A fair while ago, I put a Eurohitch quick kitch on the little Ford that is my workshop and garden tracotr, so I could change buckets and attatchements easily. THe tractor had a set of silage forks that have been sitting for years. THey are narrower than the 1200mm wide Eurohitch bracket, so the plan was to widen the backing to take the hitch connection. First step was to cutt off hte old lugs and weld on some RHS to take the angled eurohitch bracket.
n
Weld on bracket, then realise I didn't make it wide enough to protect the hitch release pull thinkgie, so added some 12*50mm flat to cover it so it didn't get wiped out.
I don't actually need it whcih is why it hasn't happed before now, but at least now I can use it.

Something for the wagon.
A couple of brackets to mount on the back of the cab for hanging ropes on and a couple of "pull throughs" for, err, pulling chains or straps through loads. We move a fair few drums of cable out of Bridon at Wallsend so these are always handy, and the rope brackets will tidy up the back of the cab and keep everything where it should be and out of the reach of magpies

Made a steel frame for a indoor swimming pool.
I hate welding but needs must...
Steel beam quality is absolutely terrible, it’s like oak framing with all the odd rhombus shapes instead of rectangular

Gusset(s), for my wobbly veg patch frame. As rough as but needs must. Zintec, buffed with a Scotchbrite disc and a quick coat of zinc.
Gather available tin:
Mark it out, Fakita it, clamp square and drill the box.
Beginning to think I should have welded this...

Nah get enough gas flowing through it and you’ll barely notice the holes….That exhaust looks like it may be a bit noisy

Blimey is SWMBO cooking that badChild proof toaster/kettle..
socket turns off the outlets between 2359-0700 and stops you turning them on unless you disable the child lock.
On account of someone attempting to make them-self toast unsupervised

The eternal battle.
Btw, your workshop looks shockingly tidy. Very cosy looking.
