Big old angle cube

That’s come out a treat.

Aye, a great result there - and, lifting apart, remarkably little effort.

Citric acid is now my go to de rusting solution. Much simpler than electrolysis

What do you think it might weigh?

156lbs or 11st 2lbs or 1cwt 3st 2lbs

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.

Nah, porridge is what's needed. Mind you, that thing weighs almost as much as me.....

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

Get some readybrek. Our Great Dane is lame at moment - lifted her in and out of the Disco 3 times today she weighs 67kg

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.

mine stays on a wheeled two drawer filing cabinet that is just the right height so i dont have to crouch, or stretch. all four wheels steer, so it will spin.
i've never had to rotate it end for end - cant see why i ever would?
