Manfacility Metal Works

Well I bought some fancy welding clamps, adjustable magnetic ones. I needed them yesterday to help hold the cab together. Could I find em? Nope. Nowhere to be found, until today when I got the milk out of the fridge. There they were, on the shelf next to the yoghurts ....
Think I'm going doolally

You can say all you like about fridges, it's what's good on the inside that really matters

Bit more at it this afternoon. Back end done apart from the crane. Mocked up the front end too. It's going to be difficult to let this one go I think.

Removable flue done. It's the only part that's not to scale

Must be a hell of an engine in there to need that exhaust

[PaulJL]

Ran out of welding wire so gave it a test out

 

[Panky]

Works well by the look of it

 

[renaultvation]

That will be an insurance right-off now

 

[PaulJL]

Just entered it into another metalwork/ fabrication competition in the BBQ category. Fingers crossed

Looks great! And you can hire it out as a film prop

I've was asked if I would build another one the same... until I told him how much it would cost him... I was then told where to stuff the burner and he could get one made the same for £50 lol. There is 3× that in materials
