Favour for a part time farmer friend
Warning, contains welding
This is something he uses to guide the cows down from the barn to where they get locked in a cage thing for vet inspections etc. As you can tell I've no idea what the correct name is as I'm no farmer
There is a gate that swings around the semi circle thing to encourage the cows down the alley
He wanted some sort of selfocking system so the cows couldn't back out so I came up with this from some old offcuts I had kicking about
There's 8 of the triangles arranged around the semi circle so as the cows move down he can move the gate just by pushing it
An improvement over the bailing twine he usually uses
I did have to put the welder and bottle on a pallet to keep it out of the cow poo

I'd flatten the top of those, it'll still work the same but slightly less impale-y should someone ever fall against it.

She'll get 20 holes in then order a sheet from Bion.I quite like that the grille mesh I'm making is a piece of casing from a duff microwave I scrapped! Just waiting for some 4.8mm cobalt bits as I can't find mine.
SWMBO is apparently going to drill all 600+holes. Well, it's her who wants the old microwave back to do Chrimbo dinner.....

We've obviously been hung up on the same sort of stuff left unfinished
First thing I thought too - even reaching over and snagging a coat sleeve is going to be annoying.Otherwise almost looks farmer proof

I very much doubt it. Stubborn is her middle name.

If it's a tunnel / run then it's a chute or if it clamps their head and immobilises them it's a crush

Does she know that after drilling the 600 holes she will have to deburr 600 holes?

The sooner she starts then the better!
I'll likely screw the jig down to a bit of MDF with the stainless sandwiched in between. Then smear some cutting compound over the lot.
