. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Image0132.jpg Then you need a whopping I beam (watch your toes) http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Image0162.jpg Bit of a hand to lift it up http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../Image0191.jpg Jiggle it round 'til you find the spot http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...m/Image020.jpg Dangle things http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...e_goes_007.jpg The nice people at the engineering shop even lent the big-ass drill to make the holes for the bolting down of the posts and supplied the amazing glue/cement mix to secure the bolts in the floor. Looking forward to hanging my 347 from that thing. LoBelly |
LoBelly, have you not seen the picture of my pitiful little shed? :) I'd say you were showing off if I wasn't simply in awe!
Well done on the effort and good luck with the transplant. (notice I am avoiding a dig at those heavy dinosaur Ford engines) ;) |
Thanks Sambo
It's the brother's shed but I get to use it - built the cobra in there and it was a great facility to have, my own shed is closer to yours. Now its pay-back time so I'm helping on the boat. Fortunately the gantry has 2 x 2ton hoists to lift the 347. The ford engines need that weight to pin 'em down a bit with all the torque they produce (unlike the talk from LS crew - very lightweight :) ) LoBelly |
Haha - touche!
Unfortunately I have two sisters - and you reckon they've got a shed to lend me? :) |
Sambo,
You could use their sewing room for instrument work, and the wiring looms :) |
