New toy

[northwest]

They are actually a small enough foot print my shed/workshop isn’t huge so I plan on making a frame and having it on wheels

One of these days I am going to let on just how big (small) my workshop really is and it would probably surprise quite a few people. I should really revamp the whole thing, I nearly did six years ago....... Maybe, possibly. We'll see. I acquired a small Harrison tool and cutter grinder, I had to build a shed for it. I have my "new" drill press, God knows where I am going to put that. In the middle of the office right now.

If I found one though, I wouldn't hesitate and work out the logistics later.

Can’t beat a GEKA. Spent hours and hours on one during my apprenticeship. Obscenely useful. Stainless bar goes with a bit of bang though!

So apart from punching holes what else can it do? Sorry for the silly questions but I am still learning(I am 73 by the way)!

Works as a shear and crop for angle - there’s a good video in post 9.

Makes sense now. Thanks.

For anyone that’s interested and has a small ironworker this might be of interest to you if like me you were stuck for space.
I mounted her on a frame and can move it around with relative ease without firing up the forklift every time I need to move it

I also hit the bank account and got a buddy to compliment the ironworker…..gates and railings are much easier now!
It’s also 220v

oooh. nice bits of kit there. I can see that gate making is a breeze (ish) now

Wow, nice bit of kit.

Looks super useful.

Hydraulic ram / guillotine I guess.

I really don't want one now.
