Just a thought - when the Fire Brigade came round offering fire prevention advice and free smoke alarms, they gave my neighbour a right bollocking for having the windows locked with a key . . . the time taken to find a key and unlock them to get out if other methods of egress were blocked could be life threatening . . .

That's why one window, usually upstairs, should be lock free. Fire escape route.

I make the whole thing removeable so I can repurpose the purpose.

Finished welding these last night. I was able to pre-set the bend in the flat base for the treads, however they weren't perfect and still needed finessing with the press.
The gap on the side plates needed opening back out on all of the brackets, I made a little jack out of an M20 setscrew.
These need to be absolutely accurate, so it wasn't a fast job! And I've definitely under-quoted. But, still. Nice enjoyable work.
Ready for paint tonight.

Another metal storage facility, this time over the window.
Two 5mm thick brackets, lined with wood at either end, and an old bicycle wall bracket (carried the weight of 2 adult bikes).
Gets all my long lengths from off the floor under the cars. Just right for 3m lengths.
Currently there is approx. 135m of 6mm rod up there ...

Some hooks for a Holbrook lathe collet tray. Blasted the three originals, made six copies. The customer has got their work cut out with a grinder and a file to get the curves.

Nice work @Brad93 blending the welds...

Thanks. Die grinder did most of the work.

Thanks. Die grinder did most of the work.

I had to look at it 3 times, and only knew they weren't cast because I knew you'd plasma cut the hooks themselves!
Burr or stone? Or both?
If I tried that with a die grinder and burr, I'd end up with a mess...!

Just a burr. Started out with the Pferd Steel range, but they can make a right mess as they're incredibly aggressive, then swapped to the Pferd TOUGH range which are a lot more controllable a little less metal removals.

Nice job Brad !

This is a scrap heap challenge fly press / work bench.

I refused to ay the stupid cost of steel so routed around the pound for some steel, all dam galv`d aswell and cut up an old workbench that is galv`d scaff. Needs must

Got the top from work as they were throwing out a load of old welding tables and benches etc so got two of them, one 15m x 1.1m for this and other a bit bigger made from 3mm sheet folded edges aswell.

so at long last fly press is in place although i cant bolt it down yet as the concrete is only a few weeks old.


Sliced the cut line to bend it up. it was a bit deep and still is but have a splash back now lol

Heavy little bugger this one. good job i bought the lift when i got that.

The crane is invaluable in the home workshop. My has helped me move stuff on my own that I just couldn't budge! It made the move a lot easier too. Love the fly press, a great addition!
