That’s come out a treat.
Aye, a great result there - and, lifting apart, remarkably little effort.

What do you think it might weigh?
Ok I can't resist.
60kg + or near as dammit 10 stone.
That's why I am not keen on the idea of having it free floating on a bench or having to manhandle it.
Eat more shredded wheat
Almost as much as me....legNah, porridge is what's needed. Mind you, that thing weighs almost as much as me.....
I've just ordered some citric powder...After seeing that I need to do all three of mine.
They’re the same size, 60kgs doesn’t surprise me. Lifting one onto the bench is about all I can do without sh****g myself

Here's the problem. All that weight in one sheer, slippery lump. You can't get under it and with my fat fingers, I can just about get purchase on the slots. If you drop it from any height onto a finger, you'll be counting up to nine for a month.
As I zero in on the design, it becomes clear a better solution might be a shelf with some sort of retainer to stop it from falling and perhaps a simple lifting mechanism to help Orient it. Its very weight is an advantage once its in position, even if you start clamping bits of metal to it for welding.
